See below for the description of the kick-off session on Day 1, 11.20am Collaborate Zone. The session is for the Dragon’s Den style pitches.
Cosy Meerkat in partnership with the IoIC are launching Co:Lab, a new initiative designed to explore how internal communications can drive real business impact - not just engagement, but tangible, measurable outcomes.
Too often, comms is seen as a support function rather than a strategic driver of change. Co:Lab challenges that mindset. Through experimentation, collaboration, and real-world case studies, we’ll uncover what truly works when it comes to shaping culture, influencing behaviour, and delivering results that matter.
Expect to get your hands dirty as you join together in small groups to solve problem statements that we will present back in Dragon’s Den style pitches at the end of the Festival (Day 2, 13.40 in the Discover Zone). Whether it’s navigating AI, embedding leadership communication, or breaking down silos, we’ll be tackling the biggest challenges facing the industry.
This isn’t just about theory - it’s about real impact. Are you ready to push the boundaries of what internal comms can achieve?
