Glimpses from the last edition
Here’s what attendees have to say
REVIV
We’ve had a great time at this event
today. It’s been really insightful.
The speakers were wonderful and
we enjoyed the panels and the
presentations. It’s been a little bit of
inspiration and we got to see where the
future of tech is heading.
Marketing Director
Mowgli
Today’s been really good. It was so
nice to spend some time with industry
experts, to hear some great thoughts
and insights, even from industries I
normally hear talk as well. The event
has been quite interesting and I’ve met
lots of amazing people!
Marketing Manager Europe
Entegra
It’s been a really fun day and I think
the benefit for me is that you’re
bringing all the solutions in one room,
one environment so that we can get
tailored solutions for our business and
talk to the people that can bring that
to life. This has been a very interesting
event.
Influencer Marketing Expert
Gordon Glenister
Have I enjoyed the event? Absolutely! I
think it’s because we’ve had so many
insightful sessions, panels, fireside-
chats, keynotes and it’s really important
in any conference that you vary the
content and make it highly relevant with
some amazing people.
Lead Ecommerce Manager
The Fine Bedding Company
I’ve been to several events this year but
by far VMF has been the most insightful.
They had the best keynote speakers
and a great consideration for the future
marketing strategies.
Group Digital and Technology Director
Bruntwood
This was a really really good event,
extremely formative. Coming from
a tech background, it was quite
interesting to see what a Martech event
was about. It was enjoyable and got a
lot of key takeaways!
