BIGGER. BETTER. BOLDER.
The conference for media buyers, planners, strategists and commercial leaders
Launched in 2021 in London, The Future of Media has become the UK's leading event dedicated to the power of commercial media.
The inaugural edition of The Future of Media Manchester in 2024 gathered over 500 media leaders and future leaders to hear best practice in media buying, selling, planning, and commercial leadership, as well as insights on changing media business models and market opportunities.
Powered by The Media Leader and driven by four core values of disruption, innovation, courage, and excellence, The Future of Media has consistently put the core media issues front and centre; allowing the industry to learn from the most prominent figures in the market.
Returning on 25 September to RNCM, this year the event is bigger, better and bolder. Expect a new stage packed with the premium speakers, more sessions and new formats to choose from, as you grow your network with 700+ of the brightest minds in the industry.
