Trends 2025: London edition
If you thought 2024 was big—with global elections, the Paris Olympics, and AI stealing the spotlight—just wait for 2025. Join us IRL in London to hear how leading marketers are preparing for yet another year of evolution and transformation.
Trends 2025: London edition
What to expect
Following the launch of our 2025 Trends Report, we’re inviting friends of DEPT® to an invite-only IRL breakfast event, where you can exclusively hear from some of the brightest minds in marketing – from eBay, Mammut and NVIDIA – about what to expect in 2025, and how to prepare.
Spoiler alert: AI is rewriting the playbook. From business to culture, it has the potential to change how brands connect, how we work, and how we experience the world.
But while the AI conversation has (so far) been dominated by making cost savings or churning out content faster, we’ll explore its potential in greater depth – reimagining how businesses operate, make decisions, and interact with customers.
Expect to learn:
- How ambitious brands are rewriting the rules with AI
- What it takes to build brands that shape trends
- How the media revolution is driving a new era of commerce
- Ways you can build agile, ethical organisations
You’ll leave with the knowledge you need to act fast, capitalise on a pivotal year in the evolution of marketing and technology, and lead the charge in an ever-evolving world; as well as some new contacts from industry leading brands.
This event will help you rethink and refocus on what lies ahead in 2025.
