Performance MCR

The North’s biggest day out for PPCers who are sick to death of London prices, vague AI panels, and events where everyone pretends they don’t check LinkedIn 12 times a day.

Events list

Performance marketing has changed.
The conferences… mostly haven’t.

Performance MCR is the antidote to shiny decks, vague “growth frameworks”, and people selling you a dream they’ve never actually implemented.

This is a one-day, Northern, straight talking conference built for the people in the trenches - the ones shipping ads, fixing tracking, battling creative fatigue, and trying to make budgets behave.

No sales pitches.
No useless panels.
Just proof, practice, and proper community.

What you’re getting (aka: why it’s worth your diary space)

A full day of case-study-led talks from practitioners who can show the receipts.
Tactical takeaways you can use next week (not “think pieces” you’ll never action).
Big energy networking - the kind where you actually meet people, not just collect lanyards.
A proper Northern welcome (no velvet ropes, no “invite-only” nonsense).

And yes… we’re making it fun.
More play. More interaction. More “wait, that was actually useful.”

Who it’s for

If you work in (or around) performance marketing and you care about doing it well:

  • In-house marketers trying to drive growth without getting rinsed by platforms
  • Agency teams who want sharper strategy, better creative, better outcomes
  • Freelancers, consultants, and teams of one who need fresh thinking + community
  • Founders who want to understand what’s working (and what’s noise)

Basically: if you like honesty over hype, you’ll fit in.

What your ticket includes

  • Full access to Performance MCR 2026 (all talks + sessions)
  • Networking breaks built for actual conversations
  • Access to sponsor activations that aren’t just “scan a QR code and hope”
  • Post-event follow-ups (so your notes don’t die in your iPhone)
  • The warm fuzzy feeling of backing a conference that backs the North

(Afterparty + fringe details will be shared closer to the event - but yes, we’re doing it properly.)
