Organized by Brain Traffic, Confab has a strong focus on content strategy and marketing, inviting guests ranging from content strategists to UX designers and beyond to the Hyatt Regency in downtown Minneapolis. Some topics covered include analytics and performance, hiring and staff management, editorial assignments and calendars and everything else you need to be a skilled and valuable content marketer. Beth Dunn of HubSpot, Tracy Playle of Pickle Jar Communications, Andy Welfle of Adobe and Rebekah Baggs of ONWARD are on the list of speakers for this year. With more to be announced.

Confab is an event for people who care about making content better for their users and organizations. And no, you don’t have to be a content strategist to attend! If you plan, design, build, or manage content, Confab is meant for you.

Confab has hosted a variety of events since it first began in 2011, including Confab Central, Confab Intensive, and Confab Higher Ed. In 2018, we decided to pool our resources into making one big Confab to rule them all, which we plan to continue in the coming years.
