Seminar 1: 10.30-11.00: Scroll stopping social media: How to stand out from the crowd
In a world where feeds are crowded and attention spans are shrinking, how do you make your content stand out? We will explore the principles behind truly scroll-stopping social media: what captures attention, what holds it, and what drives action. You’ll hear practical insights on cutting through the noise, from crafting compelling hooks and visuals to understanding platform algorithms and audience psychology. Learn what separates high-performing content from the rest, and how to apply these strategies to your own brand or business. Perfect for marketers, founders, and anyone looking to elevate their social media presence.

Seminar 2: 11.30-12.00: How to Use AI to Scale Your Marketing
AI is everywhere right now, but most businesses are still stuck between curiosity and confusion. There’s a Wild West of hundreds of tools claiming to save you time but in reality just adding to your stress. This session cuts through the noise and shows how small and mid-sized businesses can use AI tools to do more with less - from content creation and customer research to campaign planning. No jargon, no hype - just real examples of how AI can save you time and help your marketing punch above its weight.

Seminar 3: 12.30-13.00: Scaling Up: Avoiding the Hidden Traps
Scaling a business is exciting, but it’s also where many organisations quietly lose momentum. As teams grow and demands increase, hidden people and leadership challenges can emerge, slowing progress and impacting performance. This session explores the often overlooked pitfalls that emerge during periods of rapid growth, and how to navigate them effectively. You’ll gain insights into building the right leadership capabilities, maintaining culture during growth, and ensuring your people strategy keeps pace with your ambitions. Learn how to spot early warning signs, avoid costly missteps, and lead with clarity through periods of change.
