If, as Nancy Duarte puts it, a leader’s job is to anticipate the future, and guide their people towards it, a communicator’s job is to spot the trends shaping that future and anticipate what audiences will need. This half-day conference will help you make those connections.

Running on the afternoon of Monday 16^th May, the agenda will be split into four key parts and led by Michael Ambjorn, International Executive Chair of the IABC.

Part 1: What’s the big idea? Three speakers will look at current and emerging societal, technology and economic trends that will directly impact our lives and businesses over the coming years.

Part 2: So what if? A quickfire #Rapido session with five speakers each taking five minutes (and not a second longer) to share their thoughts on what’s hot, and what’s not, in the future of corporate communications. Curated by the incomparable Ezri Carlebach.

Part 3: From talk to walk – what do the big ideas mean to your business? Michael Ambjorn will lead a reflection on the earlier #Rapido session and a panel-audience discussion of the role communications professionals play in making their organisations future-fit.

Part 4: What next? A group sharing of key learnings, next-step resources, shared objectives and individual action plans. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and transform the big ideas into a plan that works for you. After the event we will curate and share all of these outputs.

Never has seeing the bigger picture been so important for communications practitioners and this IABC conference is all about connecting you with the ideas, people and impetus that can help you make a difference back in the business – both immediately and in the long term.

Come and join the debate!
