Event Overview
IAB UK's Leadership Summit 2023 will once again take place at Sopwell House, 9 - 10 March, to provide a unique chance for senior decision makers to come together to tackle the biggest issues affecting digital advertising and shape a successful and sustainable future for our industry.
After a year off, 2022's Summit was one of the first opportunities for leaders to be in the same room, confidentially sharing their experiences and plans while hearing from inspirational and visionary speakers.
As society and the ad industry face an uncertain year and cost-of-living crisis, ensure you and your company are represented at Leadership Summit 2023 to help shape the future, share expertise and knowledge and build your senior network across the industry.
Aspiring Leaders
New for 2023, Leadership Summit will also welcome 10 aspiring leaders from across the digital advertising industry. Every IAB UK member buying a ticket will be able to nominate someone from their company who they feel would benefit from attending the Leadership Summit and add an interesting perspective to the discussions taking place. Successful aspiring leaders will be able to purchase a ticket for the reduced price of £400. There are no specific criteria for who qualifies, but all nominations will be assessed to ensure we welcome a diverse group of aspiring leaders from a broad range of companies. Nominations must be received by 31 January 2023 and successful aspiring leaders will be informed by Friday 10 February.
