Check out these 5 fantastic conferences for sales and marketing nerds all around the country!
TechCrunch Disrupt
Upcoming: December 7-8, 2015
Location: London, UK
Disrupt is a fantastic event for sales entrepreneurs because of the vast networking opportunity. Not only does the association with TechCrunch make this conference popular, it also has made a name for itself with multiple events per year that are held all over the world. The hackathon that comes at the end of the conference and all the new companies launching provides access to the ‘next big thing’. Not to mention, the opportunity to live-blog Disrupt would be a great addition to any company’s content strategy.
Sales Stack
Upcoming: November 10, 2015
Location: San Francisco, CA
Organized by Sales Hacker, Sales Stack focuses directly on sales for tech companies. Some of the masters in the field will be there, from Google to SalesForce. While this will be a great networking opportunity as well, Sales Stack will also be a highly educational event. The basics of sales and the theories behind success are easily found online or in books, but well executed strategy is best learned from the pros themselves. Luckily, aside from the long list of presentations on the day of the conference, Sales Stack will also be hosting a Workshop Day on November 9th. What better way to network and engage in hands-on learning at the same time?

B2B Marketing Forum
Upcoming: Unknown
