Live from Hartford, it’s IMPACT Live!
If you weren’t in the room or watching on Facebook this afternoon, the first day of IMPACT Live was certainly one worth talking about.
To kick-off the SNL-themed event, attendees (marketing and sales leaders from across the country) were surprised with an original “cold-open” skit filmed on-location at our venue and starring several members of the IMPACT team.
While there was a great deal of excitement to be had all day, the biggest highlight had to be the announcement of IMPACT Live 2018.
IMPACT Live 2018 Free For All to Attend
Taking place at Infinity Hall in Hartford on August 6th and 7th, 2018, IMPACT Live 2018 will welcome back Marcus Sheridan as well keynote speakers:
- HubSpot co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Dharmesh Shah
- Best-selling author and Chief Content Officer at MarketingProfs, Ann Handley
It will also be -- *drum roll please* -- free for all to attend.
That’s right; both days of the event will be free for marketing and sales leaders like you to enjoy, no ifs or buts.
Free? Are You Crazy?
Perhaps -- but there’s a method to our madness.
When it came to IMPACT Live 2017, we wanted to create an intimate, exclusive event for marketing and sales professionals to unite, bond over common pain points, learn the skills needed to over and grow, and have a damn good time, which we did.
What we learned quickly, however, was the price point became a barrier for many in small and medium-sized organizations. So, we knocked it down.
At IMPACT, helpfulness is a core value. We want to help our readers, clients, and prospects grow their businesses as much as possible, not bar them with an unrealistic price tag.
Budget is a concern for everyone (including us) so next year, we’re eliminating it to help make sure you’re here!
