C&IT Agency Forum | The Ultimate Event for Agency Event Planners

We’ve shaken things up. For 2026, the C&IT Agency Forum is leaving London behind and heading to the seaside - landing at the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole on 12–13 February 2026.

Think game-changing content, 1-2-1 supplier meetings, and the connections that fuel the UK’s most creative agencies — all with Brighton’s buzz as the backdrop.

This is where the industry’s brightest minds meet to share ideas, spark collaborations, and push boundaries. Whether you join for one day or the full hosted experience, Agency Forum 2026 promises conversations you can’t afford to miss, suppliers you need to know, and insights that will shape your year ahead.

Places are limited and subject to approval — apply now to secure your spot.

"C&IT's annual Agency Forum is always one of the highlights of the industry calendar, and after attending my first one last year, I can see why!

The 2026 edition promises to be bigger, better and more transformational than ever, with a new location, more insightful content and plenty of opportunities to reconnect with old friends and former partners.

I hope I'll see you all there in February - and I hope that you're all warming up those vocal cords in preparation!"
