The Room
Humanity First.
Marketing Second
Intimate summits for the senior executives shaping the world’s most important brands. No stages. No scripts. Just the conversations that actually change things.
WHO WE ARE
We build rooms worth being in.
The Room creates events for senior marketing executives: EVP – Directors…true decision makers from the world’s most recognized brands and agencies. The kind of leaders who oversee significant media and brand investment and rarely get a chance to be in a room small enough to have an honest dialog.
Every Room experience starts the same way: a qualifying conversation, and then a real one. We talk to each participant individually — not to sell them on attending, but to understand what challenges they’re navigating and what conversations would actually move the needle. What happens at our events is built from those answers.
YEAR FOUR
July 22–24, 2026 · Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach
Dana Point, California
120 senior women in marketing leadership. Four years of building a community where the walls come down and the conversations change lives. The one people keep coming back to.
Formerly Brand Summit
November 11-13, 2026 · The Ritz-Carlton
New Orleans, Louisiana
150 senior brand and agency executives. Personal leadership meets marketing strategy in three days of workshops, city experiences, and the kind of honest dialogue that only happens when the room is this size.
ON THE WATER
June 21–25, 2026 · Port of Cannes, France
Our yacht experience during Lions Week. An intimate setting for the conversations that don’t happen on the convention floor, with the Mediterranean as the backdrop.

PRIVATE DINING · SPONSORED
By invitation
One table. One question that matters to every marketer in the room. A moderated conversation — not a panel, not a presentation. The kind of dinner where someone always says: we should have this conversation more often.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
These are not conferences. They are conversations.
10 - 150
People, not thousands
Every summit is intentionally small. You’ll walk away knowing the room, not just the people who happened to sit next to you.

Keynotes
Every session is a conversation, not a lecture. Workshops are designed and led by fellow participants, people who’ve been in your seat.
100%
Off the record
No recordings. No press. No social media recaps. That’s how the real conversations happen — and why people say things they’ve never said at work.
