Agenda 2:00 PMWelcome!We’ll kick off at 2pm with a short welcome from organiser Emily Malone.2:10 PM‘Elevating to Expert: Building eLearning to grow your brand’ — Rebena SangheraAre you networking enough? Have you embedded SEO into your LinkedIn? All of that and more? More importantly, amongst all the noise, where can the key people perceive the value only you can bring? This talk focuses on how building eLearning products can aid your professional visibility and make your authentic self known to others. We’ll introduce a simple brand model for eLearning and review what it means to encapsulate your expertise and how through the creation of eLearning products, others can experience and see your value — even when you’re not there.2:40 PM ‘Driving Diversity & Success By Reframing Failure’ — Arianne Donoghue One of the (many) issues facing us in digital right now is a lack of diversity, including gender where recent stats estimate that only 26% of people working in our industry are women. Something that might be holding women back is a fear of failure and taking risks. In this session, Arianne will talk about how we should not be scared of failure, and why we should embrace it, using her own history of epic fails as a backdrop. She’ll also give actionable tips and advice to women who are early in their careers — about things they can do to gain confidence, build their networks and make their voices heard. 3:10 PMBreakTea, coffee, and Doughnotts!3:30 PM ‘Cut the Crap’ — Jo Milton When life just gets busier and more hectic, let’s look at the ways to prioritise, organise and ultimately make ourselves more efficient. We only get to live life once so nail everything. Make your work efficient and productive and enjoy your free time/ family time. Let’s look at ways we can make this happen. All this from the perspective of someone who runs four companies, has recently become a mother and just finished an 18 month home rebuild. 4:00 PM‘From Start Up to Scale Up: My Entrepreneurial Journey’ — Susan HallamJoin Susan Hallam for a conversation where she explores her entrepreneurial journey from a business Start-Up to one of the UK’s leading high growth Scale-Up digital marketing agencies. With over 30 years’ experience in the digital marketing arena, Susan started Hallam nearly 20 years ago. In that time a great deal has changed, and Susan will share with us her entrepreneur’s journey — the highs, the lows and some lessons learned along the path to building one of the UK’s most successful digital marketing agencies. Susan and her team at Hallam have an enviable reputation for remaining at the forefront of a constantly changing industry and Susan will also offer some insight to future market developments before a Q&A discussion with the audience.4:30 PMGiveaway, buffet food and drink!We’ll be doing a giveaway — Prize TBC.
