What does it take to move from a “support” function to a strategic communication role? Drawing on 13+ years of communication leadership across four countries, Ruxandra-Laura Bosilca challenges how we think about the value of communication in organizations. She’ll explore what it takes to go beyond execution and step into influence: connecting your work to business outcomes, shaping decisions early, and becoming a trusted advisor to senior executives. You’ll walk away with practical, ready-to-use ideas to make your work more visible, more strategic, and more impactful.

London Unfiltered: Volume 4
2026-06-30 18:00 - 20:30 (Europe/London) | Wardian London, Marsh Wall, London, E14 9TP, United Kingdom
Join us for the fourth evening of unfiltered human connection where five people will courageously share a short and simple personal story.
We believe every single human on this earth has endless stories to share with the people they know and the people they don’t. Stories heal, they entertain, they inspire – and most of all, they build a sense of belonging.

Join us for another evening of unfiltered human connection where five people will courageously share a short and simple personal story.
In partnership with AB and IABC EMENA, we’ll be returning to the exclusive 53rd-floor Observatory at Wardian London, Canary Wharf, with spectacular views across London.
You will show up, ready to hear whatever stories come your way. Humour, tragedy, embarrassment, achievement, reflection, simplicity, identity, love… you won’t know until you’re listening to it. Just trust the process and enjoy the ride!
There’s only one rule for the evening: respect every person in the space. We are an inclusive and judgement-free event. All speakers and attendees must feel safe to enjoy the experience.
Now, doesn’t that sound like a real slice of magic to break up your week?
