First of all, Happy 10th Birthday to Ann Handley and the MarketingProfs B2B Forum team!

Time flies when you’re working hard, smart and with style – just like Sharon Hudson, Julie Pildner and their team have been for so many years to create a great experience for B2B Forum attendees.

There are a very small number of industry conferences that I look forward to attending year after year and the B2B Forum is at the top of that list. Many other B2B marketing practitioners and leaders that feel the same way and that’s why the content is so good year after year. MarketingProfs has built something solid both in terms of the event and the community.

Being a part of that community is a special thing and it’s a joy to connect, collaborate and participate with so many top notch marketers. Our participation with this year’s event has touched on several levels ranging from Ashley and Tom from my team helping with some promotions and a presentation to the talk I’m giving on Thursday about activating B2B influencers and influencer marketing tools.

Speaking of influencers, below is a list of 50 speakers that are sure to influence your knowledge about B2B marketing this week at the B2B Forum in Boston.

As always, lists are great to be on, but can’t include everyone. The ranking of this list is powered for the most part by Traackr, the influencer relationship management platform that we work with. The specific topic used to sort was of course, “B2B marketing” and we just had to start it off with the queen bee of B2B, Ann Handley herself.
