The North deserves a stage.
Think you’ve got a story, case study, or IRL win the PPC world needs to hear? We want to hear from you – especially if you’re a practitioner with battle scars and strong opinions, not someone reading off a product roadmap.
Who we’re looking for
Practitioners (agency or brand)
Rising stars with something to say
Senior folks who still get their hands dirty
People with real examples, real numbers, real learnings
What we *don’t* book
- Vendor pitches
- Vague AI rambles
- Talks that could’ve been a blog
- Platform overviews you can Google
What makes a great PMCR talk
A real client story
A problem → process → result arc
Practical lessons people can use next week
Honesty - especially about what didn’t work
Slides that don’t look like a GCSE design project
Bonus points for having a client on stage
Accessibility & Inclusion
Performance MCR is for everyone. If you need access support or adjustments, tell us in the form and we’ll make it happen – from stage access to session formats.
What you get as a speaker
- Coaching from The Keynote Club
- A speaker community group
- Proper AV support
- A buzzing audience that’s actually listening
- A free ticket for you + one buddy
If you’re nervous – good.
Some of our best talks in 2025 came from people who’d never touched a stage before.
