The TPBO Expert Panel

Since 2014, TPBO has regularly brought together practitioners, researchers and advisers from around the world to discuss how places are being positioned, promoted and perceived.

The TPBO Expert Panel meets periodically to share perspectives on the issues shaping the field. The panel is not a permanent committee. Its composition changes over time, and different voices are invited depending on the topics and questions we are exploring.

Beyond the panel discussions, we draw on our wider network of place branding professionals and researchers for interviews, commentary, research and special editorial projects.
