The Opportunity:

Traffic & Conversion Summit is the biggest independent digital marketing conference in North America, we have a mind-blowing pedigree of speakers including Logan Paul and Lisa Vanderpump. We don’t run your typical conference, so if you’re looking for a bunch of guys in grey suits, we might not be for you.  We bring together SMEs, bloggers, Instagram influencers and the world’s largest ecommerce brands.
