Lunchtime chat

Description

Comments on social media, such as during the Heritage Chat on Twitter, have highlighted how much people are missing the everyday networking opportunities which have been halted due to lockdown procedures. We know nothing can really beat the cross-organisational networking that happens in the break room, but we are trying to fill that gap.
 

Join us for Lunchtime chat, a digital lunch break, from 12:30 until 13:15. Expand your social network from the comfort of your own home or wherever you are currently located, and perhaps chat with some people on Zoom other than your daily contacts! We will set up a series of break-out rooms for people to join and go from there.
 

CIfA staff will also be joining in on the conversations, so feel free to say hi! Please bear in mind: this is something new we are trying out. If you can think of ways to improve the process, let us know and we will see what we can do! This will be completely free with up to 100 spaces available.

Topics:

• Changes to the planning system
  Join us to discuss recent changes to the various UK (or international!) planning systems as well as CIfA’s policy positions and ongoing advocacy action.
   

• A year on from lockdown
  A casual discussion for all heritage professionals following a year in lockdown - check in with your colleagues and come and say hello! How are you coping working from home or heading back to work, and what is working well for you?
