TCO Presents: The Future of Community event in London

There is an ever-growing need for connection, to feel part of something bigger than yourself. This is community, and community is what creates culture.

Brands are increasingly detached from culture, and desperate to make genuine connections with the people who buy their products or engage with their platforms. They are also recognising that a purely transactional relationship has ceased to be what’s expected of the brand / human dynamic. Concurrently, people are adapting to a new world order: one where divisive and false rhetoric sits in highest office and more money is spent on distracting content than environmental crises.

The Future of Community follows on from our hugely successful Beyond Brand Purpose: The Future of Brand Activism report and events series in 2019.

Join our breakfast event where we will open the floor for a conversation around how community creates culture, and how brands must fundamentally understand community in order to credibly play in it. Hosted by Andrea Kurland, TCO's Editorial Director and Editor-in-Chief at Huck, we will hear from a panel of experts, including Rhodri Evans, Levi’s Brand Content Director, Philippa Wagner, Head of insights and Innovation, 23Lab Ennismore and Poonam Dhuffer, YSM8 Founder.

TCO Head of Insight Helen Job will also highlight key trends from our latest white paper ‘The Future of Community: Facilitation not Appropriation’. This is your opportunity to learn from the key leaders in this field, with a live Q&A to answer any of your burning questions. 

Tickets include full access to the ‘The Future of Community: Facilitation not Appropriation’ white-paper and breakfast and refreshments.

Date: Wednesday 29th January 8.30-11.00am
