Festival of Marketing

The Festival of Marketing describe themselves as much more than just a conference. They pride themselves on the immersive marketing experience they provide at their events. Whilst other events focus on the exhibition side of their shows, the Festival of Marketing emphasises the learning and insights that can be taken away from their events.

In 2019, event attendees were able to take in insights from the leading professionals in the worlds of Facebook, Made.com, Econsultancy, and Marketing Week. On just the first day of the event, attendees could choose from 71 talks and workshops, covering topics such as branding, customer experience, content, data, leadership and social.

They have also recently announced that the usual free event, Marketing Week Live, will be joining Festival of Marketing to create a bigger show in 2020. As a result, Marketing Week Live will no longer be a stand-alone event.

The Festival of Marketing does come with a hefty price tag, but those that have attended say the quality of the show is fantastic. If you are a young marketer (25 or under) you get a nice 50% discount off the full price show. They also seem to be doing a special rate for past attendees of MWLive. Drop them a message to see if you could be eligible.

Date: 7th - 8th October 2020
Location: Tobacco Dock, London
Cost: Prices start at £495 for a two-day Young Marketer Pass
