Tobacco Dock is set to host the Festival of Marketing this week, from 4-5 October 2017. The prestigious two-day marketing conference will be returning to the east London venue for the fourth consecutive year and is expected to be bigger and better than ever with more than 200 speakers and 92 sponsors.
This year, the festival’s opening speech is by renowned actor, writer and producer Stephen Fry, with other high-profile speakers such as Chris Michaels (digital director, The National Gallery), Lauren Laverne (co-founder, The Pool) and Jo Malone (founder & creative director, Jo Loves) delivering insights and advice to over 4,000 marketing professionals.
The event will be making use of all of Tobacco Dock’s flexible and characterful spaces for keynotes, breakouts, workshops, brand rooms, networking and refreshments. The festival will also be using the services of the venue’s renowned in-house caterers Tobacco Dock Food.
Jonathan Read, commercial director at Tobacco Dock, comments: “We are delighted to welcome back the Festival of Marketing to Tobacco Dock. This event is a highlight of our B2B events calendar and one we look forward to hosting every year due to its world-class line up of presenters and content which makes full use of our versatile spaces, both large and small. We will be delivering the highest quality of customer experience to Centaur, and its visitors and partners and will be proud to have such a distinguished audience in our iconic building once again.”
