Let’s ESco connect

ESco Connect was born in 2017 with a simple goal: to build stronger, more practical connections with our partners. It’s all about sharing innovation, insights, and, most importantly, opportunities.

This London-based, annual conference is led by us and designed around you – helping us and our partners stay aligned on our strategic direction, ensuring we continue to focus our development and resources where they’re needed most.

Connecting together, sharing ideas, steering our direction

ESco Connect is the highlight of the year, bringing our clients together for a day full of insights and networking. It’s a fantastic opportunity to dive into talks from leading experts, participate in engaging roundtables, and connect with others in the industry. We also provide updates from our team, sharing the latest developments and letting you steer our direction. Over the years, we’ve explored a variety of topics, including GDPR, subscription marketing, engagement and retention, and using data as a secret weapon, among others. It’s always a day of valuable learning and great conversations!

Connect with us, learn from leading experts and enjoy a little bit of bubbly

The fun doesn’t stop there, either. ESco Connect also brings our clients together, creating a space for sharing best practices and practical tips. It’s a hub for tackling the challenges faced by publishers and membership organisations today, and for growing your business with a little help from your friends – and always topped off with a glass of something bubbly, in true ESco style. There’s always a reason to celebrate!
