From one market
to your next. What it really takes to win in the UK.

For this edition, we’re focusing on the UK, where competition is already world-class, buyers expect proof over promises, and average execution doesn’t land.
A half-day to break down what it takes to enter, win, and grow in this tier-1 market.
Real operators. Practical strategies. And direct access to the people behind them.

PARIS
ONLINE & IN-PERSON
An event for teams serious about the UK
Looking at the UK as your next growth opportunity?
The UK is mature, highly competitive, and unforgiving to weak positioning. Sharing a language doesn’t make it simple. Winning there takes more than surface-level localisation. It takes sharp go-to-market choices, real credibility, and a clear understanding of how buyers think.
At Next Market Live - UK Edition, you’ll hear from marketers, founders, and operators who know what entering the UK actually looks like in practice, across two expert-led sessions.
Come for the sessions. Leave with a sharper strategy, and the right people in your corner.
