The marketing conference where you don’t just hear marketing theory – but the stories of how it came to life.
Marketing advice right now is so full of big claims – it’s hard to know what to trust, and harder to know what will actually be useful.
The Marketing Meetup Conference begins with what’s real today and what’s reasonable to expect for tomorrow as the foundation of marketing practice that can help you thrive in the next 12 months.
Alongside that learning – you, of course, do it in the company of incredible marketers – at an event where we really care about you having a nice time.
One day, one stage, a room full of your marketing peers, and speakers who tell you what happened when they did the work. You are invited 🙂
March 18th, 2027. Church House, London.
£379 + VAT earlybird rate, and first speakers now announced.
93% of marketers who rated our event gave it a 9 or 10 out of 10 for likelihood to recommend.

Get in touch about partnering here.
A day learning from marketers doing the work.
We’ll be announcing your lineup over the next few months, speaker by speaker.
Each of our speakers is briefed with the same line – “come to share your experiences the community can learn from – not those which you can just lift from a textbook”.
Come the day, we’ll have a mixture of talks, and a workshop to bring you a mixture of informative and practical sessions.
The ambition is you leave with practical lessons to apply in your own efforts for the year ahead that have been validated by a fellow marketers lived experience – not something that just looks great in a deck.
In the company of marketers who share your challenges.
It’s not just the speakers you learn from on a day like this.
The conversation in the corridor with a new person you connect with: someone who has lived the challenges you’re facing right now and has either solved them or is able to provide you kinship to figure it out together.
We hope you leave the day not just with new thoughts in your head – but with the network to be able to tackle the next 12 months (and beyond!).
An event built by people who know networking isn’t always comfortable
Can I break the fourth wall for a moment and speak in personal pronouns here?
Hi. I’m Joe – I’m one of the founders of TMM. I started this community because I’m a fairly ferocious introvert and big events generally aren’t a nice place for me to be.
So, we’ve built this whole experience with that knowledge in mind. A quiet room. Little cubby places you can recharge for a moment. Bird song instead of banging beats.
This is a place we want everyone to feel comfortable in, very much including those who traditionally find conferences hard.
Okay, back to the conference page… 🙂

What your fellow marketers said about last year
“
I came last year and loved it. This year I brought my direct report and we were pinging with ideas the whole day.
– Claire, Senior Marketer, Large B2B organisation
“
Over 20 years I have been to a lot of conferences, and this is by far the best one ever. Every talk was interesting, wholesome and useful.
– Ellie, SMB Marketing Manager
“
I hate networking, but I looked forward to those breaks because of the community that had been built… I came away with people I will continue speaking with.
– Andreas, Freelancer
“
Unlike most conferences that lean heavily on sales talk, this one felt genuinely different.
– Jenn, Senior Marketer

Pricing schedule

- 2nd Feb 2027 – 18th March 2027 – Standard rate – £479 + VAT
No false scarcity or secret discounts
We’re all marketers here, so we know how sometimes events create false scarcity or fill the event with free tickets. Neither happen here. We want you to feel respected and valued!
Invoice and instalments option
If your company would prefer to pay by invoice, or you need to pay for the tickets in instalments we can do that. Email el@themarketingmeetup.com and we’ll raise one.
We wrote the awkward email for you
Most people need a yes from someone. The letter covers what the day costs all in, what you’ll bring back and who else will be in the room.
Still got questions? FAQs.
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?
18th March, 2027.
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 chelcie@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. The link to the scholarship form is here.
