Thank you for coming to The Big Yak

We came. We saw. We yakked about comms.

Thank you to everyone who attended yesterday’s The Big Yak, we had a brilliant day and enjoyed seeing you all having fun, networking and learning about internal communication.

We were joined by 160 internal communication professionals and thanks to our 21 sponsors and facilitator Benjamin Ellis, were able to enjoy a whole day together.
