"If there were one upskilling or learning event that I would commit to throughout an entire year, it would be Up Fest. The day is packed full of informative & actionable learning sprinkled with inspiring talks, delicious food & an inspiring and meditative setting. I'd highly recommend any fledling marketers or those seeking to remove themselves from their desk for a day to invest in themselves, sign up to Up Fest 2025."

"Up Fest was such a great day to escape from the city, to do lists and email inbox to spend time in nature meeting lots of great people. I left feeling energised and excited to take the ideas from round tables, talks and conversations into my day to day."

Imogen Lees
Marketing Director, Planes Studio
"Up Fest gave me the injection of curiosity and creativity I needed, right when summer is a bit slow and we needed to gear up to the September busyness. I left with new friends, ideas and partnerships to pursue. My inbox is full with new faces!"

Social Media Manager
Olivia Eve
"Up Fest was the best marketing event I've genuinely ever attended in my career - the location, the panel of talks, the location and most importantly the lovely people (both organising and attending) made it so relaxed and friendly so that you could really get the most out of everything, I absolutely loved it!"

Claire Millward
Founder, Block Digital
WOW. What a day. Up World truly is underpinned by a philosophy of showing kindness and being empathetic - i.e. being human. Everyone showed up as humans first, professionals second. There was little to no ego and as a result, people felt psychologically safe, which increased chances for learning and connection. I think that this day was modern day professionalism in its highest form - which is fascinating - because the setting was "not professional." An event like this should be a case study! In a world where one of the biggest business questions is "how can we get more out of our people?" - this event provided a lot of answers."

"Up Fest was absolutely brilliant. Every detail felt intentional and it was obvious that this event was organised by people who care about providing excellent value, and also wanted to offer something different from a typical event crammed inside an event hall."

Emily Dennis
Client Director, Born Ugly
"Up Fest was a breath of fresh air in the beige world of corporate events. I left feeling inspired, engaged, and connected. Highly recommend!"
