Communications Network Day
7 July 2026 11:00 - 15:00
A day of learning, discussion and connection with communications colleagues from across the PlaceShapers network.
The ability to tell your organisation’s place-shaping story clearly, confidently and with impact has never mattered more. Join communications colleagues from across the network for a day to learn, share and explore. It will be held at Phoenix Community Housing in south east London, just ten minutes walk from Beckenham Hill Station.
It's an opportunity to:
- Learn how other organisations are approaching storytelling and engagement
- Exchange communications challenges and ideas with peers
- Expand your connections across the PlaceShapers network
- Reflect on the changing communications landscape and the opportunities ahead
- Enjoy a networking lunch
- Visit an award-winning intergenerational housing scheme, showcased by the BBC, and see community building in practice.
This event is ideal for:
- Communications professionals across the PlaceShapers network
- Communicators who are new to PlaceShapers
- Anyone looking to strengthen peer networks and share ideas
We hope you’ll join us for a thoughtful, practical and inspiring day with communications colleagues as well as the PlaceShapers team and board members.
