Advertising Week Europe returns to London on 16-18 May 2023 to Picturehouse Central.
2023 is shaping up to be a challenging year. We’ve emerged from the pandemic years into a recession, political upheaval, cost of living crisis and ongoing conflict in continental Europe. All whilst navigating the critical areas of diversity, equity and inclusion, flexible and hybrid working or the climate.
Now, more than ever, it’s time for us all to STEP FORWARD, to discover new opportunities, take responsibility, get practical and focus on delivering transformative change in our businesses, our workplaces, personal lives and wider society.
Step Forward aims to inspire and motivate people to speak up and get involved. AWEurope will give them the tools needed to make a difference.
The greatest minds from brands, agencies, media and technology — as well as from wider pop culture — will again gather to debate the biggest issues that are shaking and shaping our industry.
In-person or virtually, delegates will find inspiration, learn critical new skills, experience the latest ideas and innovations and connect with colleagues — new and old — with our trademark sprinkling of culture, entertainment and surprise woven throughout the week.

Once again, AWEurope is CPD certified. By attending, you will contribute to your continuous professional development through an accredited provider.
