Walk and Talk for NABS 2026

Grow your connections and fundraise for NABS.
Join Walk and Talk for NABS and meet up with a new community of adlanders, all while raising money to help your industry, using a volunteer day to give back to NABS.
Expand your network, while having the opportunity to have relaxed conversations with colleagues, new connections and experts from the NABS team, or simply make the most of ‘being’ together in the fresh air.
Walking Route: This year’s route will take us from Canary Wharf to Tottenham Hale, through the Hackney Marshes and along the River Lea, finishing at one of Tottenham’s finest breweries – for a celebratory drink and some pizza.
Length of Route: 15km
Walk: 9:00am – 1:00pm
Lunch: We’ll be providing lunch and drinks from 1:00pm onwards, and we’d love for you to stay and spend some time together if you can. Feel free to linger, connect, and take the space you need.

Mentoring:
Following the success of introducing mentors to the walk in 2025, we’re bringing it back. We are offering all walkers the option to walk alongside experienced mentors from across our industry. Designed to give you space to think, connect and reflect.
This isn’t formal coaching or feedback. It’s just a walk and a conversation — a chance to listen, share and learn from people who’ve been there before. You’d be paired up with mentors such as;
- Natalie Bell, CEO at OMD
- Patrick Dolan, Head of Display and Audio, the7stars
- Stuart Flint, SVP at DoubleVerify
- Gaby Cornish, Client Investment Lead, Starcom
- Dominic Carter, EVP at News UK
- Kat Bozicevich, CEO at MG OMD
and many more… No scripts, no pressure – just a human conversation, grounded in fresh air, real stories and meaningful pauses.
You will be given the option to opt in to have a mentor on the walk, after you have booked, when giving your guest details.
