From the presenter:

Every year Wonkhe's Jim Dickinson tries to find meaningful links between his two passions - students' unions and the Eurovision Song Contest - and at this year’s Marketing Conference he's finally able to go beyond putting Euphoria on in a training room.

Jim will explore marketing, belonging, meaning, community, performance and fandom - do bring flags.

Things you'll take away
