EDGEGeneral10yr-logo (2).jpg

 

As part of the #EDGEat10 celebrations, we invite all EDGE Alumni to take part in a special campaign — “#EDGEat10: Voices of a Decade” — celebrating ten years of learning, connection, and excellence. 

How to participate
Post a short LinkedIn video sharing your personal #UnlockingEDGE story — your key takeaways, experiences, or how EDGE has shaped your professional journey — using the hashtag #EDGEat10. 

Introducing #EDGEat10: Voices of a Decade with Nicola McGrane

To open #EDGEat10: Voices of a Decade, Nicola McGrane, IAPCO Training Academy Regional Rep, Europe, invites you in and walks you through how to share. Your voice matters, your story inspires, and together we shape what’s next.

Watch Nicola’s message:

Three EDGE Featured Alumni will be selected and offered a choice of:  

  • Joining EDGE Advanced Dubai 2026, a dedicated programme tailored for senior executives and particularly suited to returning participants.  

The Featured Alumni will receive complimentary seminar passes (travel and accommodation not included).  

The selection process will be conducted jointly by the IAPCO Training Academy and Headquarters teams.

Selection announcement: 20 December 2025 

Selection Process
All submissions will undergo a fair and transparent evaluation conducted jointly by the IAPCO Training Academy and Headquarters teams. The process will include the following stages: 
1. Eligibility Screening 
All submitted videos will be reviewed to ensure they meet the participation criteria — including the use of the hashtag #EDGEat10, tagging @IAPCO, adherence to the two-minute duration limit, and public visibility on LinkedIn. Only eligible videos will advance to the scoring stage. 

2. Quantitative Evaluation 
Engagement metrics will be assessed first. Scores will be normalised based on each participant’s audience size to ensure fairness across all submissions. 

3. Qualitative Evaluation 
A panel composed of representatives from IAPCO HQ and the Training Academy will independently review each eligible video, applying the scoring criteria for Clarity of Message, Connection to Theme. 

4. Combined Scoring and Ranking 
Quantitative and qualitative scores will be combined to produce a total weighted score out of 100 points for each participant. The top three featured alumni will then be identified based on their overall score. 
In the event of a tie, the submission with the higher Engagement Metrics score will be prioritised. 

5. Recognition and Announcement 
The three selected Featured Alumni will be formally recognised through IAPCO’s communication channels and invited to take part in one of the 2026 EDGE programmes — either EDGE Stockholm, EDGE Auckland, or EDGE Advanced Dubai.
