Hero Conf scholarship scheme

We know that certain groups of people are under-represented in the worlds of paid social and paid search so we’re excited to offer scholarship places at our Hero Conf San Diego conference.

We’re obviously a tad biased but we think that training and development are vital for marketers. The world of paid media is always changing so it’s important to stay up to date on new technology and trends.

Scholarship places at our conferences are free of charge and aim to give the opportunity to learn more about paid media to people from under-represented groups in our industry who wouldn’t be able to access it otherwise. We hope it will help open up the industry and routes to the top.

For example: people who are returning to work after a break (including maternity/parental/adoption leave), LGBTQ+ people, women, non-binary people, disabled people, people of colour, people who are unemployed or students. These categories aren’t exhaustive but hopefully give you an idea of who we’re trying to assist.

We’ve been working on making our events more accessible and inclusive so we are happy to chat about other ways we can accommodate your accessibility requirements.

Apply for a scholarship place

Conference applications are now open for Hero Conf San Diego 2025 this September.

We are constantly reviewing all applications and will contact everyone asap to let them know if they’ve been allocated a scholarship place.

We won’t share details of who has been allocated a scholarship place (though recipients are obviously welcome to do this) and recipients will get exactly the same (marvellous) experience on the day as everyone else.
