Challenger Stage Advisory Board
At this year's The Future of Media London, we have joined forces with the Alliance of Media Independents (AMI) to launch the Challenger Stage which will run on 4th November.
The Challenger Stage has been created in response to growing demand from independent agencies for content tailored to their unique commercial and strategic challenges. The programme will provide practical insight, debate and networking for one of the industry's fastest-growing sectors.
Developing the programme alongside The Media Leader and AMI is an Advisory Board of leaders representing a cross-section of the independent agency community.
