WHERE THE BEST AGENCIES COME TO PLAY

Two days. One room. The conversations your agency can’t afford to miss.

Step out of delivery mode. Step into Brighton.
This isn’t London noise or conference filler - it’s a focused, hosted buyer forum built for senior agency leaders who need answers, not inspiration posters.

The agencies that stay ahead are the ones having the right conversations before everyone else.
That’s exactly what happens here.

Over two tightly curated days, you’ll be in the room with senior peers and handpicked partners, having proper conversations about what actually moves the needle.

And because the best conversations don’t happen under strip lighting, we’ve secured an exclusive four-course immersive dinner at Le Petit Chef - the kind of shared experience where real relationships actually form.


“BUT I’M BUSY THOSE DATES…”
So is everyone in this room. That’s kind of the point.

Accepted delegates come because this is the one moment in February where stepping away pays off - commercially, strategically, culturally.

Apply now. Decide fast. Thank yourself later.

The C&IT Agency Forum is designed for senior agency decision-makers. Every conversations is with someone who influences budgets, suppliers and strategy.

A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR



"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!"
