The Manchester Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' mode!
The Marketing Meetup is a global community for marketers, and the marketing-curious. This is your space to keep up to date and meet like minds, in an environment that prioritises kindness and learning you can actually put into action.
We're heading back to the lovely Forward Role offices for this event, where the vibes are chill and friendly, and you’ll be welcomed in with big smiles and cheerful chat 🙂
Come say hello, grab a snack, listen to a speaker or two to get the ideas flowing, and savour the time to have real conversations with real humans. No selling or networking bingo, just good people being good people.
This is the kind of night where you walk home at the end thinking, "I’m not the only one, after all."
Let’s have a fab night with some fab people. You’re invited, of course.

7:15 pm Talks done, and plenty of time for open conversation, new connections, and zero pressure chatting
8:00 pm Home time, with new connections, ideas in your head, and a smile on your face :)

Just one little ask: if you sign up and can't make it, please let us know so we can offer your spot to someone else. We know that certain things crop up (we’re only human!), but after three unnotified no-shows we'll need to prioritise other community members, out of fairness to everyone who puts time and heart into making these evenings happen. 🙂
