DEPT® has launched Future Club, a private, invitation-only community created with founding partner The Marketing Society for senior marketing and technology leaders who are actively shaping the future of their organisations and the industry.
Future Club is designed for executives making long-term decisions around growth, operating models, and emerging technologies. Rather than panels or public programming, the network centres on small, closed-door discussions where members can pressure-test decisions with peers facing the same trade-offs, often months before those shifts become visible across the industry. Topics include LLM-driven discoverability, AI-native ways of working, and new service models.
"If you've experienced a DEPT® event before, you'll know we approach things differently," said Jack Williams, SVP growth, EMEA at DEPT®. "From our own festival, to the DEPT® Garden in Cannes, we've always believed that meaningful connection drives growth. We work with incredible people across the industry globally, and we're in a unique position to connect leaders who wouldn't normally meet. Future Club is about creating those connections and building community over time."
The community will be open to selected leaders around the world and will come to life through a small number of carefully curated experiences, including intimate dinners, breakfast salons, and cultural gatherings, often timed to key industry moments such as CES, Cannes Lions, OMR, and Shoptalk. Members also have exclusive access to DEPT®’s offices in New York, London, Berlin, and Amsterdam, as well as a private online platform to continue conversations between meet-ups.
Sophie Devonshire, CEO of The Marketing Society, added, “The Marketing Society is proud to be a founding partner of the DEPT® Future Club, a collaboration built for marketers who mean business. Together, we’re creating meaningful connections, deeper insights, and opportunities that drive the future of marketing.”
Membership is limited and available by invitation and application only.
