Marketing conferences in North America, 2027
North American marketing conferences are larger and more expensive than most European events. Many are run by software companies (HubSpot, Salesforce, Adobe), which makes them excellent if you use the product and less useful if you do not.
Independent events such as MAICON, Content Marketing World and Social Media Marketing World cover a discipline in depth, and analyst events (Forrester, Gartner) suit senior leaders who want frameworks and benchmarks.
