“The Campaigns & Elections Magazines Campaign Training Seminars are a win-win opportunity. Attendees get to hear from the best and brightest in the campaign industry while practitioners have an opportunity to network with colleagues they may rarely get to see face-to-face.” For the student or volunteer campaign operative, it is a great way to pick up skills as well as contacts, that often translate into business opportunities.”
