CN MASTERCLASS · INTERNAL COMMS EVENTS

The half-day clinic for corporate internal events professionals

10 July 2026  ·  The Minster Building, London

Hosted delegate places are free for qualifying in-house event professionals. In exchange, delegates commit to attending a small number of pre-arranged supplier meetings on the day β€” scheduled around their genuine, stated requirements.

How the meetings work

  • When you apply, you'll tell us about your upcoming events and which services or suppliers you're actively looking for.

  • We match you with relevant suppliers from the sponsor pool β€” only categories that align with your actual requirements.

  • Your meeting schedule is confirmed ahead of the event β€” typically four 10-minute one-to-one meetings, built into your personal schedule.

ABOUT THIS EDITION
Internal communications events are some of the most scrutinised in corporate life β€” high stakeholder expectations, tight budgets, limited dedicated resource, and the constant pressure to prove that what happens in the room actually lands with employees.

This edition of the CN Masterclass brings together the people who run these events β€” town halls, all-hands, leadership offsites, company away days, employee awards and internal product launches β€” for a focused half-day of practical content, honest peer discussion, and pre-arranged supplier meetings. Everything under Chatham House rules.

DO YOU QUALIFY?

The CN Masterclass is a small, invitation-style event β€” deliberately limited to 25 delegates per edition. Every place is qualified to ensure the room is made up exclusively of active buyers: people with real briefs, real budgets and decisions to make in the near term. That's what makes the peer discussion valuable, and what makes the supplier meetings worth attending.

Corporate event professional or internal comms lead
You work in-house, managing or overseeing the delivery of events on behalf of your organisation β€” not as an agency or third-party supplier.

Decision-maker or budget holder for internal events
You have direct influence over how event budgets are spent and which suppliers are appointed β€” not someone who attends events but doesn't commission them.

Responsible for planning or delivering internal events
Your role involves hands-on planning β€” briefing suppliers, managing logistics, or overseeing delivery of town halls, offsites, all-hands or employee events.

Planning an internal event in the next 12–18 months
You have a live or upcoming brief. The supplier meetings are structured around active requirements β€” so delegates need to be in genuine planning mode, not just exploring.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Keynote & fireside

Workshop
A closed, Chatham House session where delegates work through a shared challenge. Honest, off-the-record and peer-led.

Pre-arranged supplier meetings
Pre-qualified one-to-ones with suppliers matched to your brief β€” scheduled in advance so there's no cold networking on the day.

A summary of the day's key insights and takeaways, sent to all attendees within two weeks of the event.
