In line with our mission to help members do well in their careers and do good in their organisations and society, our Global Conversation series enables members to get to grips with the latest global industry opportunities and challenges whether that’s high tech & AI, changing consumer expectations, long term brand growth, sustainability etc.

Each month we focus on a new theme and debate the issues around it with the help of leading marketers from each of our regions alongside top economics experts. Our speakers share their own insights, challenges and opportunities and invite delegates to add their own experiences and ideas to the debate.

September's Global Conversation will look at the Pioneering Spirit Awards.

Following the success of our last session, our Global Conversation and Pioneering Spirit Awards collaboration is back with 10 brand-new campaigns from around the world. New work, new debates and once again, you're the judge.

If you're not already familiar, these awards were launched in 2012 by The Marketing Society Scotland as a source of inspiration for Members globally. Each year, award-winning campaigns are debated and scored by an international panel of judges. Over the past decade, more than 500 judges have taken part - now it's your turn.

We've curated 10 outstanding new campaigns from around the world for our global Members to score before coming together on the day to discuss the top 3 campaigns in breakout groups and then we'll vote for the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners.

Register now to take part.
