Digital Marketing World Forum Global London 2027

Digital Marketing World Forum Global is the London edition of a conference series that also runs a European event in November 2026 and a North American one in September 2027. The 2027 London edition takes place over two days, 5 and 6 May, at ExCeL London. The fetched official pages do not name the company behind the series. The audience leans senior. The organiser says it expects more than 3,000 attendees, mainly CMOs, marketing directors and other senior decision-makers at brands and agencies, and it states that 56% of those attending hold director-level roles or higher. On the supply side it lists over 200 speakers and more than 100 exhibitors. The programme is split into 10 tracks. The one closest to paid acquisition is Search, Media & Performance Advertising. Others deal with influencer marketing and creators, social media and community, AI-powered marketing including agentic AI and hyper-personalisation, data-driven marketing, and commerce, CX and loyalty. The remaining tracks cover content and video, brand and creative strategy, and digital transformation and leadership. Next to the stages sits a DMWF Learning Hub, where content partners such as LinkedIn, Reddit, AWS and the DMA run practical sessions. No 2027 agenda or speaker list has been confirmed yet, so names currently on the site may belong to an earlier edition. Three pass types are on sale. A single-day pass for either Day 1 or Day 2 costs £349 at the Super Early Bird rate, and the 2-Day All-Access Pass costs £399. That rate runs until 3 December 2026; bought on the day, the single-day passes go up to £849 and the two-day pass to £999. Teams booking more than five passes can ask for a group discount, and payment by invoice is possible on request. For affiliates and media buyers the fit is real but partial. This is a general brand and agency marketing show, not an affiliate conference, and gambling, crypto or lead generation are not named topics. The performance advertising track, the creator and social sessions and the platform-led workshops from LinkedIn and Reddit are the most relevant parts. The event suits e-commerce affiliates, agencies selling paid media services and buyers who want to meet brand-side marketing leaders rather than networks.
