Biel Communication Days Foundation
The Foundation's goal is to hold the Biel Bienne
Communication Days (Comdays) on an annual basis. The event features Publigroupe
S.A., Hasler foundation, OFCOM and the City of Biel Bienne as partners
with national and international expertise.
The Biel Bienne Communication Days Foundation was established in 2001
to mark the ten-year anniversary of the Federal Office of Communications
(OFCOM) and in order to organise a seminar on the topic of "Communication"
from 2002, in collaboration with the City of Biel Bienne. The event is
intended
to fill a gap in the Swiss conference landscape and at the same time
to help achieve the strategic goal of the city of Biel Bienne in its
long-term development as a city with a services-based economy.
In 2006 Publigroupe SA and in 2007 Hasler foundation joined to make
the Biel Bienne Communication Days one of the most prominent events in
the Swiss communications sector.
With one partner from each of the technology, research and print media
sectors one of the core goals of the Foundation has been achieved: the
media and content sectors are comprehensively involved and prominently
represented as sponsors. The next goal, the formation of a top-class
programming committee has been achieved in 2007, in order to be able
to compile an interesting programme from the variety of specialist topic
areas.
The Foundation financed the 2002 – 2006 events
and is aiming for "Communication to the next level"
with additional partners and sponsors from 2007.
