“Everything I learned about Facebook ads, I learned at a Smart Marketer event I attended in San Diego in 2016… I still remember the session on Facebook Ads—it was so good. The applause was so loud. That night… I went back to the lobby of the Westin and redid a bunch of my ads. By the end of the conference, my business had changed.”

Most marketing events are just a firehose of content...
And you’ll enjoy some incredible sessions at this event, too. But you can only sit and listen to people talk for so long before your brain starts to feel soggy.
That’s why Smart Marketer Live is going to be different. We’re prioritizing: fun, connection, wellness, and tailored advice to give you a 2-day experience unlike any other!
SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONORS
An event space that motivates, energizes & inspires.
At this event, you won’t be sitting in a dry conference room that drains you of energy and creativity. That’s because we’re hosting Smart Marketer Live at the Denver Art Museum: an architectural marvel that’s sure to make you feel motivated, energized and inspired.

Every major leap I've taken in my career can be traced back to a live event:
- A mentor or business partner I met...
- A tactic or strategy I learned...
- Or just a moment of inspiration I had.
When you step away from your daily routine and surround yourself with cool people and exciting ideas, awesome things tend to happen.”

Smart Marketer Live revitalized my enthusiasm for my business and showed me new ways to create profit. I’m leaving with an expanded horizon as a dynamic leader—such an amazing week! being able to list a business for sale and then getting it acquired.

Who Should Attend?
We’re bringing together marketers and business owners from all corners of the industry — including our closest friends, biggest inspirations & most enthusiastic community members.
Smart Marketer Live isn’t open to just one size or type of business: this event is for ALL marketers who are fun, curious, passionate & motivated.
Meet and learn from like-minded business owners, and get a tailored action plan for growing your brand from our industry experts.
Learn how we’re using these exact strategies to drive record growth for a number of our agency clients.
Escape the loneliness of the daily grind and connect with a community of awesome people who love marketing just as much as you do!
Learn the newest strategies for growing brands across different markets and industries (and maybe even land a few new clients!).
Spend 2 days with us, and you’ll return to work with a trove of ideas to help skyrocket your department (and wow your boss).
Most events are male-dominated, but at Smart Marketer our audience is half women. Come be a part of our inclusive community that advocates for equality and supports women in achieving success.
It’s hard to connect at your typical marketing events. That’s why we built in structured activities to make it easier to meet new friends and have inspiring conversations.
Leave with a personalized, detailed action plan.
Yes, we’re going to have a great time. And yes, you’re going to connect with a ton of incredible marketers and business owners.
But above all you’re going to leave with a detailed action plan, the knowledge to execute it, and the support & motivation to see it through.
- Solve your biggest problems with the help of Industry Experts.
- Discover where you should focus your time & energy in 2026.
- Get a full tactical playbook covering every high-impact department.
- Establish a strong network of new friends, mentors & collaborators.
- Level-up your business mindset to stay focused & motivated as you grow!
It’s really important to have a soundboard of like-minded business owners to just get some of the stuff out of your head...
Especially in these entrepreneurial areas. You go to the bar with your buddies and many are working normal jobs, and you try and share some of your thoughts or ideas…
They just look at you like you’re an alien. Being in a position where there’s a common understanding is highly valuable.”
