About Content Marketing World
Content Marketing World is the original and largest content marketing conference, founded by Joe Pulizzi in 2011 through the Content Marketing Institute. It draws content marketers, brand journalists, SEO leads, and editorial directors from B2B and B2C brands worldwide for four days of workshops, keynotes, and case studies.
Programming spans content strategy, SEO, AI-assisted content production, brand journalism, and creator economy plays. It remains the canonical convening for the content marketing discipline despite the proliferation of niche events.
