Calling all CMOs, calling all CMOs (come to Boston)

You’re a senior marketing executive. You go to conferences and get mobbed by vendors. Or, you get accosted by people who want to “connect,” meet for “coffee,” or ask for a job.

There has to be a better conference experience for senior executives!

This is exactly why VentureBeat created our Summit series of conferences.

While our Beats are focused on practicitioners and attract crowds of hundreds or thousands, our Summits are invite-only, senior executive only, and extremely limited and focused. In fact, we cap attendance at 180, and we carefully screen attendees to ensure we have the highest possible quality in the room.

We’ve done that for years for mobile executives. Now we’re including marketing execs.

It’s called GrowthBeat Summit, and it will be held for the first time in Boston, June 1-2, at the Langham Hotel. (You can apply for your ticket here.)

The goal is not a thousand sessions with a thousand different ideas on what you need to do, what new software you need to try, or the 25 new martech startups that you absolutely have to start meeting, immediately.

The goal is quality time with peers who have the same challenges and concerns you do — the same responsibilities, the same goals. To faciliate that, we do intimate boardroom sessions. We bring in a few keynote speakers — Scott Brinker, “Chief Martech” himself, will be there, among others — and we give you time to connect deeply with equivalent-level peers.

Harvard’s CMO will be joining us. So will the CMO of Xerox, John Kennedy, who has a mammoth challenge to change public perception on a storied and historic brand. The CMO of BirchBox, the hot beauty and grooming startup, will be there as well. Attendees include top marketing executives from the biggest American and global brands. Our advisory CMO Council includes the CMOs of Virgin America, TOMS, Old Navy, Dun & Bradstreet, and Green Mountain.

We want to see you there too, to have a voice with your peers. To share with them, learn from them, and help each other grow.

Apply here.

All senior marketing executives are welcome. CMOs sometimes come with the title of SVP, VP, CDO, or global head. We understand that. But we are looking for the senior marketing executive in your firm.
