What to expect

Jessica Bainbridge combines behavioural science, live psychological demonstrations and mentalism to explore how perception shapes communication and how people respond to messages differently.

A customer-led panel examines how communicators build influence with senior leaders, connect frontline and deskless employees, and work across locations, languages and systems. Speakers share what worked, what did not and lessons from creating a more connected employee experience. The programme also includes lunch and networking drinks.
