Why are Marketing Labs different?
The Marketing Lab provides an opportunity to network AND learn in a short focussed session with peers interested in the same topics - unlike many networking groups in the area that provide general networking or learning separately. These sessions will be held on the last Thursday of every month, giving you the opportunity to network with peers, expand your marketing knowledge base, and take immediate actionable tactics back.
What you can expect at a Marketing Lab?
The Marketing Lab sessions include:
Relaxed, purposeful networking
A focused, interactive marketing session
Dedicated time to apply what you’ve learned
Small group discussion and feedback
How much do Marketing Labs cost?
The goal of the Marketing Lab is to provide local professionals and businesses with an opportunity to connect with peers and learn. Therefore the cost of these sessions is minimal to make them accessible. They are priced at £45 per person per session.
The Session on April 30th is complimentary with limited seating so reserve your spot quickly.
