Had a fabulous few days at @CommsUnplugged, a Comms conference with a lot of differences to all other conferences I’ve attended! I loved it! Thank you to all the organisers and other #CU23 attendees for making it so special!

What another amazing @CommsUnplugged 2023. I was truly inspired by two AWESOME change making women from my day visit. @ElmaGlasgow’s workshop on the impact of inclusive storytelling and @kathykyle_’s keynote on galvanising the power of community @bedigikind!

Would you like to go to Comms Unplugged (the best Comms & wellbeing event of the year) but think you can't afford it? Why not apply for the CU scholarship fund? (Or donate to help your fellow Comms colleagues.)

You could help another #comms person to discover the benefits of unplugging by donating as little as £10 to our fantastic scholarship fund. We're trying to help break down the barriers to attending our lovely event - so bung a tenner in the pot...(2/3) #CU23

Spread the joy! The unmissable comms conference of the year... So many lives and careers have been changed, redirected, enhanced from two days in the field. #CU punches way above it's weight in terms of influence - #CUInTheField?
