For the Institute of Internal Communication (IoIC), positioning itself as a trusted body within IC has taken top priority as a cornerstone of the organisation’s existence for over 50 years. Yet understanding this translates to not only the promotion of the profession, but also includes the practical development of the industry through brainstorming and thought-leadership. As the IoIC’s awards and conferences pledge an ongoing commitment to IC, IoIC Live 2017 focuses on the core skills needed to succeed as an IC professional.

The conference opens with a digital focus, fleshing out mobile strategy and delivery that places fast-paced, disruptive technology at the heart of IC. Alternating between keynote talks and valuable case studies, the programme aims to deliver upon the numerous ways to achieve success within the profession. Interactive sessions and Q&As add to a mixed bag of IC involvement, allowing delegates to network between peers and share a common vocation towards engagement within IC.

IoIC Live 2017 offers diverse and varied outlooks through experienced industry professionals collaborating to share insights from all corners of IC. Representatives from organisations such as Harrods, Oxfam and Nationwide are set to lead talks showcasing a mixture of IC skills that showcase how IC forms a central component to the success of an organisation. Discovering the use of stories within IC, the impact of intranets and centring the necessary channels of communication are just a few examples of how IC continues to lend itself to the entire shape of organisational success.
