2019 Annual Conference

Supporting college marketing professionals

for over 30 years!

Hilton Hotel WarwickMonday 2nd December 2019

Join us at our 32ndt Annual Conference at the Hilton Hotel Warwick – celebrate the best in college marketing at our unmissable event of the year!

Great reasons to attend…Meet colleagues, share good practice, update your skills and develop your own networks. College marketers have been attending our conference for over 30 years: why not join them in 2019?

“The conference was very well organised, with a range of speakers

that related to our industry.”

“This is by far the most relevant, informative and useful conference for college marketing professionals I attend each year.”

“The CMN conference is a fantastic way to meet likeminded education marketing professionals from all over the country, compare notes, share insights and hear

from some great speakers to share new ideas.”

“The conference is full of great tips

and tricks to boost our marketing

and comms activity.”

“A very informative day which has given me a lot of inspiration for

future planning.”

Programme and theme

This year, we’ll be aiming to examine colleges as a force and influence in the community – looking at the value of colleges economically, socially and aspirationally. We’ll be talking about community links, ambition for our local communities, business and commercial links, apprenticeships and more – watch the website at www.m-network.org/cmn-conference for updates over the next months.

The programme will include a mix of plenary sessions for all delegates and a choice of skills-based, interactive workshops. You can pre-book your workshop choices in advance if we receive your conference booking by 22nd November.

“The conference was very well organised, with a range of speakers

that related to our industry.”

“The conference was a great chance to think about my college’s marketing, away from the office, and pick up lots of tips and best

practice from other colleges.”

“A very insightful day with some great take-aways which I shall be

implementing on my return to work. Real world advice!”
