NORTH

Not your average marketing event

Up North is a one day marketing festival in Manchester by connective3.

On June 22 2023 we ran our first ever Up North and had an incredible turnout. Across the day we brought together 400 leading marketers, inspirational thinkers, and entrepreneurs for one-of-a-kind event.

On the two stages, we had 24 speakers, providing content on all things digital marketing, business strategy and personal development. We curated a line up of talks to will help you think bigger, work smarter and inspire you to get more from your marketing strategies.

Why Attend Up North

Whether you’re a marketer at an established brand, or someone just starting out – the content is designed to help marketers of all levels improve not only their skills as practitioners but also as professionals.

If you want to network and learn with the leading marketers in the North of England, then this is the event you need to be at.

And the best part? It’s completely free.

Our previous speakers

We’ve had some of the best marketers in the industry speak at Up North including Depop, Surreal, Channel 4, Girls in Marketing, Google, Manchester Airport Group and of course connective3.

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.
