Summits like Incite Marketing are where we can gather and meet the faces, names, and motivating factors that give form to the community we’re all a part of… We are all in the process of redefining the very basics of what it means to be a marketer and to be a brand. A transformation like that can only be achieved with clarity by moving through it together.

I’ve worked in tech in Silicon Valley for 15 years and am very aware that I operate in a bubble, and the only way to break out of that bubble is to consciously connect with those outside of it. In this constantly changing landscape we are operating in as marketers, learning from those with different perspectives has never been more important.

Connie Chan Wang, Director, Global Brand Marketing, LinkedIn

Our field is rapidly changing, and one of the most effective ways to keep up is to learn from peers. It’s also valuable to take a step back and remove yourself from the day-to-day minutia of the job to see the forest for the trees.

Alex Weinstein, SVP, Growth, Grubhub

As marketers, we all have both shared and unique experiences within our companies, verticals and even channels. Attending marketing summits, like Incite, allows us to learn from one another and discover how we can apply the latest technology and best practices to our own work. Learning from one another is how we better experiences for our customers and results for our companies.
