The Northampton Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Northants to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in ‘listen’ not ‘sell’ mode ?
We’re heading back to the lovely Vulcan Works for this one, and we just want to get together, say hello, have a chat, and have a nice time.
Think of this as a community event, where the focus is very much on you meeting other people in a chilled out friendly space. We’ll chat over food and drink, listen to an inspirational speaker or two, chat some more, and go home buzzing with new contacts and new ideas.
Let’s have a lovely night in the company of some amazin’ people.

Speaker: Chris Dunne, CEO at Outvertising
Topic: Beyond the Rainbow: building LGBTQIA+ inclusion into your work and workplaces
Marketing has the power to create positive societal change. At a time when LGBTQIA+ people are coming under increasing attack from politicians and sections of the media, allies and advocates in our industry are looking for meaningful and tangible ways to support the community in their work and how they do business.
This session will:
• Outline some of the challenges LGBTQIA+ people face in 2025
• Explore how LGBTQIA+ inclusion can benefit everyone
• Equip you with a framework to build LGBTQIA+ equity into your marketing communications and organisation
• Share examples of campaigns that are leading the way in positive and authentic LGBTQIA+ representation
• Provide 3 actions everyone can start doing today to drive better workplace inclusion
——————–
The format of the night:
6:00 pm – doors open – drinks, networking, and smiles
6:30 pm – introduction and talks begin
7:00 pm – talks finish, networking, listening, saying hello, and positively lovely people
7:45 pm – end of the night – you leave with new contacts and fresh ideas
