Top Marketing Conferences to Attend in 2025

Whether you’re an agency marketer or you’re looking to grow your own business, hearing from some of the top marketing experts can only be beneficial.

The good news is that there are plenty of high-quality marketing conferences taking place in 2025.

Why You Should Attend A Marketing Conference

There are plenty of excellent online resources to improve your marketing knowledge and skills. But marketing conferences offer unique benefits.

Even in 2025, nothing beats in-person conferences when it comes to networking. These events are your chance to meet like-minded professionals, learn from them and forge lasting connections.

Additionally, conferences offer a real breadth of perspectives. A course might have been put together by one expert, or a small team. But conferences provide insight from a whole range of marketing leaders on the very latest trends in the field.

Wherever you live, there’s a marketing conference for you in 2025, with events planned across the globe and virtually. I’ve compiled a list of some key dates.

Upcoming In-Person Marketing Conferences in 2025

Superweek

Starting in Budapest, Hungary, Superweek is one of the first marketing conferences of the year. It runs from January 27-31.

Designed for an international audience of digital marketers, Superweek hones in on marketing analytics. Among the speakers will be Danil Melnik of Semrush, co-presenting on how to scale up analytics as a company grows.

Superweek is the conference for marketers interested in analytics.

That’s one of more than 30 talks across the five days of the conference. Four-day passes cost €1,680 (around $1760) plus VAT, while access to the full five days costs approximately $1940 before tax.

ANA Creator Marketing Conference

One of the first US conferences of the year, the Association of National Advertisers conference takes place from January 29-30 in Santa Monica, California. It is being hosted at the Snapchat headquarters.

Pitched at creator marketers, the theme is how brands can use culture, industry trends, and new technology to make genuine connections with consumers.

Speakers include the Director of Creator Marketing at Mattel, the Senior VP of Global Marketing at Tinder, and the Head of Media at Honda. Registration runs until January 24, with tickets costing $999 for those who are not ANA members. Client-side ANA members can attend for free.

Digital Summit

Digital Summit hosts a range of events throughout the year. In fact, it bills itself as the largest marketing event series, putting on 1200+ sessions, workshops and seminars annually.

The next event comes in Tampa, Florida, from March 25-26. Speakers from companies including Spotify, Zillow, LinkedIn and YouTube will discuss topics including AI in SEO and advanced Google Analytics tips.

Other In-Person Marketing Conferences To Look Out For

Some conferences are confirmed for 2025, but with details set to follow in due course. I’ll update this article when new information arrives.

For now, here are some events I’m keeping an eye on.

Spotlight by Semrush

Semrush will once again host the Spotlight Conference in 2025. It’s always a highlight of the marketing calendar.

A lot gets packed into a single-day event. There will be 60+ speakers, 10 keynote presentations and 80+ mastermind sessions.

Attendees take in a talk at the 2024 Spotlight by Semrush conference.

Last year’s edition was held in Amsterdam on October 30. Details for 2025 will be confirmed in due course, but you can join the Spotlight waitlist now for updates and access to the best prices.

Festival of Marketing

The Festival of Marketing has confirmed a date for 2025: it will run on October 2 in London. Tickets will come out closer to the time, but you can register your interest now.

Speakers will also be confirmed in due course. Last year’s event featured a real range of presenters, including Deborah Meaden from Dragons' Den (the UK version of Shark Tank).

She was joined by Ucheora Obi-Wheeler (a Senior Brand Strategy Manager at HSBC) and Anton Du Beke from Strictly Come Dancing (the UK version of Dancing With The Stars).

B2B Marketing Expo

Marketing comes in many shapes and sizes, and the B2B Marketing Expo focuses specifically on business-to-business marketing. It will be held in London from November 19-20.

Like many of the 2025 conferences, it will address AI and its implications for the marketing industry. Speakers will also be discussing the evolution of the B2B marketing space, and the best ways to get creative.

More than 5,000 attendees are expected, along with over 100 exhibitors and 120 expert speakers. Further details are yet to be confirmed, but you can register your interest in attending.

Top Virtual Marketing Conferences 2025

Travelling won’t be convenient for everyone. And one positive lasting legacy of the pandemic is a thriving remote marketing conference scene, both in terms of dedicated events and virtual access options to physical conferences. Here are some online-only events I have picked out:

Global Virtual MarTech Summit

The Global Virtual MarTech Summit will take place online on February 19. Pitched at the APAC and EMEA regions, 20+ speakers will discuss technology advances within the marketing industry.

Unlike other conferences, this has the advantage of being completely free to attend. Attendees get live access to all sessions, and can continue to access online materials until February 23.

The Head of Data at AWS was among last year’s Global Virtual Martech Summit speakers.

You can also buy an on-demand pass for $39. As well as live access, this grants 3-month access to all materials.

DigiMarCon

With such a wide range of events throughout the year, DigiMarCon is one of the best when it comes to catering for everyone. That includes a range of virtual conferences, all of which are broadcast live before then being made available on-demand.

First up is DigiMarCon North America, which will run from April 3-4. Events pitched at different regions then run throughout the year, before the worldwide DigiMarCon At Home from November 5-7.

Virtual tickets are also available to most of DigiMarCon’s in-person conferences.

CreatorConf

CreatorConf is a virtual conference designed specifically for influencer marketers. It draws 5.000+ attendees from over 140 countries.

Held on December 13-14 last year, details for 2025 are still fairly sparse. But pre-registration is open.

Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, is among the notable former speakers.
