Who doesn’t like a good conference every now and again? They’re a great way to collaborate with your peers in the field, learn some new best practices, and most importantly, they’re a few days out of the office. Jokes aside, the occasional conference is a fantastic way to re-connect with like-minded professionals outside your company and share some insights of your own. This is especially important for marketers, whose job is focused so much on creativity and strategy. Taking notes from your peers is a great way to refine your own skills a bit.
The only caveat is finding one that fits your schedule and interest set. Not every conference is created equal, and sometimes the only way to find out if a conference is for you is to pony up for a ticket and go yourself. A risky investment, to be sure.
That’s why we have compiled this list of martech conferences that are going on around the country in 2019. The events listed below are home to some of the best and brightest minds marketing technology has to offer. If keynote speakers, professional workshops, and networking with your fellow marketers sound like your idea of a good time, you should probably start booking your hotel. Conferences are listed in chronological order.
