Over the course of the year, Masterclassing runs around 150 half-day events around the world at which brands hear from digital experts about the cutting-edge technologies and platforms that can help them take their digital marketing to the next level.

At the end of each event, the delegates are asked to give their feedback on each of the digital experts, based on what they heard from them in their presentation and round table sessions.
