The Cardiff Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Cardiff to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in ‘listen’ not ‘sell’ mode 🙂
We’re meeting back at the lovely Spindogs offices, where we just want to get together, say hello, have a chat, and have a nice time.
Think of this as a community event, where the focus is very much on you meeting other people in a chilled out friendly space. We’ll chat over food and drink, listen to an inspirational speaker or two, chat some more, and go home buzzing with new contacts and new ideas.
Let’s have a lovely night in the company of some amazin’ people.

Speaker: Tegan Male, Senior Accessibility Specialist at Spindogs
Topic: Beyond the buzzword: why accessibility is a brand power move
"Accessibility isn't optional; it's how we include everyone in the digital world."
With 1.3 billion people worldwide living with disabilities, digital accessibility is more than just compliance - it's a chance to create better, more usable experiences for all users, while building trust and loyalty for your brand.
With 7 years of experience in web accessibility, Tegan will take you beyond the buzzword and into the real-world impact of inclusive design. She’ll break down what WCAG actually means, unpack who accessibility really affects (spoiler: it’s everyone), and share practical tools and strategies to help you build accessible experiences from the ground up, turning compliance into a competitive edge for your brand.
You'll walk away with:
- A clear understanding of what WCAG actually is
- Insight into how accessibility strengthens your brand and user experience
- Actionable steps to start your accessibility game
Whether you're new to accessibility or looking to solidify your foundations, this talk is your roadmap to building a web that works for everyone... and looks good doing it!

And finally...
This is a donation ticketed event. The ticket price is yours to choose, from £3 to £30 (the average community members choose to pay £8.79 🙂
We of course understand that these are tough times, so if you are experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford the minimum donation amount, please reach out to el@themarketingmeetup.com and we’ll find a ticket for you (provided capacity hasn't already been reached!) 🙂
Please let your marketing friends and colleagues know about this group too, I hope to build it into a great resource for the community over the coming months and years. Attendance will be taken at this event. If you sign up but don’t show up, this has a knock on effect on event arrangements. If it happens 3 times, you’re outta here! This is simply a measure to allow appropriate respect to the organisers, speakers, sponsors, and your fellow community members 🙂

See you there!
