Are you interested in knowing how organisations are adopting internal social media to change the way they work, improve their communication and innovate? If so, there’s an event coming up which I think you’ll like.
Simply join SMiLE London on 25 September – read on to discover full info and how readers of my blog can save 33% on the price of their ticket/s.

It’s time to SMiLE again
At simply-communicate we spend the year tracking down the best stories of Social Media Inside the Large Enterprise (SMiLE). We report and publish case studies, articles and news each Friday on our simply-communicate magazine.
While we keep a close eye on the latest technology, our main focus is the culture, the behaviours and the human side of digital transformation.
I share all our articles via our social media accounts – Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google + . Plus, since last week via our new mobile app! – read Marc Wright’s tutorial to download it.
What’s SMiLE London?
SMiLE London is the twice yearly conference by simply-communicate on Social Media Inside the Large Enterprise. (I spoke at the one this time last year and led a table session at February’s SMiLE – Rachel).
Every six months at simply-communicate we identify the top employee social network stories from our publication.
We do this by taking into consideration a number of factors: innovative leadership communications, cultural change, social media adoption, strategy, employee engagement, community building and much more.
However, ultimately it’s our readers who tell us what the most interesting case studies are and what they want to know more about – and we value that feedback! We then bring these successful stories live onstage at SMiLE London.
We will continue keeping you informed and updated on the subject through our reporting and publishing. At the same time we hope you will be able to join us on 25 September.

New course from the Institute of Internal Communication and All Things IC
If you’re interested in all things internal communication and social media, this week a brand new course has been announced from the Institute of Internal Communication (IoIC).
It’s taking place in central London on Tuesday 9 September and is being run by me. It’s called Social Media Strategy and Tactics to Improve Collaboration and Communication.
This is the first time the course has run and I’m looking forward to it. It’s going to be workshop style, so attendees will have the opportunity to discuss challenges they are facing, successes they have had and we’re going to be examining how to take enterprise social networks to the next level.
If you’re interested in attending, see the IoIC website for full information and how to book your place.
Don’t forget to check out my comms calendar for a full round-up of events for professional communicators, including the upcoming annual IC conference on 2 October from CIPR Inside – the early bird rate is still on for a few weeks.
Thank you as ever for stopping by. You can sign up to my blog via email to ensure you never miss a post.
