Coombe Abbey

Binley, Warwickshire, UK

The ultimate networking event


The M&IT Experience is a supercharged version of the much-loved Agency Challenge. We’ve renamed it to reflect an enhancement of the event, and because, for the first time, we are inviting both agencies and corporate in-house event organisers to join.

During the event, you’ll experience everything the host venue has to offer while participating in a combination of immersive networking activities and one-to-one meetings designed to fast-track connections between event planners and suppliers.

Unmissable, Collaborative, Inclusive & Immersive 

SUPPLIERS – MEET YOUR NEXT BIG CLIENTS

Showcase your brand to senior UK-based agencies and corporate in-house event organisers in a setting that blends business with fun. Stay in luxury, enjoy great food and drinks, and build real connections through team challenges and one-on-one meetings.

Want more exposure? Grab a five-minute spotlight to pitch to the entire audience (cost applies).
