IC Index 2025: Live Briefing & Panel Discussion

IC Index 2025: Live Briefing & Panel Discussion

Join us for a live session exploring the insights from the IC Index 2025  the UK’s leading report on employee perspectives of internal communication, produced by the Institute of Internal Communication (IoIC) in partnership with Ipsos Karian & Box.

Now in its third year, this essential research captures what nearly 5,000 UK employees really think about communication in their organisations - what works, what’s missing, and where leaders need to do better. Join us if you want to design communication that truly connects and drives outcomes.

In this exclusive online session, you’ll hear directly from the research team behind the data and explore what it means for your practice and the future of internal communication.

What to Expect

Insights from the Research Team:

Hear directly from the experts at Ipsos Karian & Box as they walk you through the standout themes from this year’s Index. From change, trust and clarity to employee identity and the role of AI, they’ll unpack what the data reveals about what truly creates a 10/10 internal communication experience.

Panel Discussion with IoIC Fellows:

Following the research briefing, we’ll be joined by a panel of IoIC Fellows – experienced internal communication leaders from across sectors – for a lively discussion on how the data translates into day-to-day practice. They’ll share:

  • First-hand reflections on the most striking findings
  • Practical advice on how IC professionals can use this insight to drive meaningful impact in their organisations

This is your chance to hear the latest research and ask your own questions to IC experts.
