ComCo Southeast Asia - IABC CommChat Series

The International Association of Business Communications Philippines (IABC Philippines), an association of top business, industrial and organization communicators and professionals in the country, launches its latest initiative IABC PH CommChat Series, a webinar series that serves as the communicators’ survival guide amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

IABC PH CommChat Series gathers industry-renowned communication professionals to talk about timely and insightful matters especially curated for practitioners and students alike. It also aims to dissect the different ways how communicators can adjust to and survive the quarantine economy or what most call as the “New Normal”. It is free for all and can be viewed live on IABC PH’s official Facebook page.

IABC Philippines appointed ComCo Southeast Asia as the official creative partner for the IABC PH CommChat Series, which was launched in July.

The pilot episode entitled “The Pandemic and the Communicators’ Guide to Surviving Professional and Personal Challenges” sought to answer how student and professional communicators can still be on the right track in pursuing their careers in communications and related disciplines, and how they can take care of themselves and each other during this challenging time.
