Why campfire stories? What will I learn?
A few years ago I sat in the audience for a talk from one of the industry’s most followed speakers.
I sat ready to learn, but instead of being illuminated I found myself disappointed. They were speaking in platitudes and theories. Words with no actual chance of making their way to the real world of marketing.
The moment the talk came alive though?
It was the moment the speaker started to share their own stories. Stuff that had actually happened.
It struck me right then that I was learning more from the speaker’s thought processes and reflections, while being entertained, too.
So, we’ve asked our speakers to frame their talks in a story or a situation, so they can illuminate the lessons and frameworks that helped them to succeeed, or would have been useful to know at the time.
We want this to be a soulful, practical event where you feel valued and informed. This event is a big deal for us, because you are a big deal to us.
And at at the end of it all, you’ll leave with practical, real world marketing knowledge to become an even better marketing person. Hopefully, with some more friends to help you along that journey, too.
– Joe Glover, Co-Founder of TMM 🙂
How will the day look?
The schedule is a work in progress, but we plan to have one stage with one talk at a time. Community comes first, so it feels important we all share the same experience and opportunities on the day.
We’re starting the day later than your typical conference (10.30AM) so folks can travel into London and not miss the first talk. Again, we’ve been there! Doors will open earlier than 10.30, though, so there’s plenty of time to meet your community.
We know you’re coming for your TMM friends as much as you’re coming to learn, so we’re building in plenty of downtime. Lots of chats between talks.
Our venue for the day
Church House, Westminster, Dean’s Yard, London, SW1P 3NZ
We’re hosting your event in the stunning Church House.
As well as being a wonderful event space, it has a bunch of history. Sat in the shadow of Westminster Abbey, Church House was used as the Houses of Parliament during WWII.
We love the idea of creating our own history here, eight decades on.
One of our favourite things about the venue is all the quiet nooks and crannies for folks to take a moment. Perfect spots to have a chat or recharge your batteries if you need to throughout the day.
It’s a beautiful building, thoughtfully chosen to create a positively lovely event for all.
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?
20th March, 2025.
Talks will start at 10.30 AM to allow folks from outside London to travel in. Doors will open before to allow for networking, checking out the stands and relaxing before the event.
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. If this is you, you can apply for a scholarship ticket here.
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.
