so, what’s MKTRHUB?
At MKTRHUB, we’ve cultivated a unique experience where you can sit with people who truly get it.
As marketers, we know the hustle and bustle of being in the marketing industry. Crashing out is always one late approval on an “urgent” task away.
We understand the exhaustion of wearing multiple hats, the frustration of having your ideas overlooked, budgets that don’t match the ambition, and the pressure to stay current on all things marketing. Because let’s face it: there’s no foolproof way to avoid being cancelled, or a sure-proof way to go viral.
And you know what? We keep signing up to do this job again, and again, and again.
Imagine a conference that gets YOU, challenges you to build BIGGER, and pushes you to GO HARDER.
there’s an awesome line up of workshops & sessions

about the venue
Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture will serve as the official home of MKTRHUB 2026.
Located in downtown Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, the museum offers a modern, spacious, and thoughtfully designed environment that supports both learning and connection. Attendees can expect comfortable seating, and multiple areas designed for sessions, networking, and in-between conversations.
MKTRHUB is designed to feel focused but not rigid, elevated but welcoming. The Reginald F. Lewis Museum delivers that balance. It gives us room to gather, think, and build community in a space that feels intentional, well-equipped, and worthy of the conversations we are bringing into the room.
why should you attend?
MKTRHUB 2026 is more than just another conference. Of course everyone says this, but it’s true here.
Don’t believe us? Over 100 attendees and speakers posted recaps of MKTRHUB 2025 on social media. Take a look here!
MKTRHUB is a marketer’s playground and a procrastinator’s worst nightmare. From workshops, keynotes, speed networking, and so much more, there’s no way you’re leaving uninspired or without a new connection.
We don’t believe in just taking notes–although there’s plenty of note-taking. Learning at MKTRHUB involves application, testing, and hands-on experiences. MKTRHUB is designed for people who want more than inspiration in their marketing journey!
You’ll join marketing pros, brand strategists, advertisers, creatives, and business owners who are ready to turn ideas into action.
This isn’t a sit-back-and-watch kind of event.
At MKTRHUB, it’s time to get to work.
No matter where you are in your journey, MKTRHUB will meet you there.
If you’re in marketing, MKTRHUB is for YOU.
We welcome marketers, communications, and advertising professionals across all industries and skill levels. Whether working in corporate, managing your own business, or creating impactful campaigns as a freelancer, you’ll find a home here.
MKTRHUB is ideal for marketers and marketing-adjacent roles:
MarComm professionals
Communication managers
Senior strategists
Copywriters
Advertisers & ad buyers
Brand builders and strategists
Corporate marketing teams
Agency and business owners
Creatives, influencers, and content creators

Note: The 2-day experience spans multiple sessions and includes walking between breakout rooms and sessions so comfortable shoes should be prioritized. Any specific events or activities will have dress codes noted and shared well in advance for planning. -
