Whether you have attended Advertising Week previously, or will be joining us for the first time, there is something for everyone. Nearly 30,000 people are expected to attend this year, so you’ll want to make sure you work out your attendance plan fast. Advertising Week Europe has an impressive advisory counsel (including luminaries like Kathleen Saxton of the Lighthouse Company, and Nigel Clarkson of Yahoo UK) who have been working for months to ensure that this year offers a new standard of value to marketing professionals.
Much of Advertising Week Europe’s strength is in its impressive roster of speakers. Even if you’ve attended Advertising Week the past couple years, most of these will be new to you. There are so many thought leaders to get excited about, but here are a few of the speakers and events that stand out:
– Ade Adepitan – A true Renaissance man, most Europeans will know Ade from Channel 4, where he is a popular presenter. But Adepitan’s bio is much more colorful than his day job might lead you to believe. Nigerian-born, Ade is unable to walk due to contracting polio as a child. He became a champion at wheelchair basketball, and has since expanded his career into all kinds of media and charity outlets.
– A Conversation with Sir Martin Sorrell – WPP chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell started the company he still runs today. Having taken WPP to the highest reaches of its industry, he will, with his trademark engaging style, have thoughts about the evolving role of business marketing in this still young century.
– Rhiannon Ashley – For those interested in the thoughts of a younger face using fresher platforms, Ashley is an incredible example of a self-made woman using the internet to connect her insight to interested people all around the world. This Vlogger has over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube alone, and achieves a gold standard in social media engagement. Whether or not you love fashion, this fashion personality has marketing tips you need to hear.
