Say hello to @MadexExpo, #TheOriginalMarketingExpo.

Here, at the ultimate marketing, advertising, design and all that good stuff expo, you can get to grips with the business of creativity, become more in tune with the marketing world, bust the myths, and embrace the realities.

Be a part of marketing transformation in action. Breathe life into marketing matters.

Madex 2018 brought thousands of marketers together while providing an opportunity for advertising, marketing, design, PR and social media agencies to speak directly to their target audience from one place over the span of two momentous days.

What can you expect from the 2019 show?

We’ve got an interactive exhibition floor, tons of networking opportunities, a colour-in wall and more! Look for our brand-new Appreciation Stations, where we’re bringing snail mail back en vogue and allowing you to send your favourite marketing peeps a postcard - telling them how much you like them and why!

Aside from this, you’ll see the year’s hottest promotional goods in the New Product Display area, and inspirational seminars hosted within two theatre areas – the Fundamentals and the Marketing Academy – presenting more than 40 sessions in total, and featuring the industry’s trendsetters.

And, even more content will be available, through smaller, deep-dive workshops, covering those topics you need to get a better grip on
