The UK media industry’s most important annual conference on 18-19 May will examine the unprecedented uncertainty facing brands in the era of Trump and Brexit and that has an added urgency now Theresa May has called a snap General Election.

The theme of this year’s Media360 is Transform and Unite as businesses must embrace digital transformation and work together to find ways to cope with the fast-changing media and political landscape.

Philippa Brown, chief executive of Omnicom Media Group UK, is chairing the two-day event at The Grand in Brighton.

There are more than 50 speakers from leading brands, agencies and media owners, including: Alistair Macrow, chief marketing officer of McDonald’s UK; David Pemsel, chief executive of Guardian Media Group; Syl Saller, chief marketing officer of Diageo and Kelly Williams, managing director of commercial at ITV.

Other brands due to attend include BT, Burberry, Barclays, BP, Johnson & Johnson, Nestle, P&G and Red Bull.

There will be unrivalled opportunities to talk and network. Media360 includes a cocktail reception at the top of the 138-metre-high British Airways i360 tower, in partnership with Teads, and entertainment from the Brighton Fringe over dinner.
