Is your brand keeping up with the pace of digital change, or is it at risk of being left behind?

As Chair of CIM Yorkshire, I’m delighted to be part of the committee bringing together an event designed to tackle one of the biggest questions facing marketers today - How do we keep brands relevant in an age of constant digital disruption?

Join us on Thursday 1st October 2026 in Leeds for Disrupt or Decline: Brand Relevance in the Age of Digital Disruption, an afternoon of insights, discussion and networking with fellow marketing professionals.

Why attend?

AI is transforming how we search, create and communicate. Consumer expectations are changing. New platforms and technologies are emerging at an incredible pace.

For brands, that creates a challenge, how do you evolve without losing what makes your brand distinctive?

This event will explore what it takes for brands to remain relevant, competitive and connected with their audiences in an increasingly disrupted digital world.

Whether you're responsible for a brand, work in marketing, run your own business or simply want to understand where brand and digital marketing are heading, there should be plenty to take away.

Come along, get inspired and join the conversation

CIM Yorkshire events are also a great opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, hear different perspectives and connect with other marketers.

You might come away with a new idea for your brand, a different way of looking at digital disruption – or simply a few conversations that spark your next great marketing idea.

And there's another very good reason to come along… It's FREE to attend! Yes, there's no charge to attend this CIM Yorkshire event.

So if you're a marketer in Yorkshire, or can get to Leeds, this is an opportunity to hear from industry experts, meet fellow marketing professionals and explore how brands can stay relevant in a rapidly changing world – without spending a penny.
