so, what’s MKTRHUB?
At MKTRHUB, we’ve cultivated a unique two-day experience where you can sit with people who truly get it.
As marketers, we know the hustle and bustle of being in the marketing industry. Crashing out is always one late approval on an “urgent” task away.
We understand the exhaustion of wearing multiple hats, the frustration of having your ideas overlooked, budgets that don’t match the ambition, and the pressure to stay current on all things marketing. Because let’s face it: there’s no foolproof way to avoid being cancelled, or a sure-proof way to go viral.
And you know what? We keep signing up to do this job again, and again, and again.
Imagine a conference that gets YOU, challenges you to build BIGGER, and pushes you to GO HARDER.
and, why should you attend?
MKTRHUB 2026 is more than just another conference. Of course everyone says this, but it’s true here.
Don’t believe us? Over 100 attendees and speakers posted recaps of MKTRHUB 2025 on social media. Take a look here!
MKTRHUB is a marketer’s playground and a procrastinator’s worst nightmare. From workshops, keynotes, speed networking, and so much more, there’s no way you’re leaving uninspired or without a new connection.
We don’t believe in just taking notes–although there’s plenty of note-taking. Learning at MKTRHUB involves application, testing, and hands-on experiences. MKTRHUB is designed for people who want more than inspiration in their marketing journey!
For two days, you’ll join marketing pros, brand strategists, advertisers, creatives, and business owners who are ready to turn ideas into action.
This isn’t a sit-back-and-watch kind of event.
At MKTRHUB, it’s time to get to work.
plus, there’s an awesome line up of workshops & sessions.
