The Diplomatic Platform of the Press Club Brussels Europe hosts lively programs and unique networking events. The Diplomatic Platform initiative was launched on 9 March 2015 by Mr. Alain Hutchinson, Brussels Commissioner for Europe and International Organizations, in the presence of one hundred diplomat members and guests.
The Platform aims to provide the Club’s diplomatic Mission members, including government and regional representations, with an exclusive event program, insider perspectives on current events, as well as with social and professional networking opportunities. Since each diplomatic membership provides three individual memberships, the Platform thus unites hundreds of ambassadors, press officers, diplomats, government officials and regional office representatives.
Diplomatic Platform members are invited to participate in select events and are encouraged to offer suggestions for future programs. In order to allow Platform speakers to be frank, Chatham House rules apply to these briefings and presentations unless noted otherwise.
Besides the special program of the Diplomatic Platform, members will be able to use the Members’ lounge, with free beverages and publications, and to organise briefings and presentations to showcase their priorities. These could include: investment attractiveness, policy initiatives and challenges, cultural programs, tourism campaigns, and special events.
Diplomatic members can also expect tailored assistance with their media needs and with publicising visits by ministerial delegations.
Please also note that the Press Club exhibits at the Press Club entrance the flag of country members on their National or Independence Day.
