CW's overall value covers four main areas
Knowledge Sharing
In the fast-changing tech landscape, there’s no substitute for hearing directly from the people shaping and steering our industry. Not only are we known for sharing the latest ideas, but also challenging debate, helping our members to learn from one another. Our knowledge sharing platforms include events, conferences, the resources library and the popular CW Journal.
Business Connections
Everything is interlinked and no company is an island. So, having a forum where you can easily meet everyone in your ecosystem is a game-changer. Whether they be upstream or downstream of your place in the value chain, making those connections helps build your own powerful network.
Brand Awareness
Great ideas need to be heard loud and clear by the people that matter. CW helps organisations build their public persona. Through CW events, sponsorship and speaking opportunities and online and print editorial opportunities, you can ensure that you build brand awareness by targeting the key individuals really at the heart of the industry.
Talent Acquisition
Now, more than ever, recruiting and retaining top talent is the major strategic factor in whether a knowledge-based company is successful or not.
