LONDON, September 17th, 2010
Melcrum will be holding its 9th Annual Strategic Communication Management Summit at the Millennium Hotel, London, on 12th-13th October 2010.
The Annual summit is the event of the year in internal communications, when professionals from around the world gather both to explore the modern role of internal communicators and celebrate the work and results of pioneering practitioners, who are defining standards and breaking new ground.

It's an annual meeting of minds to share expertise and pave the way forward for a year of measurable business results.‘

The first, ‘What leaders want and value from internal communication: Insight into a successful collaboration at PricewaterhouseCoopers’ will be led by James Chalmers, head of strategy & talent and Brian Bannister, director of communications at PWC.
On day two the keynote session will be ‘The Volvo Way: redefining the corporate culture to drive high performance and high commitment’, led by Charlie Nordblom, vice president, strategic internal communication, Volvo Group.
There will also be a series of practical pre-summit workshops, hands-on, interactive sessions, which allow participants to delve deeply into specific areas of communication, and return to the office with real solutions that can be implemented immediately.
Workshops this year include, ‘Communicating through change”, led by Hilary Scarlett, associate consultant Couravel and Mike Pounsford, managing director, Couravel. And “Leading engagement - equipping leaders to engage staff with strategy”, led by Bill Quirke, managing director, Synopsis Consulting.
