Content Marketing World 2026

Content Marketing World 2026 is a three-day content marketing event comprising two conference days and a separate workshop day. Its 2026 theme, “Insight to Impact,” centers on turning audience and market insights into effective content, stronger business outcomes, and measurable growth.

The program includes more than 100 sessions covering content strategy, storytelling, content experiences, lead generation, conversions, customer retention, content creation, and return on investment. Sessions also examine how to allocate resources beyond content production, prepare for the future of content marketing, and develop and document strategies that support business goals.

For the first time, the event will be held alongside TMRE: The Market Research Event, with additional content from LIONS brands Effie, WARC, and Contagious. This shared format brings content marketers and insights teams together to explore insight-led strategy, collaboration, marketing effectiveness, and growth.

Keynote topics include the role of storytelling in shaping brands, culture, and connection; using content and purpose to inspire action; applying consumer insight to marketing at scale; and building sports fandom through insight-driven marketing. The event also includes an Extra Innings Party at Coors Field and access to discounted hotel rates near the convention center.
