CALIBER OF DELEGATES IS DEFINITELY THE HIGHEST The caliber of delegates at the Customer 360 Symposium is definitely the highest of any conference that I attend. I think the seniority comes from the fact that you do get to be away from the office and it’s just an incredible opportunity.

EVENT OF THE YEAR The L&D HR Symposium is absolutely the standout People & Culture event of the year. The quality of speakers and attendees is incredibly high, and the Ashton Media team go to incredible efforts to make sure every detail is thought of (thank you!!). It truly is an immersive learning experience, filled with moments for genuine connection and inspiration. This was my second year and it was wonderful to re-connect with peers from last year, and meet so many incredible new people this year. Having the opportunity to bounce & build ideas in this community is truly so unique to a 'conference' experience. I feel re-energised after spending two days with so many amazing people and I can not wait for next year.

LASTING RELATIONSHIPS The MarTech Symposium continues to go from strength to strength. This year's event was a standout for me as I felt it was extremely immersive and engaging with a fantastic variety of short, sharp and relevant presentations. I have come away more informed, more excited and with lasting relationships. Can't wait for next year already and to share our MarTech journey.

GREATEST MINDS IN DIGITAL The programmatic summit is an exceptional event bringing together some of the greatest minds in digital to share their knowledge. Would highly recommend & will be returning!

REAL CASE STUDIES A fantastic day hearing insights and real case studies from a diverse range of experienced practitioners and leaders in CX. A great opportunity to meet people or reconnect who are just as passionate about CX as you are, and always take away plenty of great ideas and stories.
