I love speaking at marketing events!
And having spoken at all the big marketing events myself throughout the years, I can personally vouch for almost every one of the public speakers on this list. These are my favorites and the ones I look forward to hearing.
So if you’re a marketing event coordinator or responsible for internal marketing training and development, please consider all the men and women on this list and make sure the ladies get the credit and coverage they deserve.
