ESN was honoured to support the ‘(Re)New Europe’ summit in Romania by managing its social media, press relations and providing conference equipment.

The European Summit of Regions and Cities is the most important biennial event on the calendar of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR). In 2019, the event gathered 948 participants at the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest, Romania, on 14-15 March.

In the weeks running up to the summit, ESN’s social media experts coordinated a comprehensive campaign promoting content via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. During and after the summit, video content boosted engagement online and promoted the Bucharest Declaration, which was announced to stakeholders and press during the event. ESN identified 80 journalists – local and international – and managed their invitations and accommodation as well as the press conference itself. We also coordinated the conference moderators.

To ensure the smooth running of the event, ESN proposed innovative technical solutions – such as livestreaming and a 96m2 branding wall – for three conference rooms. Branded AV equipment and installation was provided, including a 48m2 projection screen, projectors, digital screens, lighting, microphones, furniture and a speakers’ podium with a lectern.
