MAD//Fest London 2022 - Call for Papers |
Submit your paper before Fri 17 Dec and you could be winning hearts and minds on-stage at MAD//Fest London on 5-7 July 2022.
What are we looking for?
We're looking for global brands, disruptors, entrepreneurs + innovators to tackle this year's theme, 'No Guts, No Glory'.
We don't want sales pitches, sanitised decks, meandering panels (that's right, no panels) and decks that are doing the rounds at other industry events. All sessions are no longer than 20 minutes. Your content should be punchy and to the point.
Our theme: No Guts, No Glory
Whether you're a major brand, challenger or agency, you’ve got big decisions to make. Digital disruption, cultural change, behavioural shifts, different work patterns, economic uncertainty + exciting new innovation have thrown a spanner in the works, upset the hierarchy + created a new marketing arena defined by different rules, trends + competitors.
It really is a brave new world in 2022. What worked was tried-and-tested yesterday may fall flat today. If you want glory, you’ll need guts to get it.
So when doing nothing is likely to lead to failure, what can you do to instigate change, pivot + pinpoint where the opportunity in disruption lies? Who will be the winners + losers? When should you twist + take a risk? How can you use creativity + innovation for a competitive edge?
MAD//Fest 2022 will bring together major players + disruptive forces to salute the bold, beautiful + brilliant thinking that’s changing the face of our industry.
You’ll learn new tricks.
You’ll gain clarity on what you need to do next.
You’ll leave with the courage of conviction to make bigger + better decisions for your brand, business + career.
Important information & advice
We work with an advisory board of industry leaders and select submissions that will deliver genuine value for our audience of brands, agencies, publishers and tech leaders.
We can't take incomplete submissions.
You must agree your content with MAD//Fest's Content Director prior to the event.
Solution & service providers
20% sessions are reserved for suppliers with genuine innovations, solutions and ideas who support MAD//Fest through sponsorship. We apply the same editorial principles to submissions from paid vendor sessions as the other 80% of independent sessions.
Agency/media/tech submissions: co-presenting clients
If you are an agency, media owner or tech provider and would like to be considered for a speaking lot at MAD//Fest, we strongly advise you to propose a brand client to speak alongside you. This is likely to be looked on favourably both in terms of selection, stage allocation and attendance at specific sessions.
