Where ideas flow as freely as the drinks.

Wind down after a packed day with relaxed, topic-led discussion roundtables designed to blend learning and networking.

Each table will focus on a specific theme – focused on a mix of topical, strategic & practical execution questions - and will be lightly moderated to encourage free-flowing, participant-led conversation. No presentations. No slides. Just marketers talking shop.

Enjoy a relaxing drink with your fellow delegates, whilst choosing the roundtable topics that interest you the most.
