Fancy joining thousands of intranet and digital workplace professionals from around the world for a free 24-hour virtual conference?
Now you can, as this is just one of the events coming up in the next 10 days. It’s your chance to ask questions, get inspired and see live site tours by Adobe, Barclays, EY and IKEA. All from the comfort of your desk/sofa/bed – wherever you choose!
Here’s my regular look at what’s going on in the world of comms, including this conference, so you can plan your diaries from 17 to 27 May 2015, and keep updated.
Digital Workplace 24, #dw24 is happening on 20 and 21 May. This is an excellent event and worth checking out. It is 24 hours of intranet and digital workplace inspiration.
The speakers are fantastic and include Stowe Boyd @stoweboyd, Cheryl Burgess @ckburgess and Dave Gray @davegray.
You can tune in when you want, from wherever you want and for free.
Let’s take a look at what else is on. I’m not sure why 21 May is so popular – there’s a bumper crop of courses and events to choose from!
I’m also working on something with PR Week at the moment, and will be sharing news of a special offer for readers of the All Things IC blog soon.
Got something to be considered for my future articles or comms calendar? Do please Tweet @AllthingsIC or contact me.
