About Hero Conf

The world’s largest conference dedicated to PPC and paid social advertising

Hero Conf is a gathering of digital nerds looking for an education and networking event that covers PPC alongside the most pressing developments in the world of digital marketing. Expect a deep-dive into the content you need to manage your accounts and campaigns better, stay up-to-date on industry trends and generally have fun learning about the latest in paid media.

Our next event is this November in San Diego and you can expect everything that Hero Conf has become known for. The main conference will take place on November 19-20, and will feature 2 theatres of experts talks, an abundance of networking opportunities, as well as expo space to explore. This edition will also feature in-depth training courses on November 18, to give you the chance to immerse yourself in your chosen topic and take actionable skills back to your role.

The event is centered around you; the Paid Search Specialist, the SEM Analyst, the PPC Strategist, Digital Advertising Director, CEO, Social Lead and more. With dozens of sessions offered per event, we have learning opportunities for roles and experience-levels across the board.

We take massive amounts of pride in hosting a paid advertising conference that is relevant, actionable, and original. And year after year we top ourselves. Based on 151 responses, our last attendee survey speaks volumes.
