Future-gazing, fun and food at a unique conference and party!

Things used to be simpler for the brand marketer. Then ‘digital’ threw a spanner in the works and fundamentally changed the way people engage with advertising and media.

But disruption reveals opportunity for the savvy brand, agency, media owner and tech entrepreneur. Along with other global cities like Tel Aviv, San Francisco and Berlin, London is a hotbed of tech innovation where marketers can mix with a vibrant start-up scene. Together they can re-engage the savvy consumer.

The Next Big Thing Conference will bring together global brands, agencies, publishers, investors and start-ups to examine the current and future impact of disruptive consumer and marketing technology on investment, strategy and planning.

We’ll blast you with precious insight all day and cut through the tech hyperbole in a series of revealing debates, interviews and case studies. We’ll feed you London’s best street food, pour drinks down you and play music from top DJ’s whilst you network with future partners at the Street Food Social.

Then we’ll chuck you out into the night. Tipsy maybe, but with new-found clarity on how a re-think of marketing can future-proof a thriving industry that can keep up with the pace of consumer and technology change.
