'Inspiring publications': a workshop by the sea, with Julia Goga-Cooke

In Brighton, we'll be exploring how to breathe new life into our respective publications. Everyone is welcome.

AMED stands for sharing transformative ideas and practices for personal, professional and organisational development as widely as possible through publishing our journal e-Organisations and People, and through hosting virtual and face-to-face conversations.

Process
We’ll co-create and exchange fresh ideas about and experiences of publishing and communicating in the digital age.  Issues might include:
o Do 'quality writing and publishing' still have a contribution to make in the Age of the Internet? (We know that, historically, they involve huge amounts of work, and also create huge amounts of satisfaction.)

o Are we sufficiently businesslike in the ways we communicate? What resources do we require to do this effectively?
o As individuals and through AMED, how can we future-proof our various communication and publication projects?

Let's support each other’s publishing projects.  Start sharing your  ideas now.
