This was an excellent opportunity for communicators in TnT to meet key media personnel one on one. They were able to ask all the questions that they have been longing to ask and were happy to receive the answers. There were some controvertial moments but it was all good as it encouraged participation and opinion sharing.
It was thoroughly enjoyable and everyone who attended are still speaking highly of it. This is the first major event held by iabctt and without fear of people saying that I am blowing my own trumpet, I must admit it was well done.
As the new year is upon us, it is important to remember that communication in all forms and fashion, is the key to success!
Why not join this dynamic association - IABC and expand your horizon in the world of communications.
