"Growth Under Pressure", a 1-Day B2B Conference hosted by Marketbridge (In-Person Only)

This event is over.

Mounting competition. Evolving customer expectations. Mounds of data. Fragmentation and silos. And behind it all, intense pressure for measured accountability. The unprecedented complexity facing modern marketing leaders is making it harder than ever to gain market momentum and drive sustainable growth. As we enter the final run of 2024, leaders must make moves to make gains on EOY numbers and set a course for a profitable future.

It’s an intense time in B2B, but those who have the appetite for change and the courage to think holistically and take action will be rewarded. This event will show C-level leaders and their marketing teams what it takes to wrangle and overcome complexity, and accelerate performance in 2024 and beyond. Topics and areas of curiosity for the day include GTM transformation, AI, behavioral science, data science and marketing measurement.
