October 2024

We’re gaining momentum with our Online Connect series for you.
Our next guest is #1 Communication Coach in the World, Dorie Clarke hosted by Nicholas Bruneau. Be sure to sign up via our events page

You should also take a look at the recording of the webinar recorded with Frank Wolf earlier this month (he’s in my profile photo!). Our in-person City Connect events are also taking shape, coordinated by our previous Chair, Karen Matthews with support from our local members. We’ll be hosting an IABC EMENA City Connect on 7 November in London as a part of the UK&I Turbocharge event— tickets are still available. 

I’m also pleased to announce our Berlin City Connect on 13 November will feature Sigrid Osterrieth, Director of Communications Central Europe at Meta; Christopher Wade, VP of Internal & Employee Engagement Communications at Fresenius Medical Care, and Steffen Türk, Director of Communications at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Germany. 

I look forward to moderating this panel discussion on “What are the comms skills of the future? What should we be upskilling on and what should we be hiring for?” We’re hoping this will lead to the forming of an official IABC community in Berlin. If you know of anyone who might be interested in joining, please connect us.

Don’t forget that new members signing up between October and December this year will receive these months free, after which we’re moving to a January-based annual dues model. 

On behalf of our board and members, I wish you a successful month ahead!
