Our next IoIC Manchester Hub will be held on Thursday 26 May 4-5.30pm, at Inc, Blackfriars House, Parsonage, Manchester, M3 2JA.

IC professionals are welcome to share ideas, inspiration and ask questions of others in a relaxed and informal setting. It’s a great place to connect. This is our first Hub of 2022 and the first face-to-face for 2 years! We want to give you a chance to hear from others within the Manchester region about their latest comms projects, ask questions and debate key industry topics. We want to try and cover the challenges of the past, the present - 2022 and maybe a quick glimpse into the future, if we dare look that far! 

Rachel Fraser, Head of Internal Comms at MUFC will be sharing some of her many recent IC challenges and Ian MacArthur,  Director of the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter who will be talking about the work of the Charter, you can see further details here.

We are delighted to be holding our next Fellows Roundtable event on Thursday 16 June at 1pm.

This time the spotlight is on us and our careers, in particular how we can use our IC experience as a springboard for other roles - related or not. We all know IC is the best job around, but sometimes we may want a change, apply our communication skills in a different context or have influence over a wider range of activity.

We'll hear from two Fellows who have made the move and join them and other senior colleagues for a one hour facilitated and open discussion about the opportunities available to senior communicators and how to access them.

To ensure we generate quality conversations, networking and sharing, we're limiting places to 20 Fellows, so book now to secure your place.

The session will be run on Zoom, with the link provided the day before the session.

Join Beatrice Ngalula Kabutakapua, Business Storytelling Coach, for a Bitesize event - a practical workshop for internal communications professionals to work on how you can humanize yours and the company's communication while using stories.

This event will take place on Zoom, joining instructions will be sent the day before the event. 

We are excited to be holding our virtual Opening Evening for the Masters in Internal Communication Management on 30 June between 4pm and 5.30pm. 

At the Open Evening you will have the opportunity to hear from MA alumni about the ways in which the course has improved their internal communication practice, as well as talk to the Course Team about what you'll study, how the course is run, and any other questions you may have. 

We are so excited for the IoIC Festival 2022! Building on the success of 2021, and taking on board the feedback we had – this year is set to be bigger and better.

96% of our 2021 festival goers said the festival gave them examples/advice that would help them in their role.

The Festival will take place at Goosedale on Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 July. We will, once again, be bringing internal communication professionals together to Connect, Inspire and Learn. You can find out all about the 2022 Festival here, including the line-up. 

We had such an amazing time with you all in 2021, we cannot wait to do it again this July!
