ABM has become a proven, successful business strategy, and with more B2B companies adopting the approach, marketers face steep learning curves. B2B marketers can no longer rest on traditional skillsets to help them grow in their careers, let alone execute successful ABM strategies. On day two of the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to become Certified Account-Based Marketing Strategists through Demandbase's ABM certification program. Attendees will have the chance to grow their skillset and join a community of emerging ABM leaders. The certification program features three rubrics: Foundations, Advanced, and Expert. Demandbase will offer Advanced and Expert certification courses onsite during the certification event, and the Foundations course is available online.
