Marketers' Hot Take Happy Hour: An Evening of Agree or Disagree artwork

/ About this event

Strong opinions. Good drinks. Better conversations.

Join fellow B2B marketing and communications pros at a rooftop bar for a happy hour built around the topics we love to debate — what’s working, what’s overrated, what needs to disappear, and where marketing and comms are headed next. Grab a drink and your AGREE and DISAGREE stickers, then make your way around the room weighing in on some of marketing’s most debatable hot takes that we’ll have on posterboards around the room:

“AI is making marketing more boring.” “Nobody needs another podcast.” “Brand matters more than demand gen.” “Most thought leadership isn’t thought leadership.”

Have a hot take of your own? Add it to the Hot Take Wall and finish the sentence: “I will die on this marketing hill…” Throughout the evening, we’ll reveal how the room voted, hear a few arguments from both sides, and see if anyone can change a few minds.

No panels. No presentations. No awkward networking exercises. Just drinks, delicious snacks, interesting people, strong opinions and plenty to talk about.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
