Event & Award Dates Every Marketer Needs in Their Diary

After years of scouring through events, awards and expos – and certainly learning the hard way at times – I finally have a comprehensive UK and International list that hopefully you will find invaluable in your annual planning. All of the lists I used to use were piecemeal at best, so this comprehensive events and awards list for marketing is going to be your best asset each year. Most of these events run each year, so I have tried to include links to the generic sites as opposed to links to specific years agendas. Where possible, I have also tried to include the ‘starting’ rates so you can have a transparent view, and comparison, of pricing. So there you have it – an overview of marketing events and awards, and their associated costs. Happy marketing people!
