BRAND UKRAINE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

June 6, 2024, Kyiv

The BRAND UKRAINE International Conference is a flagship event dedicated to Ukraine's brand development and international communications. Serving as a professional hub, it unites both Ukrainian and international experts in strategic communications, brand development, and global research, alongside government officials, diplomats, and business representatives.

Among friends and partners gathered here, we will share experiences and knowledge, discuss the most effective practices and tools, acquire new insights, and strategize for Ukraine's brand development. Our goal is to make Ukraine's brand even stronger and more influential on the global stage.

Ukrainian Superpower:

How Ukraine won the hearts and minds of millions of people in the world?

This year, the conference will focus on Ukraine's soft power. It has become a crucial tool in garnering widespread international support and bolstering Ukraine's hard power amidst the full-scale Russian invasion. Ukraine's soft power has emerged as a superpower, captivating and inspiring millions worldwide, instantly making headlines and dominating news feeds and social media platforms.

The Brand Power

How sharing knowledge
about its culture and history
helps Ukraine find support worldwide

Soft Power

How Ukrainian diplomacy, creativity, and effective use of digital communications captured the hearts and minds of millions

Balance

How to keep the Ukrainian cause in the focus of global attention and lay the groundwork for post-war recovery

Ukrainians are already convinced that the country's image is a powerful "weapon" on the world stage. The country's brand affects its ability not only to attract investments and promote its goods and services in foreign markets but also to influence decision-making in international relations.
