From a local meetup just five years ago to Europe’s leading branding conference, OnBrand has quickly become the ultimate meeting point for 1,800+ curious marketers and creatives. And this year will be no different. On October 10, industry leaders will come together in Amsterdam to discuss the trends set to shake up the future of branding as we know it.

As we’ll be celebrating our fifth anniversary this October, we’ve rounded up some of the best speaker talks and memorable quotes from the last 4 editions—along with 5 reasons why OnBrand ’19 should be the conference you attend this year.
