We’ve just got back from #IFC2023 in Holland.
And what better way to mark a week of inspiration, challenge, debate and growth than a series of poorly framed photos taken on a mobile phone?
We arrived thinking we were going to have a relaxing experience this year because we weren’t speaking. But ended up covering for an unwell colleague in three sessions.
First was two back to back sessions on 'Diversifying your digital channels' with the EPIC Chloe Lawson from Electica who between sessions was powering the UK Labour Party's digital ads for the by-elections (that they won!).
Second session was in Engaging Networks's Digital Mobilisation session with Paul Hayward - the Friday AM early slot - we think ( 📣 ) we woke a few people up.
I was also helping in the PHENOMENAL 'What's Next for Digital Mobilisation' session from the dynamic duo that is Berry Cochrane & Gráinne Callan.
Other sessions full of inspo were Seth Piper's brilliant insight into Green Politics, Matt Derby's session on Digital Power Building, Nick Scott & Kaz McGrath's AI session. And the energy from Aida Vinyes & Ariane Basaguren's Creative & Content session will live with me for months... (these two woman from Spain presenting an interactive session in a second language should be a warning to all the old farts).
And the opening and closing plenaries were perfect. Big love to everyone we met, new friends, old friends, hope you all got home safely, are reflecting on an INCREDIBLE week of inspiration and are fired up for the challenges we all face.
Onwards. ✊🏻🔥
