Up North 2024: Save the Date
We’re so excited to announce that our annual marketing festival, Up North, will be back this year on 13th June 2024. Returning to our favourite venue Victoria Warehouse, our vision for Up North remains the same: to create an event a little bit different to your average marketing event, an event to inspire, educate, and motivate.
Last year we welcomed 24 amazing speakers to the stage from brands including Google, The Diary of a CEO, Adanola, and Surreal.
We have opened our 2024 pitch to speak opportunity and welcome first-time speakers. We want to hear from interesting marketers across the North, whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting in the industry!
