Joe Salmon FIIC’s Post

T H A N K Y O U I planned to write an update with the key themes from the #IoICFestival24. Check out the posts from Jennifer & Suzanne they capture it all and summarise it much better than I can! Instead, I want to use this opportunity to thank Rebecca and the Institute of Internal Communication team for inviting me to co-host such a brilliant event. And for trusting me to interview and moderate conversations with our amazing line-up of keynotes, panellists, and guest speakers. Love working with you all. Looking forward to our next BIG THING, the launch of the IC Index 2024, later this month.

L O V E T H I S P L A C E ... My new home for the next couple of days! All checked in with Rebecca, Jennifer, and the Institute of Internal Communication team. Ready to kick off Day 1 of the #IoICFestival24. It's time to connect, learn, and be inspired. Can't wait to see you all in a few hours.

T H R O W B A C K Grabbing a selfie on stage with Jennifer Sproul, CEO Institute of Internal Communication, at the IoIC Festival 2023! Looking forward to being back this year co-hosting the 'Inspiration Zone' alongside Jennifer and Suzanne. And thrilled to also be chairing a panel discussion based on the 'Creating Sustainable Futures for Internal Communicators' report. It's going to be a great event in Tewinbury on 12 & 13 June. Don't miss out! You can see the full line-up and book your pass here: https://lnkd.in/eWKXkaEC #IoICFestival24 Will you be there? I'm excited to catch up with IoIC members and Comms Pros face to face. I love the festival vibe!

CONGRATS Addea A., Jody Lewis, and Shalini Gupta, welcome to the Institute of Internal Communication Board. Glad to have you on the team. Looking forward to catching up with you all soon.

ARE YOU USING AI TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE? I'm looking forward to joining Kademy's Comms Leader Roundtable tomorrow - to be part of the conversation on Communication Pros & Teams using GenAI. My thoughts. We've been hearing a lot about AI for a while now, and it's not going away. So let's embrace it.

F U T U R E F O C U S E D Sunday morning vibes. Looking forward to spending next week with 200 of our Iron Mountain leaders. Excited for the week ahead on the back of our record Q1 Results, as we continue to build momentum on our growth journey. Paige, Amy, Dominique, and Neil see you later.

P R O U D D A D I tell my son daily: "You're a KING. You can do anything you put your mind to." He decided to try some fitness modelling while he puts the finishing touches to his own business venture launching soon (more on that later). Long story short... he's now one of the faces of Sport Direct's latest FOR EVERY RUN campaign, appearing on their videos, websites, and in store promotional ads. (He's wearing the blue t-shirt in these pics below) Proud and excited to see what he does next. #KeepShining #Family #MyHeart #LoveHim
