As we approach the end of 2025, our team has been busy looking ahead to what the digital landscape holds for the new year. While we love connecting online, there is simply no substitute for getting together in the same room, sharing a coffee, and discussing the challenges and opportunities facing our industries.

We are thrilled to announce three brand new in-person events kicking off in January 2026. As always, these sessions will be held at our HQ in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. We will be serving up plenty of fresh insights along with our usual spread of breakfast and coffee from Pret.

Here is what we have coming up in Q1.

From the evolution of search behaviour in the housing market to the changing expectations of buyers and tenants, we will outline exactly where property marketers should focus their budgets to stay ahead of the curve. Reserve your spot here.

We will cover the latest updates to Google Business Profiles, the nuances of hyper-local targeting, and how to ensure your brand stands out when customers are searching in your area. Secure your place now.
