This is my bi-annual call for leaders, practitioners, and pioneers across the marketing technology and operations community to send in proposals to present at the MarTech conference. Our next event will be in San Jose, April 15-17, and we’re accepting speaker nominations through November 8. The best way to truly master something is to teach […]

You’ve already read about the incredible line-up we have for paid all-access attendees at the upcoming MarTech conference, September 16-18 in Boston. (If you haven’t, check it out — you won’t believe all the top industry experts and leading brand practitioners who will be sharing their wisdom and experience in our keynotes and educational editorial […]

The MarTech conference is coming up next month — check out our big (and, whoa, I mean BIG) MarTech preview if you haven’t seen it yet.

Over the past year, chiefmartec.com has grown to more than 75,000 regular readers. I am deeply honored that you’ve taken the time to read […]
