New sessions premier at 10am every Tuesday and Thursday from 18th January 2022

For the new series, we’ve decided to make Transform even more accessible.

Rather than hosting a full day of back to back sessions, we’ll be launching a series of fireside chats and panel discussions on a regular basis over the next few months.

We wanted to make Transform as flexible as possible, allowing you to dedicate a small amount of time each week to enhance your skills and transform both your career and business.

The event is set to launch with our very own COO, Ami Spencer, kicking Transform Series 2 off with an in-depth look at the changing landscape of retail, and the future of work. You can pre-register now to secure your seat for the series and be kept informed about session dates and times as they are confirmed.

Core Themes Of The Event

Transform aims to help both businesses and employees in developing their skills in order to succeed in the ever-changing business environment. There are three core elements that each session is based on that come together as part of the event.

Building Resilience

Learn how to inspire transformation by developing a mindset for growth.

Market Trends

Identifying the key themes that will drive future growth and success of a business and the retail market.

Smarter Connections

Bringing together ideas and inspiration, along with learning about the power of affiliate marketing. 

All episodes will premier exclusively in Webgains Academy where they can be streamed for free by our members

Take the time to transform with Webgains

This year, take time to Transform and learn. This is a time of huge opportunity. Right now, we have the chance to forge a better future. We’ve created Transform to support business and people development. We will be exploring quality of life in a world in constant flux.

The Improbable Death of Google

Anna Morrish – Director at Quibble
Jack Gillett – Digital Marketing Consultant

with Rob Atkinson – Digital Marketing Manager at Webgains

Recent changes in legislation (e.g. GDPR) have occurred as a reaction to the boom in digital channels. On May 25th 2018, the rules changed overnight. Mailing lists were deleted, consent boxes added, privacy policies rewritten and much more. This shift towards empowering the individual or consumer over their data has evolved into something bigger today. Not only do consumers want to own and protect their data, they want to be paid for it. The question is, how will this work? And will it work at all?
