The Big Yak

 

The Big Yak is our unconference for communicators. It’s something rather special and we’re proud of it.

The Big Yak unconference from The IC Crowd connects in-house and independent communicators face-to-face so they can learn and network. To yak is a colloquial way of saying to talk.

It has been designed by and for professional communicators. The venue for 2020 is etc. venues in Chancery Lane, London.

This will be the fifth time The Big Yak has taken place, as we gathered comms pros in 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2018.

 

 

Here’s a glimpse of previous conversations at The Big Yak.
