Global Protocol Summit is the annual event promoted by 9 Associations of Protocol Officers. The aim of 2021 edition is to rethink traditional Protocol practices in the new normal, analyze current challenges
and new ideas.
The Summit brings together international experts, experienced protocol officers, new talents, public servants, entrepreneurs, diplomats, event managers, researchers, publishers, contractors, and individuals
who love Protocol and Etiquette.
Together we will draft a positive Protocol Agenda to address common tasks that our sector faces in the new normal
both regionally and globally.
Protocol helps to improve relations between public officials. Without it, mutual understanding between peoples is doomed to aggression and conflict.
