Introduction
#CoimmsChat is the weekly live Twitter chat based out of the UK which brings comms professionals from all over the world together to discuss important industry issues.
It was launched in May 2010 by Adam Vincenzini and Emily Cagle, modelling it upon similar style chats in the United States but staged at a more European friendly time.
The following pages provide you with an overview of #CommsChat, how it works, who’s involved and what is planned for the future.

How #CommsChat works
Hosted by a subject specialist each week
#CommsChat is staged between 8pm-9pm (UK time) every Monday night.
It is hosted by a different subject specialist each week who stimulates discussion amongst the participating community by asking a series of questions.
The questions are shaped for maximum community engagement, encouraging knowledge sharing and genuine debate.
Adam and Emily apply additional moderation and guidance via the @CommsChat Twitter account.
5-8 questions posed to the group over the hour
Positive and constructive atmosphere
