London's Influencers invited to elevate their game at the Home of Content
Being held on Tuesday 20 May, InfluencersLDN will see creators from a range of content sectors, covering a wide selection of social media and streaming platforms, spending the evening together for an enjoyable networking opportunity and the chance to hear powerful success stories and insights.
Speakers at the event will include:
Paul M.M. Cooper – YouTuber and podcast creator 1.36M subscribers on YouTube (@FallofCivilizations)
Ali Moore – Culture and history creator, brand strategist and agency professional @AliThomasGB – Instagram
Rupert Knowles – Tech and AI expert
For content creators, the evening also offers a rare opportunity to explore and post content from Stationers’ Hall, home to the Stationers’ Company, the City of London livery company for the content and communications industry.
The Stationers’ Company is a historic home of content. Between 1557 and 1923, the Company was where authors would register their creations for copyright; its archive includes the paperwork for some of Shakespeare’s plays and poems, amongst many other works.
Chair of The InfluencersLDN Neil Barrett said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming the capital’s creators to our hall. We can trace the roots of the industry back hundreds of years to what was being talked about right here, all that time ago. We’d love influencers, YouTubers, company social media managers and others in the field to feel at home with us as they hear some great stories, network and hopefully have some fun too.”
Part of the Stationers’ Company’s remit is to further the interests of the creator community, so InfluencersLDN is being run on a not-for-profit basis; the organisers and a number of commercial partners are donating their time, products and services to the event, including Bullards Spirits, Pentire non-alcoholic drinks and Oxygen Events.
Tickets for InfluencersLDN are on sale now at influencersldn.com, with a special early bird ticket price of £39 available until Sunday 20 April (usual price £49).
