Everyone Doing It Together III

About the event

On Thursday, 10th October 2024, we hosted the third "Everyone Doing It Together" event at The Trampery Old Street, EC1V 9EY.

Established three years ago to promote ED&I in the marcomms industry, the event unites professionals to transform the industry from the inside out. This year’s new format included roundtable discussions to foster conversations, share experiences, and network with peers.

With diverse speakers from various backgrounds and leading brands, the event provided valuable insights. We were thrilled to have so many join us in driving the change we want to see in the industry!
