Summary

Community is having a moment. But most companies are still treating it like a side project.
Yet, when it works, community becomes a powerful extension of your brand, shaping how you show up and how trust is built over time.
In this session, we’ll focus on what actually works.
‍
How to build something people want to come back to.
And how to turn community into something that lasts, not just something that launches.
Feel free to amend where necessary.

key takeaways

Community is broader than you think
It’s not just events or Slack groups.
It’s how your company connects, internally and externally.
And if you don’t define it, it will quickly lose focus.

Start inside before you go outside
If your employees aren’t engaged, your external community won’t be either.
Your team is your first and most important audience.

Start small. Build from there
You don’t need scale to start.You need signal.The strongest communities are built through small, consistent moments, not big launches.

Tangible takeaways

A simple way to get started (or reset):

• Pick your first 10 people (employees or customers who already care)
• Create one repeatable moment (a dinner, roundtable, coffee, small event)
• Focus on connection over scale
• Share their voices and build from what resonates

BIO

I run growth and paid social at SparkForce, where I manage B2B ad budgets from €8k to €90k a month for clients in FinTech, cybersecurity, PR, and edtech. Different industries, same job: make the numbers move.
‍
Before that, I ran paid social globally at Leapwork, where my campaigns drove more than 50% of every deal created and 70% of everything closed. Not influenced somewhere in the funnel. Directly responsible for revenue the sales team could point to.
‍
I started out at Skjoldby & Co, cutting my teeth on tracking and attribution before running paid social full time, managing budgets up to six figures a month and helping reposition the whole agency's go-to-market approach along the way.
‍
I've been in the data long enough to know when a campaign is working and when it just looks like it is.

Summary

SEO is being reshaped by new tools and new acronyms, but the real challenge for most companies is still operational: there's no strong program underneath.
‍
SEO gets treated as a collection of disconnected activities instead of a system that ties together business goals, search demand, content quality, and execution, which is also why most teams struggle to respond well to shifts like AEO and AI search.

In this session, Germans Frolovs walks through the key pillars of a revenue-driving SEO program and what he would prioritize if building one from scratch today, from business alignment and topical strategy to content production and performance measurement. The session is designed to help marketing leaders understand what a serious SEO program actually requires, and why strong foundations matter more than ever in a search landscape increasingly shaped by AI.

key takeaways

Attendees will leave with a practical outline of the key pillars and processes behind a revenue-driving SEO program, which they can use to improve their own approach and sense-check whether external support is aligned with what actually matters.

• What it takes to build SEO beyond traditional tactics and current hype.
  Attendees will leave with a clearer view of how Semantic SEO and topical authority principles can shape a more effective and more commercially relevant SEO program today, including in the context of AI SEO.
• The key pillars of a strong SEO program
  Attendees will understand the core strategic and operational pillars required to build SEO as a long-term growth driver rather than a set of isolated activities.
• How the main SEO processes should connect
  Attendees will see how business goals, topical strategy, content systems, optimization, and measurement need to work together to create compounding results.

Summary

Most ABM programs don't fail because of bad tools. They fail because the strategy underneath them is weak.
‍
After running 30+ ABM programs across 100+ B2B SaaS companies, spanning 1-to-1, 1-to-few, and 1-to-many, the lessons are consistent and uncomfortable. Teams over-index on intent signals and tech setup, and under-invest in the things that actually drive pipeline: ICP clarity, messaging, and creative thinking about how to break in.
‍
This session is a candid look at what works, what's overhyped, and how to build an ABM program that earns its budget instead of defending it.

key takeaways

• Your ICP is probably a document people agreed on, not one anyone has genuinely pressure-tested against where you actually win and expand.
• If you're measuring ABM with demand gen metrics, you're setting the program up to look like it's underperforming even when it's working.
• Most ABM programs fail in the org chart before they fail in the market, and the fix isn't a better tool stack.

BIO

Casper Rouchmann is the founder of SparkForce, a B2B growth agency working exclusively with B2B SaaS companies on demand generation, ABM, and paid channels.

He has since run ABM programs across 100+ B2B SaaS companies and is one of the more vocal voices in the Nordic B2B marketing scene through his podcast, conference, and regular sessions on ABM and demand gen.

Summary

The tools were not supposed to work that well yet. In late 2025, Rasmus had been pushing the new AI coding tools to their limits. Then one day in November, it landed: This was no longer experimentation. We had crossed the line into full proof of concept.

From that moment, the work exploded. Over the months that followed, he built a fully custom marketing operating system. Website, ad operations, content pipeline, lead generation, campaign simulation, a digital twin of the marketing environment, and so much more. Not as a stupid "6-agent autonomous team". As high-quality augmentation of him and his team, hitting the same quality standards as before.

This talk is about what happens when you put a former product nerd into a company building proprietary AI and ask him to figure out lean marketing. A deep field report from the frontlines of AI in marketing. What works. What breaks. And why he thinks the 2026 CMO belongs in an IDE. And about the concept he keeps coming back to: AI intuition. The judgment you can only develop by hitting the wall yourself, and why it's becoming the most valuable skill in marketing leadership.

key takeaways

• AI intuition is now a core marketing leadership skill. Knowing what AI is good at, bad at, and where it breaks can only be learned hands-on. CMOs who outsource this will fly blind on the most consequential decisions of the next five years.

• A fully custom marketing OS is viable in 2026, with a human firmly in the loop. AI handles most of the production, the marketer holds the taste and editorial standard.
• The marketing org is becoming barbell-shaped. Systems on one end, irreplaceably human work on the other. The middle compresses fast. Reshape your team on your own terms, or have it done to you.

Summary

The role of B2B SaaS marketing is changing. Generating leads is no longer enough. Teams are now expected to own the full funnel, shape positioning, and build brand with higher craft than ever before. Most teams weren't built for that job.
‍
Historically, doing this well required a stack of specialists and management layers. B2C hypergrowth companies have operated this way for years. B2B SaaS scale-ups have always faced a harder trade-off, until AI removed the core constraint and changed how you think about building a team entirely.

Signe and Gaspard will share how they've thought about marketing capability at different stages, the trade-offs, what's worked, what hasn't, and what AI has actually changed about how they staff and scale. Grounded in the reality of a vertical B2B SaaS company, with honest reflections you can take into your own team planning for the next 24 months.

key takeaways

• B2B SaaS marketing has outgrown lead gen, full funnel ownership is now the expectation
• How AI has eliminated the generalist vs. specialist trade-off in team building
• Lessons on scaling marketing capability in a vertical SaaS context

Today, as CMO at Famly, she is building a global brand and go-to-market engine to define a new category in early childhood education.

Summary

I keep seeing the same three mistakes come up, and they're not the obvious ones. They look fine from the outside, sometimes even like momentum. But they're quietly creating friction and stalled revenue underneath.

In this Plenary I'll walk through what those mistakes look like in practice and why they're so easy to miss. Using real world examples and funnel data, we'll get into acquisition, ICP strategy, and funnel performance and why fixing the system matters more than just chasing more leads.

I've worked with a lot of B2B SaaS companies on exactly this, and the pattern is pretty consistent. If your numbers look okay but growth keeps stalling, the problem is usually upstream.

Summary

Most B2B marketing teams measure performance from the moment a lead is created.

The problem? By then, the majority of the buying journey is already over.

Today’s buyers self-educate across dozens of touchpoints, involve multiple stakeholders, and build preference long before they enter the funnel. Yet most reporting, attribution models, and budget decisions ignore this phase entirely.

This creates a distorted view of performance. Channels that drive early demand appear inefficient. Channels that capture existing demand appear overvalued. And marketing ends up optimizing for what’s easy to measure—not what actually drives revenue.

In this talk, I’ll challenge how B2B teams think about measurement and show how to reframe performance around the full customer journey.

You’ll leave with a clearer way to identify early demand, evaluate channels more accurately, and make better decisions about where to invest for growth.

• Why most B2B measurement is fundamentally flawed
  ‍And how it leads to misallocated budget and misleading channel performance, better channel decisions, stronger alignment with sales, and a clearer link between marketing and revenue
• How to make early demand visible
  ‍AUsing account-level engagement and full-journey tracking instead of lead-based models
• Why most B2B measurement is fundamentally flawed
  ‍ABetter channel decisions, stronger alignment with sales, and a clearer link between marketing and revenue

BIO

Steffen Hedebrandt is CMO and co-founder of Dreamdata, where he helps B2B companies understand what actually drives pipeline and revenue.

Before founding Dreamdata, he led marketing at companies like Upwork and Airtame. Across both roles, he saw the same pattern: the majority of marketing’s impact happened before it showed up in the data.

That frustration became the foundation for Dreamdata—and continues to shape how he thinks about modern B2B growth.

Summary

Only a lazy marketer hasn’t posted on LinkedIn about “the power of in-person”. Yet, when pipeline pressure gets higher, it often turns out that events do not deliver what you hoped for.
The ROI is questionable, the “was it really worth it?” question comes up in every budget meeting, and the 2027 investment is under scrutiny.
‍
Why do events fail? What needs to be true internally for them to work? How should you adjust your strategy to get significantly more impact?
‍
In this session, you can expect to hear hard truths about why your events are not performing and get proven ideas and operating principles to improve them.

key takeaways

• Marketers choose what events to run but expect sales to drive ROI. This is where the function breaks - the sales involvement needs to start long before any contract is signed.
• The success of events depends equally on the quality of the event and the quality of the internal processes and systems that run it. We aren't talking about event tech here; it’s all about clear responsibilities, hand-overs, operations, processes, and data.
• The most successful event playbook from another band may be your worst-performing activity. Running events “just like our competitor” is not a strategy - finding your own working formula is.

Tangible Takeaway

Before planning the next quarter/year events, sit down with your Sales Leader and ask them:

• What is your team's core focus and biggest challenges going into next year?
• Where and how do you see events supporting you best in this?
• When thinking about 2027 planning, what are your top priorities we need to take into consideration?
  What would make an event genuinely worth your team's effort? If we look at a few of the past events - what worked and what didn't?
• What should we stop doing with our events?
• What should we start doing or do more of with events?
• What would the best collaboration look like for you? ¨
• When would you like us to loop in you and the team into the process?

Summary

Most brands treat branding as a cost. The science says it's your highest-ROI investment.

In a world obsessed with performance marketing, CPL, and AI automations, brand building gets cut first, because it's hard to measure and easy to dismiss as "fluffy." But decades of empirical research show that the brands winning market share aren't just the ones with the best lead-gen machine. They're the ones buyers think of first when they're ready to buy.

In this talk, I'll walk you through the science behind brand building and show you how to actually execute it: how to optimize your media buying for reach and attention, and how to build creative that compounds over time rather than burns budget.

At Flatpay - Denmark's fastest unicorn - we're actively investing in brand building across 7 markets, and I'll share how we think about it, measure it, and tie it back to real financial performance.

You'll leave with a clear framework for why brand investment pays off - and how to make it work even as a challenger brand without outspending the market leaders.

key takeaways

• Why Branding isn't fluff and feelings. It's an investment
• How to optimize media buying for brand building
• How to optimize creative for brand building

Tangible takeaway

You'll learn why branding works and how to utilize it to grow market share.
