Intense but worth it. If you seize the opportunity to engage, you can achieve loads in a short time. Great access to normally "well protected" individuals.

A fantastic opportunity to explore new possibilities through debate and discussion in seminars and with Suppliers. Exhausting yet energising - an essential 2 days in any marketers diary who really want to improve their brand proposition and delivery.

An intense, productive, enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to expand their learning and to meet great people with great things to offer. Burning the candle at both ends is not often so productive!

Efficiently run, good quality delegates this is our first time but we will definitely be back.

I came with a specific brief and was able to get six companies to agree to pitch - all done quickly and easily.
Belinda Keheyan, Head of Corporate Communications

Very informative, pleasurable and like being on a training course but with very directly relevant Suppliers who can solve business issues not just inform.
Ed Aspel, Head of Marketing

Excellent! The calibre and seniority of delegates was very high and allowed us access to contacts we would never have been able to get in front of.

We are really chuffed about the ‘innocent’ win. And although we did have a contact point prior to the forum you can say that the chance for Charlotte and I to meet was very significant in us winning the business.

A totally unique format & excellent way to make new contacts. This will probably be the most effective use of the marketing budget this year.

The Marketing Forum was the single most important tool I used when making my agency decisions last year. I am looking to find those cutting edge agencies again that can help drive my business forward. Add to that the thought provoking seminar schedule, plus a great atmosphere to do business in and you have THE must attend marketing event of the year. I even made a vital business connection over bacon and egg last year!

It woke me up to what is going on in the real world. I was clear/ruthless about who I wanted to see and what business solutions I wanted to get out of this. It enabled me to see who was a good personality hit. I found all the keynote speeches thought provoking.

It's excellent to have the opportunity to step out of the work environment and meet potential Suppliers in a focused environment.
Neil English, Head of Direct Marketing

As usual a completely professional and faultless organisation. Concentrated opportunities to see agencies and meet peers - well worth the time!

The Marketing Forum provides a great opportunity to network and discuss business issues with other marketing professional's. The experience has proven to be invaluable and I've now got some great contacts who I'm going to be working with in the future. I will definitely be booking to go next year!

Excellent focused use of time. Great to meet interesting small businesses. Too buy to see new/potential Suppliers normally, perhaps, the only way in via the Forum.

Well run, access to people we wouldn't easily meet normally.
