    Attending the Lobbying in the EU: How to represent and defend your interests in BrusselsTM
    workshop is the most effective Brussels based event for developing your understanding of
    the workings of the EU.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    
    Endorsed by the Society for European Affairs Professionals ([2]www.seap.be) this event will
    contribute greatly to helping you better understand the European decision-making procedures
    and the practical realities of representing and defending your interests in Brussels.
    
    The workshop is run over a day and a 1/2 and is organised in partnership with Grayling
    Global.

    Day 1 of the event explores the theoretical aspects of lobbying. It will focus upon the key
    co-decision procedure and lobbying best practice. Real-life case studies will be presented
    and a lobbying methodology will be provided to delegates. The afternoon will finish with a
    3-course evening dinner with guest speaker Bill Newton Dunn MEP, who will explain, among
    other things, the do's and don'ts of lobbying with parliamentarians.

    On Day 2 delegates will have the opportunity to put into practice the theory and knowledge
    they have gained through the use of a real-life lobbying simulation exercise. There will
    also be a discussion with a member of the European Commission, who will discuss the
    practicalities of lobbying in the 2008-2009 political climate and explain how you should go
    about lobbying the European Commission.
