1 Comment on [SPEAKER] Digital & Social Panel Discussion for @StrongerNetwork Conference

Yesterday I took part in this (50 minute) session, chaired by Matt Hogg, and in discussion with Emma Sijuwade and Igor Demba. The session was advertised as:

Hear from experts about how the digital landscape has changed over the last year and how as individuals and organisations we can make the most of the opportunity to connect with our client base, customers, or community for the Kingdom of God. Don’t miss a great discussion with thinkers and practitioners who will be able to us us level up our digital game.

You can watch the recording back here – an enjoyable chat, or look out for other future/past sessions at the conference.

*Decided it was a day to get out the pricey NHS wig – what you (hopefully) can’t tell is that about halfway through, the nausea started to roll in, and the wig started to feel really tight!

I ask people a lot to think about what the fruits of the spirit look like online, so was happy to see Chris Goswami pick up on this:

No Comments on [EVENT] #DigitalLabs Conference by @ChurchOfEngland

The last couple of days have really made my brain work… but I’ve really enjoyed the mix of sessions (strategic and practical), and been able to listen to a number of them whilst doing other bits and bobs, whilst capturing some of them for Twitter! It’s encouraging to se how much the Church of England digital work has moved forward over the last few years (I used to run training sessions at Church House, London, especially on ‘Social Media for the Scared’, and always felt more was needed).

I found the Whova app really straightforward to use (I’ve only used one other online conference platform – Hopin)… although of course there will have been work put into thinking how to use this well. I used a mix of the web platform and the mobile platform – and aside from having to manually connect to the audio for each session – it was easy to find each session in the agenda, and connect to the associated Zoom. I can look back at each session and see the Q&A and chats that happened down the side, though I never quite made it to the community chats (which looked very busy). Delegates could contact each other, upload photos, comment/enage (and there was a competition with scores for those who engaged the most) – and the slides were available at the end of the event – plus a few other bits of functionality.
