59th IAPC World Conference - "Power and Power"
Energy, defense, and the campaigns that shape what comes next.
Seville, Spain · 11–14 November 2026
For more than five decades the International Association of Political Consultants has convened the people who win elections and advise governments. This year in Seville the theme is "Power and Power" - a deliberate double meaning. One power is energy: supply, scarcity, and price as instruments of statecraft. The other is force: security, defense, and deterrence. Between them sit the political campaigns that must explain a more dangerous world to voters and shape what comes next. We're inviting proposals from consultants, strategists, pollsters, public-affairs leaders, academics, and communications professionals whose work speaks to that intersection.

The 2026 agenda. "Power and Power" runs along three currents:
- Energy - supply, scarcity, prices, and the weaponisation of energy; how campaigns must re-message for a world of contested supply.
- Defense - security, deterrence, and conflict, including the contest over perception - cognitive and information warfare that now runs alongside the kinetic fight.
- The campaigns that shape what comes next - including how AI is reshaping persuasion, mobilisation, polling, and information operations.
Your session need not sit squarely inside one current, but the strongest proposals will connect to at least one.
Your audience consists of political consultants, academic experts, elected officials, public affairs professionals, and strategic communication practitioners from around the world. This is a professional forum. The audience expects insight, clarity, rigor, and applicability. Your responsibility is not merely to describe an experience. Your responsibility is to isolate and explain the critical ingredient that made your case succeed - and to present it in a way that experienced professionals can evaluate and adapt.
