In this Friday morning training, attendees will learn how to transform marketing efforts into practical business development activities. The session focuses on helping participants become more comfortable with sales conversations, relationship building, and creating opportunities that support long-term growth. Whether working for an agency, nonprofit, higher education institution, or internal team, the skills covered can help bridge the gap between promotion and results.

How Intelligence Informs Experiences: New Horizons for Marketers

Artificial intelligence continues to reshape how organizations communicate with audiences. For marketing teams, that means new opportunities to deliver more personalized, responsive, and effective digital experiences.

In this session, Martin Anderson-Clutz explores how emerging AI capabilities can help organizations create and orchestrate experiences across multiple channels. Attendees will learn how evolving technologies may enable even smaller teams to deliver sophisticated user experiences that were previously available only to organizations with larger budgets and resources.

Scrolling Without Barriers: Practical Accessibility Tips for Social Media

Social media is often one of the first places people interact with an organization, yet accessibility is frequently overlooked in the rush to publish content.

This session focuses on practical techniques that make social media content more accessible and usable for everyone. Topics include writing effective alt text, creating accessible graphics, improving video content, and avoiding common barriers that can prevent people from engaging with posts. Whether managing a community account, promoting events, or supporting organizational communications, attendees will leave with techniques they can apply immediately.

Whether tracking campaign performance, measuring engagement, or reporting results to stakeholders, attendees will gain practical strategies for making analytics more approachable and useful.
