We’re super excited about the upcoming MarTech conference — read about the all-access editorial program as well as the free Expo+ program — April 3-5 in the Bay Area. But we’ve also begun work on our next MarTech in Boston this fall. As we develop the agenda for that event, we’d love your help in […]

Our next MarTech conference in the Bay Area, April 3-5, is just a couple of weeks away. While I’ve written a lot about the editorial program for the paid all-access conference — amazing presentations by Aetna, Cisco Meraki, Docker, IDC, LUMA Partners, Netflix, The New York Times, Nordstrom, NPR, PwC, Zillow, and more — I’ve […]

Thank you to everyone who participated in our 2019 Martech Salary Survey. We’re analyzing the compensation data now, and we’ll release the full results at the MarTech conference in San Jose in just a few weeks.

Last week, I presented a webinar sponsored by the MarTech conference based on my analysis of the 3 trends driving the Second Golden Age of Martech: ecosystems, experts, and (citizen) engineers.

Tom will enlighten us as he makes us laugh at […]

Twice a year, I face a dilemma. Presented with hundreds of nominated speakers and topics for an upcoming MarTech conference, I have to choose only a few dozen to fit into a two-day, three-track event. It’s a dilemma for a couple of reasons. First, the vast majority of pitches we get from martech practitioners and […]

At first, martech and mindfulness would seem to be on opposite ends of the great mandala of life. Let’s face it, the two words don’t often come up in the same sentence. Or really even the same conversation. Mindfulness is a path toward peace. Martech is a path toward pandemonium. At least that’s the way […]

tl;dr There are three trends that are changing the nature of martech. They will catalyze the end of the “first golden age of martech” and lay the foundation for a second golden age that will be much larger, but likely look quite different. Ecosystems — instead of marketing cloud suites vs. best-of-breed point solutions, we […]
