Excitement builds for major Bondholder showcase event

Preparations are in full swing for a major showcase event, which will shine a light on Marketing Derby’s Bondholder community.

Backed by headline sponsor Smith Partnership, Bondholder Spotlight will take place at the Reach Events Centre, on Pride Park, on Thursday 13 October.

The day-long event aims to profile and celebrate the 350-plus businesses and organisations who make up the Bondholder community, who together support Marketing Derby’s efforts to promote and attract investment to Derby and Derbyshire.

It also aims to demonstrate to other businesses and organisations the benefits of being a Bondholder.

The expo-style event will feature an exhibition area, workshops, well-being area, a ‘celebration’ stage and a main stage, with a top line-up of keynote speakers throughout the day.

There will be a special area for our Bondholder charities, where they will be able to showcase themselves to businesses looking for their chosen charities to support.

And there will also be an area where delegates can work, so they can keep up with their day jobs while still attending the event.

All the elements of that make up the event are now falling into place, including speakers, stands and networking opportunities.

Confirmed to speak at Bondholder Spotlight is Martin Broadhurst, of Broadhurst Digital.

The session, backed by Bates Weston, will see Martin discuss how to use artificial intelligence in your marketing strategy – a presentation he recently delivered at the Marketing Artificial Intelligence Conference, a major international conference which took place in the US.

Also confirmed is Keith Cox, co-founder and director of Bloc Digital.

His session, backed by Hardy Signs, will allow attendees to discover the potential of AR, VR and other immersive technologies – and how they can benefit businesses.

Bondholder Spotlight will also be a golden opportunity for companies to network and enjoy free coffee, courtesy of Nespresso.

The networking area will be sponsored by ‘the hookup’ – the latest venture between Ask the Chameleon and think3, which is a speed-dating networking group for businesses.

Details about keynote speakers, exhibitors and panel discussions will be announced soon.
