Still reeling from SPARK. ✨
From June 9–13, we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming the tCAN community to London for three incredible days of ideas, inspiration, creativity, conversation, and connection.
From expert sessions and agency conversations to shared meals, an office tour, Stratford views, and a gala send-off at Museum London, the whole week reminded us just how special this community is.
A huge thank you to every speaker, attendee, organizer, partner, and venue who helped bring the 2026 tCAN Conference to life. You showed up with curiosity, energy, and so much heart.
We’re grateful, inspired, and still feeling the spark.
tCAN Day 3 – and what a way to finish! Friday brought big ideas, a visit to the adHOME office, and a send-off we won`t forget. Here are the highlights:
1. Brent Hodgins of Mirren on AI and what it actually means to future-proof your agency
2. Everyone arriving at the adHOME office!
3. Touring the office! We loved opening our doors and showing this community what we`re all about
4,5. Lunch together before the afternoon wrapped up
6. Mark and Mary-Ellen give a brief history on the 130+ year old adHOME house!
7. Cocktails and an art gallery tour at Museum London to ease into the evening
8,9,10. We arrive at the tCAN Gala! The perfect ending to three incredible days.
An unforgettable evening at the Museum London wouldn`t have been possible without our event sponsor, Locala. 🥂
Locala helps brands plan, activate, and measure local campaigns at a global scale, getting the right message to the right audience, in the right place. We`re so grateful for their support of our gala dinner and for helping make the night one to remember.
