What We Learned From Strategic Internal Communications Boston

Mid-July, a few of our LumApps Sales headed over to Boston to attend the 5th Annual Strategic Internal Communications conference, hosted by the Advanced Learning Institute. The event’s friendly scope was the perfect opportunity to retrieve direct feedback about what companies want in a digital workplace.

Held in the Omni Parker House in Boston on July 17-19, the Strategic Internal Communications was the perfect place for internal communication experts to meet and exchange ideas.

The conference was attended by passionate professionals who were very engaged in the speaker sessions, and looking for ways to improve the way they communicate internally.

Thanks to a no-pressure environment, discussions flowed easy and LumApps made around a hundred contacts. Our team saw genuine interest from attendees and enjoyed starting real conversations with enterprise deciders about their expectations and aspirations for communication solutions.

Here’s what they had to say.

After hearing from LumApps, attendees were excited about the possibilities for a new digital workplace! So they shared their common pain points with us.

Here’s what internal communication experts wish they could implement:

  • Better ways to connect all departments
  • More ways to enhance email usage
  • The same communication tool for all departments
  • Not only top-down communications, but also cross-department information flow
  • Breaking down silos
  • More interactive content like videos
  • More information on mobile devices
  • Analytics
  • Gamification

This year at LumApps we are intent on opening up our scope of events to attend more general technology events, bringing together vendors and professionals curious about digital workplaces cloud solutions, and community or productivity tools.
