What makes us different?

Digital Marketing events happen across the country every day, and the variety offered in the market is more than ever before, so why should you spend a day with us?

Our team have attended 100s of marketing events, we’ve run conference and seminars for 50-1000+ people, and we felt there was a gap in the market for an event that not only informed, but inspired.

We chose to host this event in Manchester, as we are passionate believers in the value of uniting the digital community in the north. We have our second largest connective3 office here, have built our Digital Bites networking events here and felt that this city had to be the home for Up North.

Our Venue

With a vibrant and connected digital community, we felt that Manchester was the only location for us to host the first Up North, and Victoria Warehouse was simply the perfect venue for our inagural event.

Set a stone’s throw away from Old Trafford, the former cotton store features uniquely designed event spaces, perfect for a gathering of Northern marketers. Expect plenty of exposed brick and dramatic lighting – throw in a few stages and 400 digital marketers and the scene was set for one hell of a day.
