The Death of Lead Gen
Legends Ballroom D
Form fills are down, buyer trust is harder to earn and the old lead gen playbook is producing fewer inbound opportunities than ever. In this workshop, we’ll unpack what’s changed in how B2B buyers engage and why “more leads” is no longer relevant. Learn how to shift from lead capture to value creation, identify signals, prioritize the right contacts and use account intelligence to generate better conversations.

The MDF Money Sitting in Your Vendor Contracts: How to Maximize Your Marketing Budget
Legends Ballroom D
Sixty percent of vendor marketing dollars go unused every year. Meanwhile you're always scraping for more marketing budget. In this workshop, we'll cover how to get more marketing development funds (MDF) to fund your marketing, understand what programs are worth pursuing, and how to get the most out of it without making it another full-time job. Attendees will leave knowing how to turn unused funds into real marketing dollars that drive pipeline, not just another line item spent on an event with nothing to show for it.
Presenter: Laura Johns, Founder & CEO, The Business Growers |
| 3:00 p.m.-3:45 p.m. |
Navigating Communications When the Opposition is Attacking
Legends Ballroom D
