WISH North East Winter News 2024

As we reflect on the final months of this year, we’re thrilled to celebrate the success of four fantastic in-person events. From insightful summits to festive gatherings, our community has come together to share knowledge, learn, and connect in truly meaningful ways.

A Standout September: Data Summit
We kicked things off in September with a superb Data Summit held at the beautiful Home Group offices, One Strawberry Lane. This event, made possible thanks to our generous sponsors Salesforce, Mobysoft, and Voicescape, brought together industry professionals for a day of learning and collaboration. The summit set a high bar for the remainder of the year.

Leading with Confidence – Our First Breakfast Event
In October, we launched our very first breakfast event, Leading with Confidence, sponsored by Believe Housing and hosted at their Seaham offices. Attendees were inspired by keynote speaker Christina Gates, whose insights resonated strongly, earning us fantastic feedback. Given its success, we’re excited to confirm this will not be our last breakfast event!

November Focus: Self-Awareness and Personal Impact
November saw us gather at Sunderland City Hall for an engaging event on Self-Awareness. A highlight of the day was the fireside chat with Emily Cox, which sparked thoughtful conversation and reflection. The session, expertly facilitated by John Emmerson from Jemco Consultancy, encouraged participants to consider their personal impact in professional settings.

Festive Cheer at Our Christmas Celebration
To round off the year, we hosted a wonderful Christmas celebration in partnership with the CIH. Despite stormy weather, we were delighted to see so many colleagues join us for a fun and festive evening full of good cheer and networking.

Looking Ahead: January Wellbeing Event
We’re already looking forward to welcoming everyone back in the New Year. Mark your calendars for our Wellbeing Event on 20th January – it promises to be the perfect way to start 2025 with a focus on health, balance, and renewed energy.

Thank you to all our sponsors, speakers, and attendees for making this year so impactful. Here’s to even more opportunities to learn, connect, and grow in 2025!
