Note: this is a past conference.
Marketing Festival 2025 is a three-day gathering in Brno, Czech Republic, designed for experienced marketers seeking strategic insight and practical skills.
Held from April 28–30 at the Janáček Theatre, the event features a main conference day with eight in-depth lectures and five rapid-fire MF Shorts presentations by renowned global experts like Mark Ritson, Zoe Scaman, and Tom Roach.
Alongside this, attendees can register for exclusive workshops covering topics such as brand strategy, campaign research, and AI automation, many of which are not typically available elsewhere. All sessions prioritize substance over hype and are tailored for senior professionals, particularly those in C-level, strategic, or analytical roles.
The festival balances high-level content with dynamic networking opportunities and a vibrant social program. Set in the walkable city of Brno, known for its strong gastronomy scene and welcoming atmosphere, the event also includes meetups, guided city tours, and nightly parties, culminating in a closing concert at Fléda Club.
With its focused audience, carefully curated speakers, and immersive setting, Marketing Festival offers a rare opportunity to unplug, learn from global leaders, and connect with peers across the marketing spectrum.
