The role of the
44 Club is to inform and inspire those individuals starting out in the advertising industry.
We do this through organising a programme of events designed to complement the formal training offered by the IPA and member agencies. One that is representative of all disciplines within the industry. It offers access to high profile and influential people and thought-provoking topics through a series of fun and informative monthly events across the year.
Details of the next 44 Club event can be found

Tickets for all events are available at £20 per person + VAT to member agencies and to non-members (payable in advance) at £40 + VAT per person.
