Now in its 6th year, Mastermind is a marketing retreat for senior marketing leaders of mature companies. It's a 3-day experience bringing together a hand-picked, invite-only group of marketing experts for an intellectual exchange unlike any other.
Forget large auditoriums and sales pitches; instead, anticipate robust discussions, provoking panels, and fulfilling connections with industry trailblazers. At Mastermind, you're not just a part of the event—you are the event.
After a dose of Mastermind, conventional marketing conferences just won't cut it. Welcome to the real deal.
“A Transformative Experience”
It was by far, the best event I’ve ever been to in my entire career. I absolutely loved the format where we openly discussed topics that are on all of our minds and learned how fellow marketing leaders are tackling challenges.
Javi Cano
CMO, Sotyra
Top to bottom this has been an absolutely transformative experience. Great people, interesting topics, and deep philosophical conversations, all from one of the most idyllic spots I have ever seen.
Theresa Anderson
Head of Marketing, Agorapulse
It was actually a bit of an un-conference — like nothing I’ve ever experienced! The content was predominantly talking and learning from other marketing leaders from companies around the US.
Mark Boothe
CMO, DOMO
I happily hit “Accept” to every single person from the Mastermind event who sent me a connection request. Finally, real people and REAL connections to super smart marketers.

Forecasting in Marketing: The Art and Science of Exploring Possibility
Forecasting in marketing is not just about prediction. "Forecasting looks at how hidden currents in the present signal possible changes in direction for companies...thus, the primary goal of forecasting is to identify the full range of possibilities, not a limited set of illusory certainties." (HBR, 2007) Pannelists from high-growth companies discuss their approach to forecasting and the pursuit of opportunities.
Tailored to address your most current and pressing challenges, discussions are the pulse of Mastermind - exploratory, collaborative, and brimming with insight that traditional conferences can't touch.
No matter which discussion track you join, expect to find an energetic and driven group of marketers committed to pushing boundaries in the marketing industry.
