Your company has a vested interest in having well-informed marketers on their team, so it shouldn’t be too hard to get buy-in.
Here are a few tips to help you make your case:
1- Send a formal request letter to your boss. State your top three reasons for attending, and a detailed cost/benefits breakdown. Emphasize that this event is virtual, meaning no travel/lodging expenses and limited interruption of your work duties.
2- Here are some reasons you might give: learn how AI can make you more productive, stay updated with industry trends, learn new skills and tactics to improve your campaigns, discover new tools and technologies to optimize your marketing efforts. Be sure to customize your letter with your personal goals for maximum impact.
3- Familiarize yourself with the topics and speakers, then create a sample agenda with sessions you would like to attend. Outline how they align with your organization’s objectives and how you intend to apply your learnings.
4- Offer to share your insights with the rest of the company by creating a document or presentation with key takeaways.
5- Keep it brief and simple, explaining your request in one page or less. -
The Master Classes and the Summit are two different experiences. The Summit is a broader digital marketing event featuring sessions, trends, and insights from multiple experts. The Master Classes are focused, live training sessions designed to go deeper into specific topics—SEO Revolution and Content Revolution—with more hands-on guidance, practical frameworks, and time for Q&A. In short, the Summit gives you the big-picture strategy, while the Master Classes help you apply those ideas in a more practical, in-depth way.
-
No. The Summit and Master Classes are scheduled separately. The Summit takes place first from Sep 30-Oct 2 and is designed to provide the broader strategic foundation, while the live Master Classes will be held later in November or December, with exact dates to be announced.
-
We will send you the links to view our live streams on September 30 and October 1 (and October 2 for All-Access Pass holders) ahead of the start time. There’s no need to create an account or log in—simply click, sit back, and enjoy the show. Make sure to check your spam folder if you can’t find them in your inbox. We recommend adding NP Digital to your Save Senders or Contacts to ensure you receive all important Summit communications.
