It’s a ‘no’ from me
The world has changed since the height of the pandemic. How people feel about conferences has changed. The costs involved with real-life conferences have changed.
In-person events are really valuable, but for a sub-200 person event like Intranet Now it’s hard to align all the involved parties in 2024.
If you want a conference in 2025, focused on digital internal communications, the intranet within the digital workplace, and employee experience, contact me on LinkedIn.

Networking without the pain
Here’s the worst kept secret; Intranet Now is hand-made by Wedge and Lisa. That’s us. It’s just us.
We’re intranet / communications consultants who just think that ‘digital workplace’ people (whatever that means) need a place to meet and swap horror stories and successes. We all have different experiences to share, as we learn what works and what really doesn’t.
Intranet Now is for community and conversation, enquiry and investigation, while invited luminaries shine a light on the topics that matter to organisations of every size.
Lisa on the left, with Wedge in the middle, with our fantastic peers, James Robertson, Steve Bynghall, and Rahel Bailie, at Autumn Intranet Now 2018.
We’ll be talking all things strategy, looking at how the intranet can be at the heart of the strategic digital workplace. We’ll be discussing the tools and tactics needed to align your intranet with your organisation’s strategy — and how your digital workplace helps people work better, and be better.

Lisa
I’m an intranet wrangler, content designer and general comms and collaboration geek – an intranerd, if you will.
I work with some of the world’s largest organisations to improve the way they communicate – to their employees, customers, service users and other stakeholders.
I create punchy, accessible content that makes information easier to understand.
I work alongside developers, communicators and content people to deliver better digital workplaces.
I love bringing people together to help solve their technical challenges and meet others going through the same experiences – which is why I love being a director of Intranet Now.

Wedge
I founded the Intranet Now conference in 2014, and I’m an intranet and comms consultant by day.
Since my time as a ‘corporate journalist’ and intranet manager back for a global tech company, I’ve been deeply entrenched in the intranet world.
I’ve helped plan and launch over 25 intranets, and helped dozens of organisations of every size improve their digital communications and collaboration.
