One of the UK's pivotal marketing events
Event Update
The Festival of Marketing will take place as a live event on 06.10.2022. The trade fair will occur in Central London, United Kingdom. The host event site will not feature the latest Covid-19 safety measures. This is due to the UK removing its domestic and travel restrictions.
Introduction
Festival of Marketing is heading into its twelfth edition and promises to deliver more hours of high-quality content and networking opportunity. Ever since its launch in 2009, the international trade fair aimed at all fields of marketing has found itself as a natural meeting point for professionals in the industry all over Europe. The focus of the trade show is broad covering areas like marketing and selling, Internet and Intranet, teleworking and teleservices, retail and shopfitting equipment. Festival of Marketing is more content-driven than anything else, so there’s much to enjoy from a stunning line-up of speakers and a support program that features debaters, panels, and workshops. Networking is also going to be supported by a Festival of Marketing app that gives you information about what not to miss and a night program, which helps you build strong connections through a more loose and fun atmosphere.
