Dave Gerhardt
VP of Marketing, Drift
The world’s fastest growing companies are using chatbots to generate leads 24/7/365 — but much of Conversational Marketing is still a myth to the majority of marketers. This session will shatter the myth and provide practical insights that can turn your website into a world-class showroom that provides every visitor with an experience that leaves them feeling like a VIP.
Jeff Rummer
Director, Marketing Operations, Medtronic
Love at First Sight, Being Saved, Conflict, Sacrifice, and Ego. These are themes in any good love story. If you paused to look at your ABM efforts, you might see some similarities. This session will reveal the most common mistakes marketers (Jeff included!) make with ABM and provide solutions to help you avoid them.
Dom Lindars
VP, Product, Demandbase
The morning keynote will provide a taste of Demandbase’s latest innovations and this session is the place to get a glimpse behind the curtain.

Elle Woulfe
VP of Marketing, PathFactory
Although the goal of ABM is to deliver highly-relevant messages to key accounts, most marketers struggle to personalize content in a way that is meaningful for buyers. In this session, learn how to attack ABM in a new way, by surfacing the most relevant content that buyers need (right when they need it) and getting more from the content investments you’ve already made.
Jessica Fewless
VP, ABM Strategy, Demandbase
From creating the ABM category, to educating over 3,000 marketers on the principles of ABM, Demandbase has seen and heard it all over the last six years. This session will uncover lessons learned from the 100s of companies we’ve worked with on the road to ABM success and provide a preview of how ABM will evolve as the market matures.

The shift from “MQLs generated by hand” to “MQLs generated by machine” is happening before our eyes. Today’s B2B marketers are embracing AI, machine learning, and supply chain automation as the foundations for continuous improvement.

Jessica Fewless
