As we begin to navigate lockdown measures, we have been planning for the second half of the year, working on the basis that we will be operating in-person events, albeit with the requisite physical distancing and safety measures to ensure everyone’s good health. I am therefore delighted to share The Forum’s Autumn schedule with you.

We have planned a ‘hybrid’ programme for the second half of the year. We envisage that many businesses will be planning a staggered return to the office, so with this in mind, events due to take place in September will continue to be a combination of member-only and open webinars. From October onwards we are planning a return to face-to-face events, alongside additional webinars.
We are also holding our first ever two-day Associate Member Summit in November and looking forward to our Annual Members’ Dinner and Awards for Marketing Effectiveness later in that month.
Of course, at the time of going to print, there is still a degree of uncertainty about what the future holds, with the possibility that some earlier sessions may still need to be converted into webinars, and further adaptations made in light of a second winter spike.
However, The Forum’s commitment to delivering insightful, challenging, and innovative marketing learning to our Membership continues to be our North Star, as it has been throughout the crisis. We will continue to deliver value back to you, our Members, by adopting a flexible strategy to suit the prevailing situation as and when required.
In the meantime, we look forward to meeting up again soon, in-person, to enjoy the irreplaceable opportunities that face-to-face, physical interaction brings.
