Now Prove It.New York City 9:00am to 4:00pmA one-day New York forum for social media professionals who want more influence, better evidence, and a stronger seat at the table.ABOUTSocial media is not new. The platforms are not new. The profession is not new. Social media marketers have spent years building audiences, driving culture, managing crises, and generating real revenue for their companies. Through algorithm changes, platform blow-ups, and budget cuts.And yet a lot of social media professionals are still walking into meetings justifying why their work matters to people who think the job is posting on Instagram.Social media in 2026 is where your customers tell you what they think, what they want, what they are about to do next, and where your competitors are falling short. It is business intelligence. It is reputation management. It is the closest thing most companies have to a live read on the market. The professionals who can connect that to the business are the ones getting listened to. The ones who cannot are still getting asked to make the logo bigger.SocialDay Social Media Marketing Forum is a focused, high-energy day built around one question: how do social media professionals get the recognition, the budget, and the influence their work deserves?You will leave with reporting angles, stakeholder language, and strategy frameworks you can take straight back to leadership.WHAT TO EXPECTSeven sessions and two interactive formats across a full day in New York City. You will hear from practitioners running social at real companies, navigating the same budget conversations and stakeholder headaches you are, who have figured out how to win. Everything is built to be useful the next day.The day also makes room to actually connect. A mid-morning expert session where you can bring a real problem to people who work in social tech, search, and strategy every day. A peer session in the afternoon where the room works through challenges together. The kind of honest conversations that only happen when you put 200 social media professionals in a room and give them space to talk.7 sessions - 1 closing panel - Meet the Experts - Social Spotlight -Breakfast and lunch included.9:00am to 4:00pmWHO IS THIS FORSocial media managers, heads of social, content strategists, digital marketers, community managers, and brand and agency social leads.

This session gives the room the language, the data, and the framing to change that. What does it actually mean to run social in 2026 when the channel is now one of the most valuable sources of business intelligence a company has?10:30am Session 2: The intelligence layerThe data your company needs to understand its customers, fix its products, and stay ahead of competitors is already sitting in your feed. How the best social teams are using that information to get into bigger conversations, and how AI tools are helping them move faster.11:00am Session 3: Search is not what you think it isPeople are not searching the way they used to. They search with problems, not keywords. They use 3.6 platforms over up to 10 weeks before they buy anything. And AI tools are changing where they go to find answers and which brands they find when they get there. How to build a content strategy that works across all of it.MID-MORNING11:30am Meet the Experts: Coffee, snacks and expert tablesFast-paced table conversations with experts from across social media, tech, search and more.

This session covers what to stop reporting, what to start, and how to put together a business case that actually lands with leadership.12:30pm Session 5: The trust deficitPeople have stopped trusting brand content. They have moved to Reddit, to private communities, to recommendations from people they actually know. What that means for where you show up, how you create, and who carries your message.LUNCH1:00pm Lunch for 60 minutesProper food, drinks, informal networking.AFTERNOON2:00pm Panel - The creator economyCreators are not just distribution. They are creative partners. When everyone can now produce content at scale, what actually makes a human creator worth working with?

Share a real challenge or idea you are sitting with and the room responds. Prompt cards on every table to get things going. Submit your problem in advance or raise your hand on the day. Drinks and snacks on tables.3:00pm Session 6 - The sameness problemMost social content is built to perform and forgotten within 72 hours. Now that AI tools have made it easier than ever to produce content at volume, a lot of it sounds exactly the same. This session is about what it actually takes to build a voice people recognize, formats that work more than once, and content people remember.CLOSING SESSION3:30pm Session 7: Panel - Humans beat algorithms Real people, real voices, real stories. Employee content, founder content, advocacy programs. The evidence is clear that when a human being shows up in your social strategy, it outperforms everything else.
