JOIN US ONLINE AT RENEW 2022
Following new Government guidance regarding the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the UK, we have made the decision to make RENEW 2022 – our joint summit with IPA & ISBA – an exclusively online event.
It is a shame that we won’t be gathering in person in Leicester Square, but this is of course to ensure the safety and well-being of all our attendees, which is the most important thing.
It will be broadcast live from London on the morning of 27 January and will feature a fantastic line up of speakers. Check out the list and book your ticket here. We are offering discounts for members and under 30s.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to RENEW 2022!
GET BOOSTED NOW, ADLAND!
The UK Government is rolling out its coronavirus booster campaign and we at the Advertising Association are supporting this in order to help as swift an uptake as possible – we hope that businesses can remain open and our communities are as safe as possible in the run up to the festive season.
You can support the campaign by encouraging employees to get a booster (or first and second jab), promote the campaign to your customers/clients, and if operationally feasible, release staff to help with the volunteer effort.
Communications resources are available here. You can find an employer toolkit here.
