Meet Our Summit Insiders

Adobe Sum­mit is an incred­i­ble oppor­tu­ni­ty for mar­ket­ing lead­ers from across Europe to come togeth­er to explore the lat­est tools and trends in Dig­i­tal Mar­ket­ing. Each year, we gath­er the industry’s top inno­va­tors, lumi­nar­ies, and sub­ject mat­ter experts to share their insights and expertise.

Adobe Sum­mit is a valu­able expe­ri­ence to not only those attend­ing in-per­son in Lon­don, but also to the entire dig­i­tal mar­ket­ing com­mu­ni­ty. In order to extend the Sum­mit expe­ri­ence and to pro­vide on-the-ground cov­er­age, we’ve invit­ed five indus­try thought lead­ers from across Europe to attend as Sum­mit Insiders.

The Sum­mit Insid­ers are an exclu­sive group of mar­ket­ing experts whom we’ve invit­ed to join us at Sum­mit to share their insights, obser­va­tions and expe­ri­ences via social & dig­i­tal channels.

There will be plen­ty of oppor­tu­ni­ties to join the #Adobe­Sum­mit con­ver­sa­tion along­side the Sum­mit Insid­ers, with a high­light being a dai­ly Twit­ter Chat in part­ner­ship with the Dig­i­tal & Social Media Lead­er­ship Forum, so stay tuned for more infor­ma­tion on how to get involved!
