presentsA day for marketers who are done pretending everything is fine.
where?
Hamyard Hotel, London
when?
18th September 2026
You're posting more and getting less. You're not imagining it.
Engagement is down, audiences are harder to reach and a lot of what's out there looks and feels exactly the same.
You already know this: you feel it every time you hit publish and hear nothing back, every time you're handed a brief that doesn't quite make sense and told to just make it work and every time someone senior confidently says something in a meeting that you're pretty sure isn't true anymore.
Most people in marketing are feeling the gap between what they're told to do and what's actually working - very few want to say it in a room.
So, We Made One.
n ot just another conference.
Most marketing events are built for the people setting the strategy, Scroll Forward is for everyone else. The ones executing briefs they didn't write, the ones being asked to justify their existence with a dashboard, the ones who've heard "*just be authentic*" one too many times
We're not here to hype you up and send you home buzzing with nothing to show for it. We're here to talk about what's going on - and fix it, together.
We get to the root of it
We're spending the morning understanding why audiences have actually switched off - before we talk about what to do about it.
Then we fix it, properly
Real tactics from people who've figured it out, and honest conversations about what it takes to do things differently.
With people who get it
The day is designed for conversation, not passive watching. You'll leave with people, not just notes.
How the day goes
Doors at half nine, six talks, a proper lunch with plenty going on, and closing drinks to round it off. Here's the full run.
