How we built the brand of the “most beautiful city in the world”
In a conversation with Petra Kovič, he will discuss how, as Mayor of the capital of Slovenia, he has built new foundations in terms of communication with citizens, internal communication with employees, as well as relations with the media and other publics. After all, it is thanks to him that the slogan lauding Ljubljana as the most beautiful city in the world has become deeply rooted in the hearts of not only the people of Ljubljana, but of Slovenians in general. The fact that more than 32,000 citizens have met with him so far at the Open Days, which are held on the first Tuesday of the month, serves as further proof that communication is the cornerstone of success. SEMPL participants will have the opportunity to increase this figure even further since the talk about his contribution to the strong brand of Ljubljana will be followed by a short Q&A, where the audience will have the chance to ask him a few questions.
