Intro
Author Rudyard Kipling said that words are the most powerful drug used by mankind. Conversations are the best, biggest thing that web writing has to offer to both writers and readers. In times where AI is coming to replace humans at work, good human writing is more valuable than ever. Web + Words = Impact!
Hi, my name is Manuel, and I am the founder of BigKids, a new content design agency based in Brussels. As a part of our services offer, I am happy to announce the first "Lunch, Connect and Develop" (LCD) on Writing for the Web.
In an LCD, we learn by creating connections among participants, holding discussions, collectively seeing what is emerging in the world of web writing.
In this first lunch, I will walk with you, hand in hand, on a journey towards using words to achieve professional objectives because everybody can learn to write well or, in any case, can improve ones writing skills. So, let's fill up a room with people who want to sharpen their web writing skills!
