MediaPost's Email Insider Summit

About the Email Insider Summit

In its 17th year, the Email Insider Summit is a three-day event that brings together the brightest minds in Email marketing to share leading-edge information and experiences in a think-tank environment, while exploring new technology, strategies and tactics for the effective use of Email as a marketing vehicle. For the Summit we bring in 50 senior Marketers from a variety of verticals responsible for Email and CRM strategy and budget to network, debate and share best practices about marketing using Email.

Attendance for the Summits are capped to ensure conversations, learnings and overall experiences are intimate, productive and highly useful. Each day is comprised of high-impact content sessions in the morning coupled with unmatched networking activities in the afternoons. We return each evening with Cocktail receptions, fine Dining experiences, and After-hours fun.

The end result is a highly unique format that's intimate, inclusive and memorable on all fronts - an experience that allows everyone the opportunity to build REAL relationships well beyond that of a simple exchange of a business card.
