Why this conference?
✅ Backed by Social Media Examiner, the world’s largest small-business marketing resource. Not an events company or a trade association.
✅ Pitch-free, no panels. Every speaker is personally recruited for real-world results, and no one sells from the stage.
✅ Built for how you work. Practitioners at your level, on your platforms, with your kind of budget, whether you’re a team of one or five.
✅ A community that gets you. Meetups, table talks by topic, and thirty-minute breaks make connecting easy, even if you’re an introvert.
“The sessions provided actual usable knowledge, not a sales pitch or high-level fluff. That’s so unusual to find in a conference and extraordinarily valuable,” said Holly Chessman.
