Digital Seminar @PN Amstelveen
by Marta Majewska
Yesterday, the first digital seminar of our EMEA roadshow took place in the PN Amstelveen office. The event attracted high attendance from the social media knowledge seekers. Participants came from all different industries ranging from automotive to gaming. We also welcomed three attendees from the most popular social network site in the Netherlands – Hyves.
After some opening words from Maurice Jansen, Director @PN Amstelveen and the organizer of the seminar, Gary, John and Danny gave a lively presentation during which they discussed Porter Novelli’s take on digital and its role in the communications industry. They presented the most important trends that are shaping the communications industry these days from augmented reality through location-based services to gaming. There were some great and varied questions from the audience that initiated a spirited discussion.
The event was rounded up with a drink where more discussions on digital and social media took place and we were happy to receive many enthusiastic reactions from the attendees.
Kudos to PN in the Netherlands for hosting the event!
EMEA DIGITAL TOUR KICK OFF!

Yesterday, we proudly kicked off the EMEA digital tour in the Porter Novelli Amstelveen office! The Netherlands is the first country, followed by Belgium and Spain, where we will be hosting the digital seminars starring our Porter Novelli digital experts namely Gary Stockman (Porter Novelli CEO), John Havens (VP, Social Media at Porter Novelli and the author of the book, Tactical Transparency), Danny Devriendt (Director Digital Europe) accompanied by me 
It was a lovely sunny day and we received a very warm welcome from our Dutch colleagues who even decorated their entire building especially for us – no, the decoration has nothing to do with the WK …
The day long discussions about social and digital media were rounded up with a great internal session during which we discussed the trends currently shaping the communication ecosystem and shared our digital experiences with each other.
We finished off with a drink where more discussions on social media took place (the digital talk never stops at PN 
)!
Today is another exciting day in our tour – we are holding our first seminar for the Porter Novelli clients, media and other interested parties. Wish us luck!

- FranglaisFollowing the recent elections in Belgium, some of my overseas colleagues asked me about the language divide and how we manage with conversations in Brussels. How do we know if someone speaks French or Dutch? Do we assume everyone speaks both languages? How do conversations start? I question whether this dilemma is unique to Belgium. [...] […]
