MarTech Committee

The MarTech Committee is focused on collectively improving and celebrating the products, people, processes, and partnerships that enable members to operationalize their marketing efforts at scale.

With marketing technology accounting for the largest proportion of marketing budgets at 26.2 percent, equating to more than $300 billion in global spend, among more than 9,500 solution providers, and just 18 percent of brands having reported mastering their martech stack, and a severe shortage of experienced talent and unclear career paths for practitioners, the need for marketplace focus and leadership is palpable.

This committee works with leading cross-functional experts to share, learn, and discuss the challenges and opportunities related to partner selection and integration, talent management, organizational excellence in working across departments, measuring ROI, and much more for members to secure better value out of their investment, drive growth, reduce waste, and eliminate redundancies.
