International branding conference (Manchester).png
International Place Branding Conference Great Britain, Manchester 2013.01.08.-2013.01.20. Place branding, place management, place marketing, strategic spatial development, public-private place partnerships, all synonyms describing one thing - the application of business principles to place. The language and conventions of business have spread across the world, to places of all scales, from district centre management through to nation branding. This widespread extension of Market principles to places (districts, towns, cities, regions, countries and even continents) is not without critics, with many economists explaining that it is firms that compete not places. Nevertheless, those charged with place leadership chant the mantra of place competition, hence the expanding business of place. The aim of this conference is to accept these alternative realities and provide an academic 'green zone' for contributors to bring their perspective on the business of place for the explicit purpose of theoretical development in the area. Based in Manchester, the original modern city, delegates will play a pivotal role in making sense of the state of the knowledge for academics, practitioners and policy makers. [16]

The Power of Africa - Africa as a Stronger Actor on the International Stage France, Paris 2012.03.13.-2012.03.15 The conference will in particular address the expectations and opinions that the outside world holds of African development and how this often diverges with what might be more realistic and customized solutions on the ground. One aim of the conference is thus to debate whether alternative forms of institutional rule and economic models can be deemed more effective in Africa than the established forms of Western governance. The conference will look at global as well as local perceptions of African leadership and development, and the bilateral trade relationships that Africa has with China and India. Furthermore we will explore the role of the African Union as well as civil societies in enhancing interregional relations within Africa and what prospects this holds for its future international image and bargaining power.

Marketing Cities- Place Branding in Perspective Germany, Berlin 2008.12.04 - 2008.12.06 Today, place branding and place marketing are a widely-used instrument of communal business development. But still, there is a great insecurity about the exact effectiveness of place branding, about its correlation with other forms of regional development and about the implementation and the management of place branding strategies. The international conference "Marketing Cities: Place Branding in Perspective" aims at disclosing these correlations and at understanding the broader context of place branding. It especially aims at closing the gap between theory and implementation that still characterises many place branding initiatives. [101]
