CRAP Talks #32 - You Meta Believe It
CRAP Talks #32 - You Meta Believe It
For the second event of the year I'm excited to be hosting at the Meta Offices. We'll have 2 speakers and a fireside chat again. Details below with more to come closer to the time. **PLEASE NOTE:** Guests will HAVE TO SIGN UP to the event with first name and last name to be allowed into the building. If you're bringing someone with you, they'll need to register for the event as well. Registration will close 24 hours before the event. If you've not been to one of our events before then here is what you can expect. CRAP (Conversion Rate Optimisation, Analytics, Product) Talks is a cross-discipline event. We don't work in silos so why network and learn in silos. In the past we've had speakers from Data, Analytics, CRO, Product, Marketing, Data Science, Design and Research and so many more. If you work in tech, chances are you work cross-functionally, so come along and meet people doing amazing things in tech. **Hosts:** Meta **Venue:** Meta Brock, 10 Brock St, London NW1 3FG **Date:** 17/03/2026 6pm doors open Talks kick off at 630 Wrap up approximately 9:00pm. **Speakers:** * **Speaker Name:** [Tom Collingburn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-collingburn-7b7b5a16a/) \| [Tom Milne](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-milne-3422482b/) * **Title:** Senior Data Analyst \| Head of Experience Insights * **Talk Name:** The Measurement Dilemma: ITV's Long Term Holdout Group * **Talk Summary:** ITVX reaches more than 15 million viewers each month across web, mobile and 16 different TV applications. Our Product & Tech teams are rapidly expanding and updating the viewer experience to meet the challenges of an extremely competitive entertainment marketplace. But how do we know the cumulative impact of these Product changes is positive, in a content-driven business that is hugely influenced by competition and seasonality? In this talk we’ll show how we adopted a Long Term Holdout Group to answer this critical business question. We’ll share the technical successes, the inevitable hurdles, and the hard-won learnings we gathered along the way. * **Speaker Name:** [Igor (Iggy) Skokan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/igorskokan/) * **Title:** Director, Marketing Science, Meta * **Talk Title:** Measure What Matters with Incrementality * **Talk Summary:** Shifting consumer behaviors and the rise of formats with limited click opportunities like video have made the attribution models most advertisers rely on less effective. To capture a fuller picture of performance, advertisers must build a trusted suite of tools and methods to get closer to measuring incrementality, i.e., the true, additive value of their campaigns. This session covers how to build a practical measurement stack to estimate incrementality - the true impact of campaigns.. **Fireside Chat hosted by Parveen Downer:** * **Guest in the hot seat:** [Manasi Goel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/manasi-goel-9aba52a1/) * **Title:** Head of People & Culture at EE * **Talk Title:** Stop the Slop: Building a Real AI Builder Culture * **Talk Summary:** Most organisations are currently caught in the "AI Slop" trap: generating pages of meaningless text , chasing "10x productivity" myths , and seeing zero actual return on investment. But for product teams in mature, complex organisations (or most organisations for that matter), the real opportunity isn't about doing more work—it’s about doing better work. Join us for a candid, hype-free conversation on what it actually takes to integrate AI into the heart of a "legacy" organisation. We’re moving past the scaremongering and the "human-in-the-loop" clichés to explore how teams can "slow down to speed up". Forget the tech-bro manifestos. This is a session for those who want to build a career that is inspired, hopeful, and—most importantly—slop-free.

FULL - London Zoo | Photo Scavenger Hunt
FULL - London Zoo | Photo Scavenger Hunt
**On Sunday 22nd March, we're hugely excited to be heading to London Zoo for another wild afternoon of social fun.** Yep that’s right… we’ll be mixing things up and heading to Regent’s Park for London's foremost wildlife experience. However, not only will you have chance to get up close to the lions, tigers and penguins, but to spice things up - we’ll also be competing in teams in a fun and fast-paced Zoo-wide photo hunt 🦁 If you’ve never done a photo hunt before, it is similar to a scavenger hunt but instead of rather than searching and retrieving objects, you'll have to locate and photograph a number of animals. We've carefully curated a range of animals from the 750+ species in the Zoo and in teams, you will have around 2 hours in the zoo to find and snap as many on the list as you can to earn points. But that's not all… as there will also be a range of weird and wonderful **photo challenges** that you can complete along the way that can earn your team extra points 📸 When the time is up, we'll then head back to the pub for some drinks and the team with the most points will be announced as the winners, with prizes up for grabs. Best of all, entry to the Zoo on the weekend would normally set you back a sizeable £37, but we've managed to secure a **truly incredible discount - so that this whole afternoon is just £6.95pp ❤️** But as spaces as limited, availability for this may go quickly and so if you are keen, do RSVP as soon as you can! **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **WHERE/WHEN** Meet Point: The Broad Walk, Regent's Park, London NW1 4SX Exact Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/yQA6JgDhcZbRCQLx9 Closest Tube stations: Camden Town (10 mins walk), Mornington Crescent (15 min walk) Start Time - 1:30pm Finish time: 5:00pm \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- **JOIN THE COMMUNITY** Set up in November 2021, the project was set up to help 20s and 30s in London meet, connect and hopefully build life-long friendships. To help make this happen, we also host all kinds of events from free social walks, games evenings, day trips, social events, activity nights to picnics.

St Patrick's Day Party | London 20s and 30s
St Patrick's Day Party | London 20s and 30s
**St Patrick's Day is now fast approaching and we thought what better way to celebrate the luck of the Irish, than with our 4th Paddy's Day Party.** Yep that's right, we've gone big again and booked out a huge private space at one of our favourite pubs in Central London - so you can see in the Feast of St. Patrick in style. As part of the evening, we'll have a whole range of St. Patrick's Day themed games and activities to enjoy across the night - with prizes up for grabs. From our **Pot of Gold Hunt,** **Rainbow Races**, **Lucky Charms** **Challenge** \- there'll be plenty to get you in the spirit of the occasion 🌈 And of course, no St. Patrick's Day party would be complete without some fun and creative costumes, so make sure to break out your best green and gold attire and come prepared for a night of Irish-themed fun. And we will then end the night at **Popworld,** where we’ve secured FREE entry, should you wish to continue the night with some dancing, great tunes and pop anthems with your new friends. So whether you are new to our activities or a seasoned veteran, you are very welcome to join us for a night of shamrock shenanigans and a celebration of all things Irish. **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **ATTENDANCE FEE** Since we are now reaching capacity and have limited space at the venue and so any remaining spots require a small £3.50 fee to reserve your place. This is to ensure we don't have a large waitlist and the money of which will go towards the prizes on the night. **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **WHERE/WHEN** The Venue: The Tokenhouse, Moorgate, 4 Moorgate, London EC2R 6DA ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/6FZGTkjuxzhb7ft68](https://maps.app.goo.gl/6FZGTkjuxzhb7ft68)) Closest stations: Bank (5 Min walk), Moorgate (5 Min walk), Liverpool Street (10 Min walk) Start Time - 19:30 Pub Finish time: 23:00 **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **JOIN THE COMMUNITY** Set up in November 2021, our project is designed to help 20s and 30s in London meet, connect and hopefully build life-long friendships.

Wine Not? (Women Only)
Wine Not? (Women Only)
Wine Not? is a women-only gathering before the Balancers Saturday social. Most attendees come solo, so it’s an easy and welcoming place to meet people and settle in before the night gets busier. London can make meeting new people feel awkward, especially if you're coming alone. This early social creates a comfortable environment where you can chat, laugh, and get to know a few friendly faces first. Expect a relaxed atmosphere, a few light games, and plenty of time to connect naturally. Around **8.30 pm the main Balancers social begins**, and the room fills as over **150 people usually join the night**. Wine Not? naturally flows into the rest of the evening, so you’re welcome to stay and enjoy the full experience. Coming solo is completely normal. Our hosts will be there to help everyone feel comfortable, included, and connected from the start. **Check out our past events here:** **[https://www.instagram.com/_balancers/](https://www.instagram.com/_balancers/)** **Want to stay in the loop?

That’s completely normal here. 🔹 Our hosts are on the floor helping people meet and get involved. 🔹 Most attendees join through our app, so the Meetup “Going” list represents only a small portion of the actual crowd. **[📲 Download our app](https://onelink.to/balancers)** You can connect with people you meet, access ticket deals, track rewards and see the photo gallery from the night. **[💬 Join our WhatsApp Community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IJKXDkwUTlmDsYTOCIUg7O)** for last-minute updates and reminders. **Our pillars are Openness, Respect, Inclusivity, Kindness and Authenticity**. *Attendance at this event is subject to our [Code of Conduct](https://www.balancers.app/code-of-conduct) and [Terms of Service](https://www.balancers.app/term-of-service).

Friday night social: Let's go to scene 75!
We’re heading back to Scene75 on Friday, March 27 for a high-energy night of laser tag, mini golf, go-karts, arcade games, and whatever chaos we decide to get into. We’ve done this one before and it was a blast — great turnout, tons of laughs, and just the right mix of competition and hanging out. If you missed it last time, this is your shot. 🎯 What to Expect: Laser tag battles Mini golf challenges Go-karts (for those who need speed) Arcade games & game cards You can load however much you’d like onto a game card. Most people will probably be good with $15–$30, but it’s totally up to you. This is a super casual event — show up, jump into whatever looks fun, rotate groups, and hang out. No pressure, no complicated structure. Just a solid Friday night with good people. Also… I haven’t hosted in a bit and I’m making a push to be more active again. If you’ve got ideas for future events you’d love to do, bring them. I’m all ears. Let’s run it back. 🔥
