About The BIGDEBATE

You'll rub shoulders with the biggest names and brands in FMCG, soak up new skills and enjoy meaty, relevant networking opportunities - tailor made for YOUR business.

This is a priceless opportunity to access exclusive content - whilst making critical connections and gathering ideas from business owners just like you.

You'll get expert views on the big debating points of our time … like these:

- What lies ahead - prosperity or austerity?
- Will the market fragment or consolidate?
- Is consumer loyalty a thing of the past?
- Have we learned the right lessons from shifting shopping behaviour?
- Can big companies react quickly enough to stay relevant and competitive?

And you'll have the chance to give your verdict and hear from your peers through instant audience polling.

WHAT MAKES THE BIGDEBATE DIFFERENT?
You asked for straight-talking content that gets to the heart of the matter. More face-to-face time. More debate and more solutions.

So this year, we've shaken things up.

We've cherry-picked our speakers (and sweet talked them into sharing big ideas). We've rolled in even more industry heavyweights. We've built in themed networking.

And because your time is precious, we've developed an app to help you see and do more.

In fact, we've revitalised our entire programme, to cram in more actionable takeaways and more bang for your buck.

So we're waving goodbye to the IGD Convention and ushering in the BIGDEBATE.

IN A NUTSHELL...

- Highly VALUABLE insights you won't find anywhere else
- HONEST fluff-free viewpoints from industry leaders
- A brisk pace allowing us to bring you real BREADTH of opinion
- Theme based networking for EFFECTIVE relationship building
- Actionable IDEAS to take your business to the next level
