The DNA of Digital Summit
Since our humble beginnings in 2008, Digital Summit has strived to be the place for immersive training & networking for digital marketers.
It's a nice sentiment, but what does that really mean for you?
Like the DNA flowing in your cells or the job experience on your resume, the impact of Digital Summit on the marketing community is unique and shaped by where we came from. Our goal is simple: be the most impactful and affordable in-person marketing training that comes to your backyard.
Large, inpersonal MarTech and user conferences headlined by celebrities abound in today's marketplace.
Don't get us wrong, we love what they do. But when you're expected to spend a full month's ad spend just on your registration, flights and hotels, the majority of the 350,000 marketers just in the United States will never be able to make a case to get that cost approved.
So we set out to do something better.

Marketing Managers
These marketers focus on everything from print, to digital to trade shows. Many consider themselves generalists rather than experts (out of sheer necessity in their roles). Budgets are a large part of their struggle, making as much magical content as they can in a cash-strapped position.

Typically coming with their team, marketing executives at Digital Summit will focus on networking, speaking with vendors, and attending sessions relevant to growth areas needed on their team. These executives report back that they enjoy sessions that discuss team building, leadership, coaching and similar topics to continue their development as leaders.
Agency Account Executives
