Keynote Session Details 🔎
How Content Influences Conversions – Jonny Kenyon, Jungle IT and Joanne Rogers, Advocitude
Conversion Rate Optimisation work often focuses on page structure, CTA links, and visual improvements. But what about the actual content?!
Jonny and Joanne will talk about how your messaging and copywriting might actually be the biggest missing piece to getting more interest, leads and ultimately conversions through your website, and wider marketing activity!
Digital PR as a Converting Channel – Beth Crowe, Digitaloft
A veteran of both PR and Digital focused agencies, Beth will delve into how Digital PR can and should work as part of your lead generation and website conversion strategy. Not just as an intangible or vanity metric!
You’ll learn best practices when it comes to Digital PR activation, attribution and analysis. And how it can be a catalyst for wider improvements in your marketing efforts and strategy.
The Future of Search for Conversions – Pontus Bäckman, WP SEO AI
Head of Partnerships & Growth at a scaling SEO SaaS, Pontus will talk about what the future of Search Engine Marketing looks like for marketers – especially when it comes to driving actual leads and sales from search.
Covering SEO, AEO and GEO (don’t worry – he’ll explain all the acronyms!) he will explore how search has become completely multi-channel in the AI age. And how we need to approach that if we are to keep hitting our traffic and lead generation goals as marketers.
Keeping Our Eyes On The Prize – Olivia Mae Hanlon, Girls in Marketing
Olivia runs the wildly successful Girls in Marketing community, and she’s helped over 18,000 marketers navigate their career goals and challenges!
So who better to run us through where Marketing as a function sits in 2026 – and beyond. How can we keep focused on the work that really matters when there are so many possibilities and distractions? How are we meant to have our voices heard? And how can we deliver results that mean we thrive – and don’t just burnout? Olivia will unpack all the difficult questions for us!
