Big Marketing Meet Up Reveals Three Virtual Presenters

Organisers for the Big Marketing Meet Up have revealed three special guest speakers are set to appear virtually in Belfast's International Convention Centre (ICC) on 14 November.

The exceedingly popular networking event, which sees attendees from Northern Ireland and beyond gather to discuss industry insights, future collaborations and more, will return to the capital this autumn for the second 2024 instalment.

Several stand-out names in the marketing world have now been announced as holding talks on topics of their choice through the power of video conferencing technology.

Alongside the plethora of in-person speakers, three experts will be sharing their cognisant knowledge from a distance, with their addition to the line-up providing extra value for money to ticket holders.

First up on the digital programme is Dublin-based entrepreneur and Language of Leadership CEO, Gina London, who will be offering her guidance on how to better connect and engage with employees, board members and businesses.

Originally hailing from America, Gina has scooped an Emmy award for her work as a former CNN anchor and correspondent, adding to her prolific list of achievements.

Her business leadership column, 'The Communicator', features weekly in The Sunday Independent, and Gina is passionate about sharing her teachings with others, identifying the Big Marketing Meet Up as a brilliant platform to do so.

Speaking on the importance of the event, Gina said: "As a former CNN White House Correspondent, I'm looking forward to sharing who stands out as the master of persuasion and sharing the nuances of their different approaches with the audience at the Big Marketing Meet Up in November, 9 days post election when we find out which one will be the new President of the United States of America."

Making a return following his surprise appearance at last year's event, Seth Godin is back to deliver more inspiration to BMMU ticket holders via his NYC studio.

Delivering a talk about his upcoming book, This Is Strategy, attendees will not only hear marketing advice from Seth's speech and excerpts from the future release, but they can also avail of an ebook copy at no additional cost.

Completing the round-up of virtual attendees, Tad Hargreave will appear on-screen inside of the ICC to deliver a speech on what he has learnt during his extensive career as a marketer.

Having toured the globe speaking to industry professionals and businesses, Tad has compiled his various learnings into a whopping sixteen books and workbooks to aid others hoping to grow their presence in the sector.

The exceptional event line-up has been crafted by Organiser Treena Clarke, who is incredibly passionate about facilitating a guest list that embraces networking opportunities as well as personal development.

Treena said: "The success of our last meet-up showed the demand for a programme that provides key insights and discussions in a fun environment.

"Our speakers and attendees ensure that this will be an event created by marketing professionals, for marketing professionals. It's time for marketers to take time out, learn, and energise."
