Festival 2025 highlights

What a fabulous day at the #IoIC2025 Festival! A gorgeous rural setting, IC inspiration everywhere you look. I can see why it’s not called a conference…

Andrea Law

This was my second Festival, and it really does feel like you’ve created more than just an event. It’s like a little community now.

Jarrod Williams

I recently had the chance to attend the IoIC Festival – and it reminded me just how valuable it is to step out of the day-to-day and reconnect with fellow internal comms professionals. Set in a beautiful location and rounded off with a BBQ and live music, this truly felt like a festival, not a conference. I left feeling energised, inspired, and proud to be part of this evolving profession.

Joanne F

What a great event at a lovely venue - and even gorgeous weather! Lots of takeaways.

Rachel Tolhurst

It was an incredible two-days! I’m buzzing from all the new and inspiring ideas and also from connecting with so many like-minded internal comms professionals.

Rose Dahlan

In what can be a lonely role at times, it's vital to share challenges and continue to build a network of like-minded peers during such upheaval. I came away feeling truly inspired to tackle challenges head-on and experiment boldly, reaffirmed in my importance to my business and the teams I work with.

Richard Bew

The event was full of open, honest conversations about the challenges facing internal communications professionals and practical support to solve them together.

I have loved my experience at the IoIC Fest this year and once again, feel ready to return to the office with a wealth of insights to share with my team.

Lisa Gibbs

You know when you attend a really good event? One where the sparks of inspiration are still resonating with us days later. That's the hashtag #IoICFestival25.

H&H

Last week was my first IoIC event I’ve been to and won’t be the last. Some brilliant talks and insights on where organisations are at in 2025 Additional takeaway, IC people are the friendliest and smartest bunch.

Davide Lorente

So much has been said about the content, learnings and genuine camaraderie at the Festival, so I’ve nothing more to add other than, roll on next year for more insightful conversations, cool stats and thought-provoking presentations to fill my curiosity cup.

David Manning

My first festival and what an insightful and fun and incredibly warm time!

Jennifer Watkins

I'm also just back from the IoIC Festival 2025 which is always a mine of new ideas and fresh thinking - looking forward to putting them to practice.

Aoife McEvoy

This event is always a highlight in my calendar—and once again, it delivered. Energising, thought-provoking, and full of stimulating conversations, reminding me of why I love working in IC.

Tracy Keates

The festival itself was incredibly inspiring - not just for the wide range of thought-provoking speakers and sessions, but also for the opportunity to connect with so many brilliant internal communications professionals from across the UK.

Olivia Leary

It was such a brilliant event, from the workshops and talks to the people and conversations it was all so valuable.I loved having the chance to explore new topics, and left with loads of ideas and energy to bring back to work.

Odemaris Victoria Ibanez

A cast of 60 brilliant speakers, who talked honestly about what didn’t work so well, as well as what did. Thanks so much to the team at the IoIC for putting on such a great event.

Cathy Lee

It was eye opening and lots of fun. This wasn’t my usual crowd, but I was welcomed with open arms.

Caroline Checkley-Scott

It was such a fab event – literally the work highlight of my year!

Candy Hall

Having attended my first conference in - checks notes and checks again - 1990, it’s tempting to be cynical about yet another one. But this is a festival that gets better and better, certainly in terms of the content.

Nick Andrews

Best internal comms conference I have attended thus far, truly well organised and thoughtful line up!

Sheril Holbrook

Excellent work putting the festival together. You can really tell the thought and care that goes into it.

It was a really great festival. the sessions were great overall but I mostly valued meeting new people and how friendly everyone was. Overall 10/10 experience - thanks for a great time!
