Our picks: B2B Marketing Events 2024
B2B marketing conferences the top CMOs and RevOps professionals are attending
“What events are you going to this year?” said one B2B marketer to another. This conversation happens often internally, with our clients, on LinkedIn, and in our favorite B2B marketing communities. With webinars, virtual, and in-person events all over the world, the list and vetting process can be daunting. We thought we could fix that by sharing our top choices.
What gives us the authority to tell you what’s best? We’ve been there. We’ve sat through terrible presentations and have been deeply inspired by others (couldn’t you tell from our Inbound 2023 recap?). Plus, we work with top B2B marketing leaders across various industries. We hear what inspires them and what they would rather not invest in moving forward.
For businesses that want to drive demand, revenue, and innovation, you should have these B2B marketing events on your radar for 2024.
