What's an 'unconference'?
We’ll start the day by co-creating the agenda together. Then you can dive in and out of break-out sessions and high-energy discussions (led and facilitated by experienced global communication experts) on the topics that matter to YOU.
Comms Reboot is your opportunity to connect in-person with a diverse range of people from different organisations, and tap into the expertise and experience of others.
Your ticket also includes breakfast, lunch, and refreshments, and there will be drinks afterwards too!
Come along to connect with others and join the discussions that matter to you.

If you’ve never been to an ‘unconference’ before, here are a few things you can expect from Comms Reboot:
- You’ll get your specific issues and problems solved because you decide the agenda for the day.
- You’ll be able to share your advice with others to help them overcome things you have done before.
- You’ll learn from experts in the profession who are there to facilitate the conversations, but are also on hand to chat to all day.
