ICE Conference took place live at Southbank Centre, London on 7 July 2022. The Conference focussed on the importance of Marketing and Event Planner collaboration in the New World and how to develop your skill sets to meet the demands of the technological revolution.
There were three keynote sessions and in between the sessions, there was a series of skills campfires where more one-on-one topics were discussed. The campfires took place twice throughout the day so delegates had the opportunity to cover a number of key topics. Each presenter gave us three key takeaways from their sessions which are beautifully illustrated in this infographic by DRPG.
Take a look at the 2022 programme below. ICE Conference 23 will take place on 13th July 2023 and more details will be released next year.
