Come along to join a group of us in an informal, yet highly purposeful and profound conversation, in a rare opportunity with a visiting UK comms expert who is sharing with us the ‘Dublin Conversations’ - at 4 pm on Tuesday January 7th at Deakin Downtown.

Come away with greater confidence, some high-quality, easy-to-use tools and a greater sense of purpose in your work in the year ahead.

  • ·The ‘Comms Canvas’ that instantly transforms your thinking to address any campaign, strategy or pitch and provides you with a growing range of practical tools to enable you to think bigger and more effectively

In an inspiring, engaging and entertaining session he will take you on a virtual trip to Dublin, revealing the 5 Simple Rules that shape all communications practice - and how you can use them. 

  • How you can think bigger than ‘communications’ or ‘behaviour change’ to better future-proof your career. 
  • How you can harness the latest in behavioural psychology, economics, social anthropology and more to achieve better results, realise more impact and give new meaning to your work.
  • Discover how media relations peaked in 2004. 

What is the Dublin Conversations?

The Dublin Conversations tackles the big issue facing the communications industries in our post-digital age: the need to transform how we think and how we do things - and provide our society with better ways to overcome distrust, disrespect and division.

An authentic, independent, non-commercial, crowdfunded, grassroots year-long project, the Dublin Conversations is nurturing a growing community, spanning practice and academia, avoiding a top-down approach of being owned by somebody. It uses purposeful conversations, co-creation and co-production to develop new ideas, processes, strategies and tools.

During 2020 it is freely sharing its Comms Canvas tool and ‘5 Steps to Dublin’ changemaker tool, launching each month a new tool to create a ‘Journey from Dublin’ toolkit, have over 231 open-to-anyone conversations around the globe with practitioners and academics, across all ages, areas of communications practice and beyond - including you - with events in Australia, Ireland, UK and elsewhere

What’s the Big Idea about the Dublin Conversations?

#1. It’s creating profound bottom-up led change for the communications industries that’s not owned by anyone and is available to everyone. #2. Creates a bigger lens to enable profound new ideas to overcome ‘silo thinking’ #3. Enables the communications industries to evolve faster, more purposefully, with greater confidence. #4. Can be used immediately. Try the new ‘Comms Canvas’ now! Supported by a framework of new theory and tools #5. Democratises evolution - enables the small players to stay ahead. It provides wider society with new tools to tackle growing distrust, disrespect and division.
