IDU Campaign Managers gathered prior to the IDU Forum in Washington D.C. to discuss new strategies, tactics, and trends in campaigning. After a year of campaign victories in many member parties, the IDU offered a platform to exchange best practices and share experiences. Participants from over 30 member parties gained inside views on the 2020 US presidential campaign and received timely debriefs from campaign managers from Austria, Australia, Canada, the U.K. and Germany. Facebook’s Global Manager of Civic Partnerships, Crystal Patterson, provided a helpful update on engaging audiences via Facebook’s platform.
Building relationships among global Campaign Managers is a key tool offered by the IDU to our global members. We look forward to continuing to expand this network and our capacity to share best practices in collaboration with the new Chairman of the Campaign Managers Division, Prof. Dr. Mario Voigt from Germany.
