The Marketing Meetup IRL: Northampton
2025-01-16 18:00 - 20:00 (Europe/London) | Vulcan Works, 34-38 Guildhall Rd, northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1EW, United Kingdom
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 â€˜listenâ€™ not â€˜sellâ€™ mode ðŸ™‚
Weâ€™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.
