This summer, Sheffield DM is going bigger than ever!
We're so excited to start sharing details of this summer's event - it's safe to say this will be our best one yet. Following the brilliant reaction to last July's Sheffield DM Goes Large, which attracted over 100 marketers from all over the country, this year we've set our sights higher still.
Multiple stages
Prestigious Sheffield venue
Our best-ever speaker lineup
We have a huge venue upgrade in The Octagon Centre (part of the University of Sheffield campus) which will allow us to run multiple stages for the first time in our history - and we already have an incredible line-up of some of the best names in digital marketing confirmed. We'll be welcoming marketers at the top of their game across SEO, marketing strategy, Social and Paid Media, plus some insightful panels packed with experts. More on that front soon too!
Sheffield is a hotbed of marketing talent - our community's growth over the past four-and-a-half years from small-scale meetups at a train station pub to sold-out events at the Workstation proves that. It's time to put our city firmly on the map as a leading UK digital hub - and this year's edition is our first step to creating an annual marketing event the North can be proud of and which rivals those in the South.
We're releasing 50 Early Bird tickets at £75+VAT, before the regular tickets go on sale at £100+VAT in late May.
👉 50x Early Bird tickets now on sale - get in quick, cos we're expecting them to go fast! 👈
NB: Sending the whole gang and want to buy more than 5 tickets`? Drop us an email (hello@sheffielddm) or DM us on Twitter and we'll see if we can sort a bulk discount.
Speakers

This will be Stephen's second Sheffield DM talk - his first, a Digital PR masterclass in 2021, ranks among our best-ever talks according to multiple Sheffield DM regulars! He also cofounded SearchLeeds, the major Northern marketing conference which ran from 2016-2019 and has been a huge inspiration to our team.
One of our three headliners, Stephen's talk will draw on what he's learnt from building digital businesses - we can't wait!
