Back for 2025, our digital marketing conference remains the 'must go' event for the digital marketer or those who depend on digital tools for their marketing. With exclusive use of the venue's conference facilities, there will be lots of time for delegates to hear from our experts and network with peers.
At this popular annual event, a line-up of experts and commentators will be on hand to present and discuss the latest trends, share tips and best practice in digital marketing.
Our speaker line-up includes:
Tristan Veale | Insight Manager at IAB
The state of digital advertising and futurescape

Babita Devi | Chief Commercial Officer at 1956 Individuals
Talk to me: Why the future of marketing is a two-way conversation
What if your marketing could talk back, intelligently, emotionally, and in real-time? Babita Devi will introduce AI Alan Turing from Bletchley Park and Zoe Starling - who is a member of her commercial team. These two AI-powered avatars are designed to transform how brands communicate. This session explores the shift from static messaging to dynamic, conversational engagement, marking the next natural evolution in how brands connect. By meeting customers where they are, and how they already use technology, these memory-driven avatars (with permission) recall preferences and previous interactions to deliver hyper-personalised seamless experiences at scale. Attendees will not only hear about this innovation, they will meet it face-to-face.
