TakeItOffline (or ‘TIO’) is an expert-led Digital Marketing Roundtable event that ditches the screens in favour of having real face-to-face conversations and community interaction.


Co-organised by Gerry White, Tom Bourlet, Michelle Wilding-Baker and Andy Veal, TIO started off as a humble pub-based roundtable session in Brighton back in November 2016 and since evolved into a social event filled with specialist panels, talks and unconferences. It has also expanded exponentially in reach across the UK and Europe, gracing London, Brighton, Leeds, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv and Sofia just to name a few hosting cities.


TIO events are relatively informal and have always been designed for like-minded individuals to meet, engage, share, learn and problem solve together. You’ll get the chance to participate in workshops and expert-led sessions, network with professionals and hear from industry leaders. Attendees span all experience levels, though TIO encourages specialist leaders to tackle their disciplines and get the audience talking. We’re also renowned for unconferences - attendees have the option to request topics or even deliver smaller fireside adhoc sessions themselves.


Whether you're a marketeer, SEO specialist, analyst or simply interested in digital marketing, TIO is perfect for you. Common discussions include but are not limited to exploring content and technical SEO, data, AI, analytics, brand, acquisition, paid search, growth marketing and more.


Past guest speakers include Barry Schwartz, Aleyda Solis, Barry Adams and Jono Alderson. Despite name dropping, the real star of TIO is you.
