Upcoming Agency Events Worth Your Time
Events I'm attending, speaking at, or just rooting for.

It's a mix of conferences I'll personally be at, ones I'm speaking at, and others hosted by people in this space I want to see win — for agency, marketing, advertising, and PR leaders. Several have discount codes below, so check before you buy your ticket.
