🔥 Why Campfire Stories?
We’ve asked our speakers to frame their talks in a real life story or a situation from their career, so they can illuminate the lessons and frameworks that helped them to succeed, or would have been useful to know at the time.
💕 The spirit of the day
We aim to create a sincere, practical event where you feel valued and informed. Last year’s event received an amazing NPS of 98 – we hope to make you all super happy again 🙂
💡 You’ll leave with…
You’ll leave with practical, real-world marketing knowledge to become an even better marketing person. Hopefully, with some more friends and peers to help you along that journey, too.
🎙️ What the day looks like
Campfire Stories has only one stage, creating a shared experience for everyone in attendance. Talks are 20 – 30 minutes long, and aim to leave you both inspired and informed.
We know how it feels to be scared by networking, so we do our best to create a safe, welcoming environment for you to walk into with plenty of chances to say hello to everyone and time to take a moment away from the bustle when you need to.
💡 New to 2026 – The Afterglow..
In 2026, we’ll be adding ‘The Afterglow’ – a relaxed opportunity to decompress and network after the conference before heading back out into London.

FAQs
Because we love hearing from ya, but might as well save you some time 😉😉
Who attends? Will I be welcome?
The Marketing Meetup community is made up, most typically, of humans who happen to work in marketing.
Rather than seniority, the thing that unites our community is a curiosity for continued learning, and a shared ethos of valuing one another.
The thing we value the most is how you show up for others in the community – so even if you don’t think of yourself as a marketer, you are welcome so long as you embody the spirit of being positively lovely.
Where is the event taking place?
The event is taking place at Church House, Westminster, London.
When will the event take place?
19th March, 2026.
Is there a dress code?
No. Come as you feel comfortable. Obviously *in* clothes, but that aside… 🙂
Will food and refreshments be provided?
Yes. Lunch will be provided as well as teas, coffees and drinks throughout the day.
We’ll ask you on sign up for any dietary requirements.
I have specific accessibility requirements. Who can I contact?
Please get in touch with el@themarketingmeetup.com, who will be happy to help. We want you to have a wonderful day so will do all we can to help.
Is there a code of conduct?
Hell yeah there is. Find it here. This is important.
Can I sponsor?
Yep! Get in touch with james@themarketingmeetup.com for more information.
Events tend to make me uncomfortable, are you mindful of this?
TMM was started because of a fear of attending traditional networking events.
There are some elements of these events that are unavoidable: we are there to meet one another and there will be open networking.
But, because we know how it feels, we’ll be doing everything we can to ensure everyone, no matter your personality, can take something away from the day and feel welcome.
A small example is making sure our venue has lots of places for you to nip into a corner and regain your energy before going again – but we’ll be seeking to incorporate lots of little touches to make sure your day is a good one.
I'd love to come, but I'm not in a financial position to do so just yet. Can you help?
The spirit of TMM is to try to make things as accessible as possible. While there are practicalities to running an event like this, we don’t want to consciously exclude people solely on a financial basis.
With this in mind, we will hold a limited number of ‘scholarship’ tickets which will be available without charge for those genuinely in need of it.
Likewise, if your company is able to provide funding for a sponsorship ticket, we’ll gladly acknowledge you as such at the event and on the event page.
