Amsterdam Autumn 2026 Summit

The In-House Agency Leaders Club is back in Amsterdam for our Autumn One-Day Summit on 6 November.

Our One-Day Summits are restricted to senior brand-side leaders only, creating a ‘safe space’ for learning from and supporting each other. Throughout the day, you will hear from your fellow leaders about how they are tackling the major challenges facing brands today. Plus, you will hear from external experts as well as having the chance to contribute your own insights and ask questions of your peers in our group discussion sessions.
