A Summit for marketers, designed by and for the UK’s leading marketers, we know this can’t be a carbon copy of anything that has gone before. The marketing event landscape is already crowded – so why should you commit a whole day in your busy schedule to joining us? What are our points of difference? Founder Tim Healey walks us through the thinking behind the speaker selection for the 2026 LGCC Summit.
This week – our speaker choices:
Choosing the right speakers for our Summit has been a highly considered process. I am not at liberty to share who we will be booking at this time (announcement coming very soon), but I can say with confidence that many will not be the usual marketing event headliners.
We all know who they are – I’ve no need to name them here. And let’s be clear – the typical marketing circuit speakers are without question super-knowledgeable, experienced and often charismatic and entertaining too.
So why have we swerved them for our Summit keynote line up?
Zooming out – not in:
Because the delegates at our event will be of similar senior and decision-making level, we want to share insight and views at a very high-level. Rather than drilling down into the minutae, what are the key pieces of information that will help you on a ’macro’ – rather than ‘micro’ – scale?
We want views, experience and insight on global, national, socio-economic and political issues: information from people who have worked at that level – or who are in regular contact with titans of industry and politics.
Alongside them we will have firebrand strategists and technology experts who bring their extraordinary views from the fringes that are shaping tomorrow. We will also have some of the world’s most experienced and talented marketers who are at the top of their game, and who have made special allowances in the schedule to speak at this event.
Consultation with you:
Secondly, to confirm this speaker line up is not my own eccentric pipe-dream, we consulted members of our advisory board. We sought their advice to make sure that our selected speakers are all people they want to hear, and don’t often get the opportunity to hear speak. The feedback was entirely positive. So we can say with confidence: you are in for a treat.
So please hold tight, the speaker list is coming very soon with an announcement in September… and I very much hope that you will be as excited about it as I am.
