Virtual Summit
2025 Speaker Application
Thank you for considering to speak at the 2025 Ads Summit!
This is a virtual summit, so no plane ticket or hotel stay needed!
At the Ads Summit, students will learn how to create effective paid ad campaigns that drive traffic, attract clients, and grow your business. From targeting the right audience to maximizing your ROI, they’ll gain the tools and confidence to make ads work for them—no matter their budget or experience.
In the past several years the online paid ads landscape has changed greatly. Gone are the days of set it and forget it. Ad costs have been at an all time high while privacy changes have greatly impacted tracking and retargeting.
The uninformed business owner would see all of this as doom and gloom, but as cutting edge marketers we know how to adaptive to new opportunities and tactics. That's exactly why we created Ads Summit, to help educate those struggling with online paid ads to thrive in 2025 and beyond!
With your help we can come together over the 3 days of the 2025 Ads Summit to make this a reality for those that attend.
We look forward to curating 15-25 minute talks covering a range of relevant topics surrounding paid ads including Meta Ads Strategies, Copywriting, AI, Youtube/Google Ads, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Audience, Creative, and more.
