Past Events

MAD//Fest 2025

MAD//FEST London 2025 was a great one packed with networking opportunities, reconnecting with industry faces, and all the hottest insights.


For Limelight, this was our first time partnering with the event, as we co-hosted inside an XL Beach Hut alongside The Digital Voice™ and their client partners. There was a real buzz about the booth, as all five companies welcomed clients and prospects to chew the hashtag#adtech fat. 


In between meetings, our team of 10 made the most of the opportunity to catch up on the sessions running across the site, and our Co-Founder and CRO James Macdonald took to the DigiAds stage for the hot debate: Humans or AI?  Dive in to our page to find our takeaways, multimedia and check out the full panel.
