Event
Tuesday, October 14 | 10 am - 4pm | London
Stop broadcasting. Start co-creating.
Platforms have democratised creativity. Now anyone can create content, spark conversation, and influence the world’s biggest trends. From employees to everyday users to influencers and creators, the power’s in the hands of the collective.
The problem? Most brands still act like they’re on an island.
Our sellout live event SocialMinds LIVE returns to London’s Everyman Broadgate this autumn for a social marketing conference that brings together the very best brands and platforms building a collective from the ground up.
SocialMinds LIVE: Era of the Collective will deep-dive what it really means to stand out in an era where creative and strategic excellence is no longer a one-man band. Across a jam-packed day of panels, fireside chats and exclusive workshops, the biggest social platforms, boldest brands, and sharpest creators in the industry will share their expertise on harnessing the full force of their communities – so you can do the same.
From EGC to UGC to creator content, we’ll show you how the best social-first brands tap into creators, colleagues and customers to build content, culture and connections.
If you want strategic clarity on where to focus, what’s next, and how to win in the era of the collective, this is an event you can’t miss.
