# Your guide to speaking at MarTech

## Tips, topics, dates, and more

Thank you for your interest in presenting at MarTech! Please read on to get a better understanding of what we’re looking for in regard to submissions.

**Content:** The speaker suggestions most likely to be accepted are those that tackle a meaningful topic at the intersection of marketing, technology, and management. We think of MarTech as a “graduate level” conference program. Most attendees are already familiar with the basics of digital marketing and are looking to take their strategy and practice to the next level; we love presentation ideas that are targeted at that level.

**Format:** We have a mix of panels and case study presentations, both are about 20 minutes in length. Please propose your session or panel idea with that in mind.

**A Word On Selling:** While we love marketing technology vendors and service providers, our audience is extremely wary of being “sold to” under the guise of an educational session. If you’re a speaker affiliated with such a company, please note that the bar is very high to convince us that your presentation won’t be interpreted that way. The best way to counter this is to either suggest a brand-name customer to speak on your behalf or pitch a joint presentation with you and that customer together.

We carefully review all ideas that are submitted. However, there are always more great ideas suggested than we have agenda slots available — so please understand if we’re not able to include yours in the program. We always keep great ideas and presenters in mind for future opportunities.

**These are the topics we typically cover at the event:**

- Account-based marketing
- AI and data/insights
- Analytics/marketing performance
- Content marketing/management
- Customer experience management
- Data management
- Digital asset management
- Email marketing
- Identity resolution
- Marketing automation
- Marketing operations
- Work management/agile marketing
