Our Spring Soirée returns on Friday 17 April 2026, and we’re heading back to the ever-popular Bank Restaurant in Brindleyplace for an afternoon of good food, generous conversation and a timely dose of insight.
Join us from 12.00pm until 4.00pm for a relaxed lunch with fellow members and guests from across the region’s media, marketing and advertising community.
Last year at the Spring Soirée, AI took centre stage. Unsurprisingly, it hasn’t gone anywhere. In fact, it has evolved quickly. This year, our sponsor MiQ is diving back in.
MiQ’s AI expert, Lavan Sornarajah, will deliver a practical, high-energy session exploring how marketers can put agentic AI to work in their day-to-day workflows. No theory overload. Just real applications, real use cases and clear takeaways you can apply immediately. You might even leave as a certified Agentic Systems Engineer.*
As ever, the Spring Soirée is about balance: great company, a spot of sharp thinking and a long lunch to match.
(*Certification status subject to interpretation.)
What to expect on the day:
Arrival drinks
A three-course lunch
A short welcome from the BPA
A focused insight session from MiQ
Charity raffle in support of Kids’ Village
Event details:
📅 Date: Friday 17 April 2026
🕛 Time: 12:00pm – 4:00pm
📍 Venue: Bank Restaurant, Brindleyplace, Birmingham
