 Working smarter is vital to delivering the best communication for the business of the future.
In an Olympic year, we’re asking ‘Are you in the best possible shape to deliver the high performance that successful organizations crave?’
The 2012 IoIC conference is titled ‘Building Peak Performance’ and runs from May 23-25 at the Marriott Forest of Arden hotel near Birmingham.
Double Olympic medallist, rower Steve Williams, sets the scene at the conference by drawing parallels between his achievements and business, giving insight into how communicators can create the right conditions for success.
Delegates will also share insight, take part in interactive sessions and debate, as well as networking.
It’s not a sprint. It’s more of a marathon, but this year’s conference will set you on the right track, with practical case studies and shared thinking.
To book for this year’s conference, contact brenda@ioic.org.uk |

If you think your work is brilliant – or if you need to measure yourself against the best – the opportunity is here.
Entries are now being taken for the newly revamped Institute of Internal Communication Awards 2012, and there are 39 awards spread across eight sections.
Download your entry kit here.
The awards have been updated to celebrate the kind of work being done every day by IC professionals in the UK. They cover everything from campaigns, innovation, digital media, print media, writing, events and design to individual work as an internal comms ICon.
The aim is to discover the best work that’s going on now in internal communication – and spread the word.
“The IoIC Awards are not like other competitions,” explains awards chairman Paul Brasington. “We’re not here to make a profit, our only concern is to pick out best practice and hold it up to show what can be achieved.
“We’re interested in excellence because we want to help everyone achieve it.”
Every entry (except the ICons) will receive an individual constructive critique, written by experienced judges, to help you take your work forward.
There are many good reasons to enter the IoIC Awards – and here are just five:
- improve your expertise, via judges’ feedback
- justify your budget
- raise the bar
- inspire your team
- enhance our profession.
2012 will see one awards scheme and one awards dinner, which will be the internal communication event of the year.
The entry deadline is February 17, and the IoIC Awards dinner will be held at the Hilton Park Lane in London on June 15.
