The Prinsjesfestival protocol seminar in the Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal on Friday 12 September 2014 is 'sold out'. Over 170 protocol experts from the public as wel as the private en cultural sector will attend the 12th. Invitations to the seminar have been sent to those responsible for the relationship management and protocol. This seminar is by invitation only.
The Prinsjesfestival is the organiser of the protocol seminar. The seminar is organised on the occasion of ‘200 years Kingdom of the Netherlands’ and the first Prinsjesdag, the opening of the Parliamentary Year, two hundred years ago. Basic protocol rules were agreed upon at the Vienna Conference. Those rules became part of the Vienna Treaty and are still adhered to today.
Our current hectic and informal society has created the need for a modernised version of protocol. The focus of modern protocol has changed from formality to functionality i.e. effectively managing relationships.
The seminar will start with a lecture by historian Dr Edwina Hagen about the power of protocol in the early 19th century. This will be followed by a discussion about protocol with the Portuguese protocol expert Ambassador José de Bouza Serrano, EU-parliament Chief of Protocol François Brunagel, fashion designer Sjaak Hullekes, corporate protocol expert Alise Long and Olof van Winden of TodaysArt. Stefan Wijers will moderate and William Hanson is our master of ceremonies.
