Sometimes saving money means honing your own skills. Sometimes it means tracking down an outside consultant or agency with specialized expertise. At Confab, you’ll learn how to make smart decisions about content strategy investments.
Companies tell us Confab is most valuable when you send a team, but that’s not always in the cards. Fortunately, most speakers share slides with registered attendees after the conference, so you can bring your fresh knowledge back to your group.

There are a lot of good conferences out there. Heck, there are a lot of good content strategy conferences out there. But Confab is the original conference dedicated entirely to content strategy. Trust us, we wrote the book on it.
Founded by Kristina Halvorson and produced by Brain Traffic, Confab is the world’s leading conference on the topic of content strategy. It’s an international gathering of leaders and practitioners who care deeply about doing great work and moving the discipline forward. You won’t find a more thorough, carefully curated event anywhere else.
Confab attendees are the people in organizations who care about making content better. They’re usually the strategists, designers, marketers, writers, editors, and communicators who are in the trenches every day, making content happen. They’re also the directors, managers, and principals who make the big strategic decisions about how to invest resources in content initiatives.
Whatever seat you have at the content strategy table, you’ll find that the people who come to Confab are genuinely wonderful humans. They come together to tackle new challenges and connect with like-minded people. They even share their #confabfeelings. (Seriously, it’s a thing.)
If we haven’t answered all of your questions here, don’t hesitate to get in touch: info@confabevents.com. But don’t wait too long—seats are limited and often sell out well in advance of the conference.
Hope to see you there!
