In 2022, for the first time in 3 years we were back in Singapore IN-Person and online. In 2024, we are back, bigger and better than ever for an IN-PERSON only event.
For the in-person Forum, we have space for 350 B2B marketers to gather in Singapore to discuss our roles as business leaders driving revenue and growth, with a firm seat at the leadership table while ensuring we personally stay relevant as modern marketers.
Now in its seventh year, ASIA’s largest gathering of B2B CMOs and marketing leaders will again be held at the Parkroyal on Pickering in Singapore on the 21-22 August 2024.
We’re seeing a large skills gap today in B2B marketing, and it’s conferences like these that help fill that gap as this is the only place they’re going to get this kind of education`` - Carlos Hidalgo – Customer Experience Strategy, B2B Demand Generation and Change Management Expert (USA)

Having a long-term actionable strategy is crucial to help you move beyond the frenetic cycle of quarterly targets and tactical tasks, to build a plan which delivers sustainable results and gets you out of the hamster wheel.
Having a strategic plan to inform tactical execution is critical if we’re expected to hit increasingly aggressive targets with less resource.
In this session we’ll discuss how a defined long-term strategy helps you take back control of your agenda, align your marketing priorities to commercial business goals, think critically about your customers, your competitive landscape, and develop value propositions to cut through the noise, resonate and drive demand in market.
During this track we’ll dig deep into demand generation in Asia with two case studies followed by interactive group discussions.

By using Sales Development Reps (SDR) teams to effectively nurture and qualify leads at the mid-funnel stage before they can enter the bottom of the funnel and getting passed over to Account Managers, marketers are seeing a huge impact on marketing ROI, pipeline acceleration and growth.

Back yourself with B2B marketing attribution!
To maintain credibility and budgets, marketers must be able to quantify marketing’s contribution to pipeline and revenue. Yet, over 50% of marketers in APAC don’t have a ROI or pipeline contribution target
What earns marketing a seat at the leadership table is knowing your ROI, revenue contribution and being able to walk into a board room and report and defend your data
Learn the skills, processes and tech needed to set up attribution, ROI and reporting frameworks for communicating the value of marketing to the businesses – aligning metrics to business financials
Research shows that Sales and Marketing teams globally are losing up to $2T annually due to inefficient and outdated processes. And we know that only a small percentage of buyers are actually in-market at any given time. Worse still, only a very small percentage of website visitors fill out forms.
These dynamics create an environment where pipeline building is fraught with inefficiency, waste and unpredictability. Sales and Marketing teams are operating in what we call the Dark Funnel. The good news? It doesn’t have to be this way.
Conventional wisdom tells us to proceed with caution. However, coming out of this session, you will be inspired and encouraged to proceed with confidence.
In this session, you’ll learn how to empower your team and a very loyal employee base to share organisational story through paid and organic LinkedIn storytelling campaigns.
In this session we’ll focus on communicating value to, through, with and for channel partners. The right approach depends on the go-to-market strategy and the objectives a business wants to achieve

As we start out as marketers our priority is to develop our own functional marketing skills. As we start leading others, keeping up with the changes in functional skills is replaced by spending more time on leadership and management. Building a well-aligned team with the right marketing and leadership capabilities becomes critical for success.
Everyone is talking about, intrigued by and experimenting with ChatGPT, DALL-E and other AI tools. But how can these emerging capabilities improve B2B marketing processes and approaches to deliver a paradigm shift in the way that we are able to connect with customers? How will AI power the next era of customer engagement, creating real and personal experiences at scale? And what are practical approaches you can apply now to plan for and deploy these to realise your biggest opportunities?
Join us for a discussion with brands who are already leveraging these technologies to improve customer outcomes and thereby marketing ROI.
ABM has long been a popular strategy for driving engagement with key buyers, however, the opportunity for businesses that leverage Account Based Experience (ABX) in the years to come is enormous.
There is a gap in the market for high-quality ABM programs—buyers at accounts require account intelligence solutions but are not always engaged effectively and do not find the custom-tailored programs they are looking for.
This session explores how marketers can achieve true ABM and make the leap to ABX—a client-centric buying experience that resonates with buyers and keeps brands top of mind when they are ready to engage.
