The struggle is real

Rapid digital transformation, talent scarcity, new technological advancements, changing consumer behaviour and an ever transforming media landscape. 

Working with digital communications is becoming more complex for each passing year. Add into that the big challenges facing our society like climate change and political turmoil. How do we, as companies address these concerns and take an active role in bringing about positive change? How can communication departments contribute and how do we need to organise to manage digital transformation in a sustainable way?

Let's explore together

An afternoon is a short time to solve all the world's problems, but with the help of a couple of brilliant speakers, panels and discussion groups we want to explore possibilities together with you.  

We have interesting keynotes and inspiring breakout sessions where you can choose your preferred topics. Scroll down for the full agenda below. 

Some of the breakout sessions are limited in capacity so be quick to grab your spot!

Let's unwind together

Following our afternoon sessions we invite you to hang out and mingle, listen to music, have a drink, eat some "snittar" and unwind. Meet new and old colleagues in the communications industry and socialize with your favourite Comprendians

So - what's in it for me?

You will leave with new insights, tools and hopefully new connections. At Comprend we believe in the collective intelligence and that by discussing with our peers we can help each other become smarter and better. 

Register now and be part of the conversation!

The event is held at Comprend Stockholm HQ on Sveavägen 20, 9th floor.
