Book Marketing Society Members’ Meeting

Join us at our members’ meeting, our final for the year, in what promises to be a busy session packed with case studies, campaign tips and audience insights, plus a special keynote from Facebook’s Head of Entertainment for Europe.
We’re working to make the meetings as useful as possible so you’ll find more examples of the great work our members are putting out with our snappy new ‘marketing moments‘ section, as well as an expanded look at the winners and campaigns we loved from the May-August Awards season.
The meeting will run from 4.30-6.30pm but due to security procedures please try to arrive by 4.15pm to allow enough time to get up to the room for the 4.30pm start.
