Does your organisation have ambitious business transformation goals and big income targets? Is your digital communications strategy helping you achieve success?

Last year 300 delegates attended this one-day event. Join us this year to learn:

  • Citizen and stakeholder engagement best practices.
  • How digital communications can help organisations save money, generate income, communicate effectively in an emergency, and change citizens’ behaviour for the better.
  • What engagement techniques and service designs are working for others.

This event will be a great opportunity to share your experience and make some new professional contacts.
