Our flagship conference returns in 2027, bringing the most senior marketers in the industry together for one day of thinking that will change how you see your business, your brand and your role in both.

"My favourite day of the year" - Sabina Jasinka, LILT AI

The Global Changemakers Conference is The Marketing Society’s biggest event of the year, and the one our community tells us they wouldn’t miss. Each year we bring more than 500 senior marketers into one room for a day built entirely around what they need: fresh thinking, honest conversation and the confidence to take bigger decisions back to their businesses.

The theme and speakers for 2027 will be revealed soon. What we can tell you now is what makes the day what it is, because that never changes.

ONE STAGE, NOTHING TO MISS

The conference runs on a single stage and a single track, so there’s no need to choose between rooms or worry about what you’re missing elsewhere. Every session earns its place on the agenda. We bring together business leaders, scientists, innovators and people with remarkable stories from well beyond marketing, because some of the best thinking about our industry comes from outside it.

“Absolutely incredible speakers. Superb content curation.” 

A DAY THAT STAYS WITH YOU

This is a conference that makes people feel something. Attendees tell us they laughed, they were moved and they left seeing their work differently. It’s the kind of energy that’s hard to find in a normal working week, and it carries on long after the day ends.

“Not only is my notebook full but my cup is full of energy too!” 

THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM

The conversations over coffee and lunch are as valuable as anything said on stage. You’ll spend the day alongside peers who are facing the same pressures and opportunities as you, and our Made by Members sessions hand the stage to people from our own community, sharing the moments that shaped them as leaders.

“It was lovely to get off the balcony and on to dancefloor for a day and see what others are doing.” Georgina, Knight Frank

THINKING YOU CAN TAKE INTO THE BOARDROOM

This isn’t a day of trends and buzzwords. It's designed to sharpen your thinking on the decisions in front of you and the conversations you’ll be having with your CEO and Board, so you go back to your business with clearer thinking and real momentum.

“Lots to think about and bring back to the team...” Anna,The National Lottery

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The conference is for senior marketing leaders, CMOs and marketing directors, and the leaders who work alongside them, who want to shape how their businesses grow.

“Inspiring and thought provoking in equal measure!” Theo, Neverland
