The Marketing Event for Event Marketers

September 25th. 1-hour. Virtual.
2-3PM BST / 9-10AM EDT

Why Activate?

Most virtual events are broken.

As event marketers, we’re expected to spend days watching hour-long keynotes filled with fluff. Rarely do we uncover new insight or practical advice that makes the difference.

We wanted to change this.

So, we created ACTIVATE.
0% Fluff.
100% Practical Content.

Built by Event Marketers. For Event Marketers.

ACTIVATE is the first marketing event purposely built for event marketers.

Free to attend.
Multiple tracks.
All talks under 10-minutes.

What is Activate?

ACTIVATE is the virtual event that helps event marketers improve their marketing.

No fluff. Just practical advice from experts which you can apply to your own marketing efforts.
Join the Event Community
Meet 2,500+ event marketers in the same boat. Share pain points, discuss the real problems, and find solutions together. It’s a virtual event for event marketers.
Unlock the Vault
Steal new ideas, blueprints, and playbooks from the best marketing minds in the world. Everything is available to watch on-demand after each event in our exclusive Gleanin Vault™.
Lightning Talks
No talk is longer than 10 minutes. It’s innovative ideas from thought leaders in the event industry to help you cut through the noise and get the marketing results you want.
