SUMMARY:Start With Discovery: How to find out what’s actually wrong with your comms
DESCRIPTION:Before you change the channel\, change the platform or commission another piece of content\, find out what problem you are actually trying to solve. \nWebinar: Start With Discovery: How to find out what’s actually wrong with your comms\nSpeakers: Sharon O’Dea and Jonathan Phillips\nDate & time: Wednesday\, 26 August 2026 · 13:00 CEST / 12:00 BST\nFormat: Online\nWho can attend: Open to all IABC members\nRegister: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/aQyjMvK4LD \nEngagement is down\, so perhaps it’s time for a new intranet. The newsletter isn’t being read\, so video might work better. Employees say there is too much communication\, so the answer must be fewer messages. \nThese may all be reasonable ideas. But they are still solutions — and they often arrive before anyone has established what is actually going wrong. \nDiscovery is the work that comes first. \nIt helps communication teams understand where communication is failing\, why it is happening and who is affected. Instead of working from assumptions or a general feeling that “comms isn’t working”\, discovery gives you evidence to make better decisions about where to spend time\, attention and budget. \nIn this IABC EMENA webinar\, Sharon O’Dea and Jonathan Phillips\, co-founders of Lithos Partners and co-authors of Digital Communications at Work\, will show what useful discovery looks like in practice. \nDrawing on their work with organisations and the discovery approach explored in their book\, they will look at how to investigate communication problems without turning the process into a lengthy research project — and how to translate what you learn into a case senior stakeholders can understand and support. \nWhat we’ll cover \n\nHow to distinguish the visible symptom from the underlying communication problem\nDiscovery techniques that help surface real issues rather than confirm existing assumptions\nWhat useful discovery can look like when time and budget are limited\nHow to identify where communication is breaking down — and for whom\nHow to turn evidence into recommendations and a credible case for investment\nHow to keep the conversation focused on outcomes rather than simply producing more outputs\n\nAbout the speakers \nSharon O’Dea\nDigital Communications Strategist · Co-founder\, Lithos Partners\nIABC EMENA Board Director\, Professional Development \nJonathan Phillips\nDigital Workplace Strategist · Co-founder\, Lithos Partners \nSharon and Jonathan are the co-authors of Digital Communications at Work: Designing Channels for Employee Engagement and Experience (Kogan Page\, 2026). \nIf you work in internal communication\, employee experience or digital workplace — particularly if you are reviewing channels\, planning a new platform or trying to understand why existing communication isn’t delivering the results you need — this session will give you a practical place to start. \nWednesday\, 26 August 2026\n13:00 CEST / 12:00 BST\nOnline \nThe webinar is open to all IABC members. \nRegister for the webinar: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/aQyjMvK4LD

SUMMARY:London Unfiltered: Volume 5
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nJoin us for the fifth evening of unfiltered human connection where five people will courageously share a short and simple personal story. \nEvery 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. \nJoin us for another evening of unfiltered human connection where five people will courageously share a short and simple personal story. \nIn 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. \nYou 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! \nThere’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. \nNow\, doesn’t that sound like a real slice of magic to break up your week? \nImportant Ticket Information\n*Please note there are no refunds on tickets to this event\, but they are transferrable. \n**Ticket price includes five great stories\, networking with interesting people\, one drink (craft beer\, glass of house white/red wine\, or soft drink)\, a selection of snacks – and phenomenal views of the city\, usually only enjoyed by residents of Wardian! \nAgenda\n06:00 PM – 06:30 PM: Arrival and welcome drink \n06:30 PM – 07:00 PM Our five speakers share their stories \n07:00 PM – 08:30 PM Networking and nibbles! Stick around to chat with fellow attendees. \nFrequently Asked Questions\nIs there parking available? \nThere is no parking available at Wardian\, but there are car parks around Canary Wharf. Be warned\, though\, that parking can be rather expensive! Your best bet is to stick to public transport\, where you’re spoiled for choice with the Jubilee line\, Elizabeth line\, DLR\, Uber Boats\, buses\, and taxis. \nIs the venue accessible? \nYes! The venue is fully accessible and accessible toilets are available in the Observatory. There are lifts up to the 53rd floor (perhaps unsurprisingly!) and everything is on one level. If you have an accessibility concern\, please don’t hesitate to contact Simon Cavendish at simon@simonmonger.com. \nDo you make a profit on the event? \nThe short answer? No. We make minimal profit on London Unfiltered and the ticket price is simply to cover the venue hire costs.

SUMMARY:Berlin Unfiltered: Volume 1
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first evening of unfiltered human connection where five people will courageously share a short and simple personal story. \nOn 23 September\, Unfiltered comes to Berlin for the first time. \nFive speakers will each have five minutes to tell one personal story. The stories will not be announced in advance\, and they will not be professional talks\, company case studies or polished career lessons. \nThey may be funny\, uncomfortable\, surprising\, tender or completely unexpected. The only certainty is that each one belongs to the person telling it. \nUnfiltered began in Perth and has since reached cities including London\, Sydney\, Cape Town and Chicago. The Berlin edition is presented by IABC EMENA and hosted in person by Unfiltered founder Shil Shanghavi\, Head of Speaker Coaching at TEDxPerth. \nThe event is designed for a small\, international audience\, with many guests coming from communications\, PR\, employer branding\, internal communications\, brand\, marketing and people-related roles. It is a chance to meet the people behind the job titles and hear the kinds of stories that rarely make it onto a professional stage. \nBerlin Volume 1 will take place at Art City People\, a café and creative space in central Berlin. With space for around 40 guests\, the evening will stay close\, relaxed and easy to join. \nYour ticket includes\n\nFive personal stories\nOne welcome drink\, including wine\, beer or a soft drink\nLight snacks\nTime to meet the speakers and other guests afterwards\n\nEvent details\nDate: Wednesday\, 23 September 2026\nTime: 18:00–20:00\nWhere: Art City People Café\, Gallery & Creative Space\nOranienburger Straße 32\, 10117 Berlin\nLanguage: English \nTicket: €25 \nUnfiltered is built on trust and respect. We ask everyone in the room to listen openly and treat each speaker’s story with care. \nTickets are non-refundable but may be transferred to another person. \nGo to Eventbrite \nAgenda\n06:00 PM–06:30 PM\nArrival and welcome drink \n06:30 PM–07:00 PM\nOur five speakers share their stories \n07:00 PM–08:00 PM\nNetworking and nibbles! Stick around to chat with fellow attendees. \nFrequently asked questions\nIs there parking available? \nArt City People does not have dedicated event parking. Paid street parking and car parks are available in the surrounding area\, but spaces in central Berlin can be limited. We recommend using public transport; the venue is close to S Oranienburger Straße and nearby tram connections. \nIs the venue accessible? \nWe are currently confirming the venue’s full accessibility details\, including step-free access and accessible toilets.

No. We make minimal profit on Berlin Unfiltered and the ticket price is simply to cover the venue hire costs. If the final number of guests leaves a small surplus\, it will support future IABC EMENA community events.
