THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING THE 2023 VERMONT WEB MARKETING SUMMIT!

A DIGITAL MARKETING CONFERENCE

BACKGROUND

The VT Web Marketing Summit was launched 14 years ago by a group of digital marketers who foresaw the potential of a developing marketing outlet. Despite its modest beginnings, with only 80 participants and a handful of sessions, the summit aimed to delve into the complexities of this promising field. At that time, digital marketing was still in its infancy, and it is genuinely intriguing that some of the topics and strategies discussed during those early days have stood the test of time and retain relevance today. The summit is organized and presented by the Curve Trends Marketing team–one of the region’s leading digital marketing agencies. Over the years, the conference experienced significant growth, attracting notable speakers and attendees from across the country, and continued its successful run for a decade until COVID-19 struck in 2020. It’s back in 2023 with a new look and renewed focus on the still-evolving digital landscape!

THE THOUGHT PROCESS

This will primarily be a discussion of how generative and conversational AI has emerged as a critical element in the digital landscape, prompting marketers to question the impact on their optimization, content, and overall strategies. There will be brainstorming on the balance between marketing tactics and consumer interactions and how it is currently at a critical juncture, leading to diverse opinions on how much we should embrace these changes. It is about understanding how the fundamental principles of digital marketing remain robust amidst this evolving landscape.

DIGITAL MARKETERS & BRAND STRATEGISTS

The conference is designed to unite the region’s digital marketers and brand strategists. Our goal is to offer valuable insights from industry experts, addressing the pressing question on everyone’s mind: what does the future hold, and how will it affect professionals like brand strategists, content creators, publishers, site owners, advertisers, search engine optimizers, and creative professionals? Regardless of our industry affiliation, we invite you to maximize this opportunity. Attend captivating keynote conversations and engaging breakout sessions that will be enlightening and thought-provoking. Join us for an exciting and insightful experience!
