It's the time of year when everyone likes to predict what will happen next year and beyond, and the Rīga-based NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence (STRATCOMCOE) is no exception, albeit with a more specialized twist than the usual soothsaying about who will win Eurovision and whether Barcelona or Real Madrid will top La Liga.

December 16 at 16:00 Rīga time (GMT +2) will see STRATCOMCOE director Jānis Sārts talking "Trends in Strategic Communications. From 2020 towards 2021".

"What trends NATO StratCom COE has noticed and analysed in 2020? What will be the biggest challenges for StratCom community in 2021? Get your questions and comments ready for the livestream!" urges advance publicity material.

This year's last #StratComTalks will look at what has happened in the field of #StratCom in 2020 and project what trends we might see in 2021. See you there on Wednesday! Our speaker this time will be director @janis_sarts. pic.twitter.com/DgyYVaZpTf
