This year we entered into a new venture with our events app, which has been marked a huge success with take -up being 61% against an average of 48% for first time app users with unique hits over the 2 days reaching 19.2k! With 63.46% of you rating the use of the app as excellent or very good. – “Really loving the new app – it’s bossy and fun!”

The app doesn’t end with conference, so please keep hold of it as we will be using it to promote our latest blog posts and keep you informed with up coming event information. It will also be used during the Northern Forum in October so stay tuned!

We have received such positive feedback when it comes to Conference this year Excellent and Fantastic are just a few words quoted with 63.79% of you rating #PPMAHR18 as excellent or very good and it really means a lot to us that our members and colleagues get the most out of the event and find it valuable and enjoyable…

“Fantastic event thoroughly enjoyed it! The pre-conference event worked really well as allowed introductions to be done on an informal basis which paved the way for the rest of conference”

“This was my first event and I’ve really enjoyed it and found everyone so welcoming. T have found some of the speakers really engaging and inspiring and I feel more motivated to move forward with my career.”

We look forward to taking on board your comments of improvement including experimenting with session formats and including more information about the shortlisted award entries in the lead up to the gala dinner awards evening to ensure next year’s conference is even better and really hope we see you all there.

You can find the full pack of the survey results here.

On the 11th working day before #PPMAHR18 we’re really excited to launch our new PPMA App.

Our very own Amazing Grace has been working on this with the team behind the scenes. Incoming President, Karen Grave tells us “We knew Grace would be a fantastic addition to the team. And she has excelled herself in helping us deliver a new App. We are going to use the App heavily alongside our Website and other social media channels.

PPMA Principal Officers and Grace, in partnership with our digital media Partners Ten Horizon will be introducing a rapid acceleration of our digital marketing strategy. We’ll be talking much more over the coming months about how we are going to use the App – but in the meantime…..

You can find the App on iTunes and Google Play store. If you enter PPMA into the search bar in Google Play store you will set it.

In iTunes make sure you are in the Apps store. If you enter PPMA you will find an iPad and an iPhone App version.

Just follow the instructions after you have downloaded it. You will see all of our conference information uploaded. The App also includes maps of the event sites and the exhibition layout.

Come back for more updates tomorrow.
