2025 Conference Planning + Early Predictions

By now, you’ve probably guessed it — I’m the conference queen. If there’s a panel, round table, fireside chat, or keynote, you know I’m there. And I don’t even have to be speaking — I just can’t resist the potential of an incredible session and walking away with at least one gem

I’ve been keeping tabs on all the IRL and online events this year to create the ICYMI Events Database.

And recently I asked YOU what conferences were actually worth attending in 2025. Now, I’m spilling the tea on what you shared. Below, you’ll find:

• The 2024 events people showed up for, in alphabetical order

• Your unfiltered takes on what made these conferences a hit (or a miss)

• Predictions and ideas from industry peers at recent conferences — including YouTube’s Kim Larson at CreatorIQ Connect and Meta’s product manager Melanie Rodriquez and creative strategist Andrea Campos at Adobe Max— that might spark inspiration for your 2025 social strategy

Happy planning, friends!
