James Harkness FCIPR, Chair of the CIPR Inside Group
We have lined up a fantastic array of speakers featuring award-winning work – with practical hands-on workshops and thought-provoking plenaries that have all been developed with feedback from previous years’ events in mind. It’s my hope that the conference will present us with plenty of opportunities for a vibrant discussion and help us get down to the fundamental debate about what’s important to the future of our industry.
