Prolific North is pleased to announce the launch of its second annual media, marketing and creative industries expo, Prolific North Live.

Following on from the huge success of Prolific North Live ’16 we’ve decided to increase the size of the expo, move venues and go from a one day to a two day event.

The two day expo will take place at EventCity on Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 February 2017. It will feature leading exponents of digital innovation, cutting edge marketing, branding and experiential agencies, content and engagement specialists, advertising and PR firms, leading broadcasters, TV and film production companies, printers, media suppliers and some of the best business brains from across the UK.

As well as dozens of exhibitors offering invaluable insight into their businesses, the exhibition will also feature venture funding sessions, business speed dating, tech innovation demonstrations, creative workshops, collaboration areas, conference sessions and seminars designed to motivate and inspire. It will also feature areas dedicated to freelancers and marketing and communications professionals. The event will be free to attend and visitors will be able to book their places on seminars.

We have a number of high profiled speakers confirmed from huge brands including; Paddy Power, uSwitch, Virgin Trains, Everton Football Club, and the Cabinet Office. To take a look at out speaker line up here.

Over 2,200 people attended our inaugural expo in February 2016. In 2017, we expect over 5000+ attendees, who will be drawn from in-house marketing and comms functions to companies and agencies spanning Prolific North’s readership, through to professionals seeking to engage with the fast-growing creative and media sectors of the North.
