We will have two superb speakers, followed by an open forum for discussion.

First Speaker: James Gadsby Peet, Director of Digital at William Joseph

Creative Collaboration

We often talk about collaboration – with our colleagues, volunteers and audiences. In the current climate we have had to adapt the way we collaborate, but it is more important than ever to ensure we engage and support each other and our audiences. But how do we collaborate effectively so that all voices are heard and we reach the best possible solutions? And how do we embrace the digital world to help us do this? Join James Gadsby Peet from the Creative Agency William Joseph to hear about how to bring diverse groups together to solve problems through genuine collaboration.
