Your favourite TV event is back.

It’s the must-attend event that brings industry leaders from brands, agencies and major broadcasters together. We celebrate everything from what makes TV special to how brands can drive growth and reach audiences more effectively.

TV advertising investment is set to return to growth in 2024 after a decline in 2023, so it’s more important than ever to come together to maximise the opportunities that data-driven technology brings.

TV: The Next Episode 2024, by Campaign in partnership with The Trade Desk, is a half-day event that takes place on 5 September 2024 at a beautiful new venue, with an enticing speaker lineup and a thought-provoking agenda.  

Join us for unrivalled insights, impactful conversations and excellent networking. There’ll be plenty of stardust, too, with our special guest, Iranian comedian and commentator, Shaparak Khorsandi.

You can join us in-person, at Nobu London (Portman Square)* or watch all of the content live from your desk.

*Space limited and senior brand and agency people will be prioritised.
