Marketing Leaders Programme Alumni Dinner 
 
8 October
7.00pm
Shell HQ, London

Join us for a dinner to celebrate the success of the Marketing Leaders Programme, which our sponsors, Shell, has kindly agreed to host at their London HQ on the South Bank.

The guest speaker will be Martin Glenn, chief executive of Birds Eye Iglo, who has agreed to give us his view of marketing leadership and in particular what he expects from a marketing director. Martin is a Fellow of the Society and one of the UK’s most admired marketers having led a brilliant period of growth at Pepsico where he was in charge of Walkers, Tropicana, Quaker and Pepsi.

This should be a most enjoyable opportunity to hear an inspirational new angle on marketing leadership, to catch up with fellow alumni and speakers, to hear about how the Programme is progressing and also enjoy the fantastic view of London that the Shell HQ provides.

Book your place today by calling the Events Team on 020 8973 1360 or email.
