BIMA Manchester Roundtable Breakfast: Brands & Agencies

Join an exclusive, invitation-only breakfast roundtable bringing together senior leaders from brands and agencies across Manchester.

Hosted at The Ivy, this session is designed to create space for open, honest discussion around the topics shaping brands and agencies today. Held under Chatham House Rules, it offers a trusted environment to share perspectives and explore common challenges without judgment.

The conversation will centre on intellectual property, commercial models, and evolving regulation, alongside the growing influence of AI examining how these factors are reshaping ways of working, ownership, and value exchange between brands and agencies.
This is not a panel or presentation, but a facilitated discussion among peers. An opportunity to step back and engage in meaningful dialogue with others navigating similar challenges.

Why attend?
Connect with senior leaders across brands and agencies
Share experiences in a confidential, discussion-led setting

  • Gain perspectives on IP, commercial structures, and regulation
  • Explore how emerging factors, including AI, are influencing the landscape

In partnership with Brandsmiths
This session is supported by Brandsmiths, a specialist law firm focused on intellectual property, commercial law, and dispute resolution. Working with both brands and agencies, Brandsmiths advises on everything from IP ownership and protection to contract structuring and commercial strategy, helping businesses navigate an increasingly complex and fast-moving landscape.
