Midlands Media Mingle — 'Behind and Beyond the BPA' with Penny Took

£0.00

Thursday 24 September 2026, 4:00pm to 6:00pm

We're delighted to welcome Penny Took, CEO of Mediaplus Connect, current BPA President, IPA Regional Head and one of the Midlands' most respected media leaders for a ‘fireside chat’.

With more than 30 years of experience in the industry, Penny has helped shape the region's media landscape while championing talent development and industry collaboration through her work with the BPA and IPA.

As Penny prepares to retire from Mediaplus Connect at the end of September, this event offers a unique opportunity to hear reflections from an outstanding career, gain insights into how our industry has evolved over the decades, and pick up valuable advice for the next generation of media and marketing professionals.

There couldn't be a more fitting way to launch our new Mingle features, Behind the BPA and Beyond the BPA.

As part of our BPA Midlands Mingle events, these new features are designed to help members get even more from the BPA. Behind the BPA will give members the opportunity to get to know the people running the Association, hearing directly from members of the BPA Leadership Team about their roles, priorities and vision for the future. Alongside this, Beyond the BPA will bring industry leaders and experts into the spotlight, sharing their career journeys, lessons learned and advice for those looking to develop and progress within the industry. We will choose one of these per event to spotlight alongside the sponsor's presentation. 

It’s FREE to attend and no payment details are required but please do register via our payment gateway so we can keep track of attendance numbers.

Want to take the spotlight?

Our planned event sponsor has had to move their support to a future Midlands Mingle, which means a sponsorship opportunity has unexpectedly opened up for 24 September.

If you'd like to put your business in the spotlight in front of the Midlands media, marketing and communications community, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch to discuss the opportunity.
