The Milton Keynes Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Milton Keynes to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂
We're back at the awesome MK:U Innovation Hub for this one. 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: David Patrykowski, Director at Backona Analytics
Topic: Stop wrestling with spreadsheets and start having conversations with your data
Your marketing data holds every answer you've been seeking – customer patterns, untapped opportunities, campaign insights.
The problem? Most marketers are stuck translating numbers instead of acting on intelligence.
Join us for this session to discover:
- The hidden stories your data is telling – behaviours and opportunities hiding in plain sight
- Why numbers without narrative fail – transforming data into actionable insights
- Conversational analytics in action – chat with your data like a trusted advisor
- Practical decision-making strategies – regardless of technical background
David doesn't just talk about data – he helps build the tools that make it accessible.
Reshaping how marketers interact with their intelligence through conversational AI analytics and data visualisation.
Perfect for marketing professionals drowning in data but starved of insights, and business owners ready to move beyond gut instinct to data-driven decisions.
Your data has been waiting to share its secrets. Time to start the conversation.
Fun fact: When David's not revolutionising data analytics, you'll find him plotting chess moves, perfecting skateboard tricks, or bouldering – strategic thinking clearly extends beyond spreadsheets 😊

And finally...
This is a donation ticketed event. The entry price is yours to choose, from £3 to £30 (the average attendees 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!
