A comms challenge ... recruiting participants for a research project with "a bit of a yuck factor" - were Andrew Stronach and the team up to it? #CIPREAComms23

A panel of industry experts, all #CIPRChartered are ready to explain to the room the value that being chartered brings #CIPREAconf23 #EA75

. Steve Shepperson-Smith speaks about 'what next after chartership' - telling delegates at #CIPREAconf23 about the new board training Chartered Institute of Public Relations has recently launched. Reminder of the value having comms people as trustees and diversity of thought, ages and backgrounds. #EA75

And here's the cake... which will keep Steve Shepperson-Smith happy as he's going to be able to cut this one! #CIPREAConf23 #CIPR75

What a brilliant conference by CIPR East Anglia today! 🎈 🎉 My amazing colleagues organised a wonderful event, in person, for the first time since 2019, and 75 people joined us to hear from amazing speakers. Hosted The Mix Stowmarket youth work charity which was perfect for us.

🪽Happy birthday to my Angel Amelie. 👼 You would’ve been 32 today. Hoping you’re having a party up somewhere high like Zermatt in the Swiss mountains.

What a night. What a show. What a time to be alive. And that little teaser for next week... Howard's custard part two. We can't wait. See you next week, you lot. #GBBO

What is it with #GBBO making everything right in the world 🍰

Myth: With trans+ friendly campaigns, if you get the comms right, all will agree. Fact: If your organisation takes inclusion, diversity and equity seriously some ppl will feel threatened and object. How can you help your org navigate thru the noise: cipr.co.uk/CIPR/Events/Ev…

No planes (that we know of) but definitely trains and automobiles! The East Anglia committee and conference delegates are heading towards The Plaza, Braintree this morning for The Future Now: AI's impact on PR practices. Let us know if you're flying in!

Great to be welcoming people to our annual conference, The Future is Now: Ai's impact on PR practice! Lots of delegates arriving, lots of humans chatting AI and plenty of new connections and catching up with familiar faces. Kelly Q-H Joanna March Claire Halliwell

"I'm going to use today to find my entry point" from Rachael Clamp CIPR President who is chairing today's event. Great to hear Rachael's honesty and openness to learning - reflected across the room.

Kay take aways from the morning from Rachael Clamp: AI to assist and support, not replace. Be able to do our jobs better. Reduce hours and stress. Rubbish in, rubbish out. Trust and healthy scepticism. Be mindful of our own value, particularly IP. #EAConf24 #FutureNow

What a fantastic workshop scenario session exploring prompts and how AI can help us in a real-life situations. #EAConf24 #FutureNow
