Conference topics range from SEO, video marketing, audience engagement through social media, content strategy through storytelling, email marketing, augmented reality, mobile marketing, lead generation and so much more.
“Outside of the content rooms will be several hours of networking for both attendees and the latest vendors and technologies in the digital marketing world,” said Autumn Quarantotto, Attendee Experience Coordinator for the Digital Summit series. “Lots of great surprises as well wrap up what will be a highly rewarding 2-day experience for attendees.”
The Summit is a platform for brands and companies in the digital industry to network and to share information, a decent-sized portion of the visitors being startups. Attendees will receive presentations and recordings that they can later refer back to after the conference. Free Wi-Fi will be provided.
“Attendees are very active on twitter (@DigitalSummits, #DSDET),” Quarantotto said. “Another great tip: Bring a sweater! These venues can actually be quite cold, so I always recommend attendees come prepared with layers.”

The digital industry is now a critical asset to just about every major company, especially if you want to get the word out about your brand. When people want to get more information about your company, they will usually Google it and search for the website. Marketing through email, social media and SEO is essential to informing and engaging customers about your company. Digital Summit has the power to take you one step closer to developing a successful digital marketing strategy for your brand.
“The vibe on site is always exciting and fun,” Quarantotto said. “We work hard to plan each detail of the conference and put on an overall great event, so it’s always rewarding to see that come to fruition. More than anything, we love to see attendees having a good time and enjoying these Summits year after year.”
