"Interest in the Content2Conversion Conference far exceeded our expectations," says Andrew Gaffney, Editor of DemandGen Report. "We heard a lot of positive feedback across the board from attendees, sponsors and speakers, as the event community found real value in the session content and networking opportunities."

"The B2B Content2Conversion conference was a truly memorable experience," says Ardath Albee, author and keynote speaker for the event. "From the venue to every detail, the orchestration was impeccable. Best of all, the audience was engaged, enthusiastic and interactive. I think that had a lot to do with the care and planning the DemandGen Report folks put into the agenda that provided a day jam-packed with comprehensive education and expertise.

This is a critical time for marketers to gauge where content marketing is headed, and the conference included top notch thought leaders who presented valuable education. We brought several clients who went away with many pages of notes and several ideas they plan to implement right away. All said they got significant value from the day."
