CIPR C+FG Speaker Lunch
10 October 2006
 

C+FG Speaker Lunch - Speaker Chris Blackhurst, City Editor, Evening Standard

Venue: City Marketing Suite, Basinghall Street, London EC2
12.30pm

Cost: £15 C+FG members; £20 Guests

For details of the CIPR Corporate + Financial Group's lunch time speaker meetings, contact Sue Owen, 2 Greenways, Pembroke Road, Woking, Surrey GU22 7DY Telephone: 01483 771932; Email sueowen@corporate-financial.com

Chris has been City Editor of the Evening Standard since 2002, during which time he has produced a series of notably trenchant opinion pieces and memorable profiles of the city's movers and shakers, as well as running a newsroom to deadlines invariably tighter than those of a national daily 'paper.

After studying law at Cambridge, his first foray into journalism was as Assistant Editor of Euromoney's International Financial Law Review. From there he progressed through Business Magazine and the Sunday Times' Insight team to become City Editor of the Sunday Express, before undertaking a series of roles at Independent and Independent on Sunday, covering business, politics and serving as Deputy Editor. Immediately prior to joining the Evening Standard he was Deputy Editor of the Daily Express and Sunday Express from 1998-2001.

Always readable, and often provocative, he was TSB Financial Journalist of the Year in 1989 and has been highly commended for a variety of other Press Awards.

     

CIPR C+FG Speaker Lunch 13 June

  with speaker Ian King, Business Editor, The Sun

Venue: WestLB, Ground Floor Auditorium, Woolgate Exchange, 25 Basinghall Street London EC2V 5HA

As Business Editor of The Sun, Ian King has one of the toughest jobs in financial journalism.

Ponderous 'thinkpieces' are off-limits, ditto the arcane and technical. Every day he picks the most prominent business stories, distils them down to digestible length, and knocks them out in Sun style. His achievements are widely recognised: he was awarded "Business Journalist of the Year" at the 2005 UK Press Awards after being nominated also in 2001 and 2002.

He has been at the Sun in his current job since 2000. Before that he was senior financial correspondent at the Mail on Sunday, having also been a city reporter/stock market correspondent on both The Guardian and The Telegraph, where he started his journalistic career in 1993 after four years with Midland Bank. Ian is a graduate of Manchester University and has a postgraduate diploma from City University.

This meeting will take place at 12.30pm (sandwich lunch will be served) for 1 o'clock on 13 June 2006 at WestLB, Ground Floor Auditorium, Woolgate Exchange, 25 Basinghall Street London EC2V 5HA. Please note that it is not possible for us to accept reservations by telephone. You must reply, with payment as soon as possible. If you cannot draw a company cheque in time, please send a personal one. Entry will be refused to those who have not paid by the due date.

22 June 2006   The Sound of Schmoozing or The Sound of Improving the State of The World?

Time: 18.15 for 18.30 Start (Drinks at 19.30)
Cost: £15 members, £20 non-members

Joint event with The CIPR International Group and the Corporate + Financial Group

The Sound of Schmoozing or The Sound of Improving the State of The World? with Mark Adams, Head of Communications, World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum is best known for its Annual Meeting in the Swiss mountain resort of Davos. It describes itself as an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas.
Many CEO's of the large corporations which you may represent will be participating every year and we are all familiar with the immense press coverage which echoes from the Swiss Alps every January.

Mark Adams, the World Economic Forum's Head of Communications, is responsible for orchestrating most of the Davos sound. He will explain how he communicates the organisation, but also how the Forum manages to deal with the many competing egos. Or should we ask about the dilemma of potentially competing intentions of the Forum and its participants?

Even though he now has an office overlooking Lake Geneva, mark is originally from Redhill, Surrey. Early in his career, he rose through the ranks to edit the ITV Early Evening News before relocating to France to be the editorial director at EuroNews. Whatever questions you may bring to the evening, we expect a highly interesting talk with Mark. And to make this even more appealing, the event will take place at 30 St Mary Axe, aka 'the Gherkin' and will conclude with the opportunity for some networking over drinks.

To book places at this event, please email sueowen@corporate-financial.com and send a cheque made payable to CIPR Corporate + Financial Group to Sue Owen, Corporate + Financial Group, 2 Greenways, Pembroke Road, Woking, Surrey, GU22 7DY Tel/Fax 01483 771932
