ABOUT
READY TO UNLEASH THE REBEL IN YOU?
A BIG, BOLD powerful learning experience awaits you…
CommsRebel is hosting its first-ever hybrid conference, headlined by Rebel Ideas author Matthew Syed and many more incredible speakers. Dare to join us?
‘Unleash Your Inner Rebel’ takes place on Tuesday 14th June, 2022 at etc.venues Manchester, UK and online for those who can't attend in person.
This event is for any Internal Communications, PR, Marketing, HR and Operations practitioners, who want to change the world of work so they can make greater impact.
*SPOILER ALERT* This will not be your typical conference! Get ready to be challenged, in a fun, relaxed environment, plus you’ll have the opportunity to network with people from the Comms, PR, HR and Operations industries.
After what we’ve experienced over the last couple of years, I want to create something that helps light the fire in our bellies again, gives us inspiration, brings excitement and also build a community of like-minded folks so we can continue the conversations beyond the event. It’ll be an event that will help you push the boundaries and give you the support you need to future-proof your skills as a leader.
Over the years I’ve been frustrated at conferences that never had representation on stage. So, for me it was critically important that the speakers were not only representative but also from a range of industries. As much as I love learning from fellow practitioners it’s imperative that we widen our horizons and learn good practice from other areas of business.
