Reputation

The congress is positioned within the German communications profession as a major specialist gathering for press officers, PR leaders, and communications managers. Its perceived strengths are its broad professional network, large program, participation from business, government, academia, and media, and combination of practical sessions with networking. The format is primarily relevant to communications professionals and organizations rather than a general audience. Publicly available information does not establish independent employee figures or standardized product pricing because the brand sells event participation rather than physical products.
