IoIC Festival 2025 IoIC, The Institute of Internal Communication

Check out the IoIC Festival 2025 Line-Up.

You get to choose the content you want to see and hear across our Festival zones: leading-edge thinkers, insight and practical sessions that will help you in your role. There will also be lots of opportunities to get away from the screen to talk and problem-solve with each other, as well as having some fun along the way too.

We’ve also taken on board the 2024 feedback and you can now see what level of practitioner the sessions are aimed at. You can also easily see the main theme of the session - it's the word at the start of the session title, but of course, the sessions may cover more than one theme.

As well as the planned sessions, we will be keeping an eye on the weather forecast and hope to bring you walking meetings (where you can tour the farm whilst networking) and fireside chats beside an actual firepit.
