What’s not to love about the best marketing conferences? You get to meet new people, learn new insights, and spot new business opportunities.
The challenge is finding one that’s worth the cost of the ticket, accommodation, and travel. Not every event caters specifically to agencies or marketers after all.
That’s why we’ve put together this list of the Best Marketing Events & Conferences for Agencies in 2026. Each event focuses on the people in creative agencies. So, whether you’re a creative, strategist, marketer, or manager, there’s a date to plan for.
To make it even easier to stay on top of your favorite events, we've created a printable calendar. Grab your copy below and print it out so you have all the information for upcoming digital marketing conferences in one place.
Some of these events also offer the virtual option, which can be a better fit if you’re only interested in the educational offerings.
We’ll be at some of these events (marked below) and can’t wait to meet you there!
How to Know Which Marketing Event I Should Go to in 2026?
The conference industry continues to thrive, with dozens of marketing-focused summits happening each month. These events can range from large-scale affairs with tens of thousands of attendees to smaller, more intimate workshops with just a few hundred.
What kind of event you choose depends on what you're looking to get out of it. The broad exposure at events like IBM THINK or the Adobe Summit can’t be matched by smaller events, but you’ll gain deeper insights and richer experiences at those more intimate gatherings.
To help you make the best choice, we’ve included both small and large-scale events. The list is organized by month and includes only the best marketing conferences, focused on marketing and agencies.

FAQs
What is the top marketing conference for creative agencies?
The Adobe Summit was attended by over 16,000 visitors in 2025 and is widely renowned as the top marketing conference. In our opinion, ‘top’ is very subjective, though, with far smaller conferences offering a more impactful networking opportunity.
Which digital marketing conferences offer the best networking opportunities for agencies?
Marketing conferences that bring together agencies and face-to-face meetings are your best bet, such as Mirren Live, AMIN, AMI BABA, WPI, DigiMarCon, and MAGNET Summit.
Are these conferences available in both in-person and virtual formats?
Not every conference is available virtually. We recommend browsing their website, where they’ll usually list a discounted ‘virtual pass’ if possible.
Are marketing conferences worth the cost of attending?
Marketing conferences are largely what you make of them. Educational benefits are guaranteed, but with the right approach, you can make considerable networking gains. If you’re afraid of them being ‘salesy’, then we recommend visiting an event that states it is ‘pitch-free’.
OVER TO YOU
There are few better ways to immerse yourself in a topic, pick up a new skill, or learn from the very best in the world than a conference, summit, or workshop. The networking opportunities aren’t half bad either!
