Frequently Asked Questions

CopyCon is organised by ProCopywriters: The Alliance of Commercial Writers. We’re a UK organisation dedicated to supporting copywriters and promoting our profession.

ProCopywriters was founded in 2012 by 2 copywriters who wanted to bring commercial writers together and provide support and networking opportunities for our profession.

Our primary goals are to educate, inspire and connect our audience.

Speakers are chosen for their experience and knowledge in relevant fields. We typically try to offer a blend of classic copywriting expertise, as well as some other adjacent fields to lead your mind in new directions and broaden your professional horizons.

All of our speakers are paid for their time. This means our speakers can focus on delivering a meaningful message, rather than needing to deliver a sales pitch.

We encourage mingling and new connections by creating networking zones within the venue, by nominating a handful attendees as CopyCon Connectors (to help introduce people to a new crowd) and by offering meetups and networking around the main conference.

Both in-person conference days are fully catered so you can focus on gathering ideas and inspiration, and getting to know the people around you.  

Your ticket includes access to an Extra Session. You can choose 1 of 4 online workshops as a bolt-on to your conference experience. These sessions give you a chance to delve deeper into interesting topics. 

All attendees also receive the CopyCon OnDemand Video Package, so you can rewatch your favourite talks. 

Everyone is welcome at CopyCon.

We’re organised by copywriters for copywriters, but we make an effort to broaden our reach into related fields. 

The talks cover a range of expertise levels.

If you work in advertising, marketing, digital or comms, then you’re likely to understand everything you hear at CopyCon.

Manchester is a buzzy cosmopolitan city – with an abundance of sights to see and experiences to experience.

We’ve documented a few of the highlights on our page about Manchester

Great question!

We’re moving to Manchester for 3 reasons:

1. Reduce ticket prices. Hosting high-quality conferences in London is exorbitantly expensive.

One of our goals with CopyCon is to welcome a wide range of people, and that includes freelancers and micro-businesses. Moving to Manchester allows us to drop prices by about £100.

2. Serve copywriters around the country. London is a wonderful place to be for major events, but as a national organisation we have an obligation to move around and meet our members where they live.

3. Change of energy. Moving to new places helps to inspire us to create new experiences, and we believe it will also inspire our audience in new and unexpected ways.

We hope you’ll give Manchester a try – we think you’ll love it!

Yes!
