This was, hands-down, the best conference I've ever been to. Each speaker shared *real* and raw business stories. These weren't the typical thinly veiled pitches or humble brag tales. And they didn't share marketing tactics you could have easily Googled.
SparkTogether was a special event. What Rand, Amanda, and Casey created was nothing short of magical... and I go to a LOT of events.
They put a couple of hundred good humans together in a room for one of the best single track one-day conferences I've been lucky enough to attend.
Rarely do conferences live up to the hype. This one did. SparkTogether set the bar so high, and I'm already a HELL YES for next year.
Marketers shared authentic, vulnerable stories, including workplace failures, surprising wins, and revenue numbers they’re not posting publicly. Candid storytelling and confidential case studies like that aren't found on polished social media feeds.
[SparkTogether] was not a listicle event. The experience, in fact, resists summary of any kind. Because it was all so very rich and human. What marketing may claim/aim to be—but routinely fails to land.
The day-long SparkTogether conference will be in Seattle next fall (probably early October, exact date TBD). We'll also have two optional networking events. Photos of the 2024 event:
These brilliant folks shared their stories transparently and vulnerably in 2024.
