VODG Marketing & Communications Professional Network Meeting | December 2025

The next meeting of the Marketing and Communications professional network is now open for booking.

This meeting will focus on issues of compliance, including licensing, privacy and GDPR.

We are delighted to welcome Ian McClintock of Charity Excellence who will be discussing NLA licensing; what is an NLA license, why does an organisation need one, how can we avoid falling foul of inadvertently breaching NLA rules or accidentally infringing a copyright?

We will also be discussing privacy regulations (including in relation to AI), cookies on websites, and the evolving GDPR guidelines related to legitimate interest.

This is set to be an important session for many members, so book your place today.
