To learn about what is going on in the B2B space and how it can help my organization be more effective, efficient, up to date with technology, etc. To encourage that creative- meets-business side and learn about the challenges and new advancements within the industry. Relevant, resourceful, to be a better B2B marketer. Useful content. To keep up with the latest news and trends. Keeps me up-to-date. Good networking. Because there is nowhere else in Canada that I can get b2b learnings at this level.

8. ‘WHAT THEY LEARNED’ VERBATIMS  It was a good mix of theory and case studies: it's an amazing way to acknowledge the latest marketing trends and to understand how to apply it in your business. I found all of the speakers very informative and useful. The topics were relevant to what is currently going on in my marketing department, and it was great to get such actionable recommendations from the speakers. I would love to see more events, or maybe even a community develop, from this where marketers can connect and brainstorm ideas. Very good speakers, as a novice at B2B Marketing I learned a great deal. In line with our reality! Engaging, interesting, interactive, informative. There aren't many courses or professional groups dedicated to supporting marketers in the B2B world. I found most of the content valuable and also appreciated sharing thoughts and ideas with peers. Good learning experience and generally good quality presentations. Informative of current trends and technology that were relevant. I found it to be very informative and the speakers had interesting things to say. Great speakers—good insight about modern B2B marketing.
