We aren’t running major physical events yet, and like many organisations, we are evolving our approach as we come out of the pandemic.
The events we have run have emphasised practice over theory, and covered digital transformation and driving business value with digital tools, social collaboration and new business models. We aim for a different style of conference, as well as our meetups and unconferences. These are all inclusive events that focus on business process and ROI aimed at people in business who want to find out how to make digital work, as well as experienced practitioners and consultants.
We partnered with Kongress Media to co-produce our London conferences about business transformation and digital enablement. From 2014 to 2018 we ran the Enterprise Digital Summit London, focused on the future of the organisation. A version in June was themed around the digital workplace. A version in November was themed around the future of the organisation and the future of work.
Our conferences are practical, pragmatic “how to” kinds of events with a focus on customer case studies and what works, as well as what’s next. There are other events that focus on the outbound use of social media – for marketing, PR and communications. Our events focus on new ways of working, new business models and and use of digital approaches end to end across the business. We always major on the culture change required to make digital transformation to work in your organisation to add real, measurable value to the bottom line.
