The Experience Era: Shaping Brand Leadership in 2026 

--- This event is for brand-side marketers only ---

Looking ahead, brands are entering a more demanding, more human era. Audiences are increasingly selective, values-driven and conscious of how brands show up in their lives. Attention is no longer a given, loyalty is fragile, and relevance must be earned through genuine connection rather than constant visibility. The brands that will succeed are those that understand people as participants, not just audiences, creating experiences that feel meaningful, considered and worth their time.

Join us as we bring together a senior panel of marketers who will discuss what they believe the key challenges will be this year, drawing on their own experiences to share practical perspectives on how brands can navigate change, stay culturally relevant and create meaningful connections with audiences. The panel will explore what marketers should be prioritising now to build stronger, more resonant brand experiences in 2026 and beyond.

🌟Sandie Dilger, CMO at Proper Snacks
