• 47.2% of organizers reported that their events team grew
• 52.1% of organizers reported increased attendance at their B2B in-person conferences

Attendees share that sentiment, with 77% saying in-person B2B events are best for networking and 69.7% saying those types of events provide the best opportunity to learn about new products or services. Music to my ears!

But wait, there’s more.

B2B in-person events are expected to continue growing in 2024, with 86.4% of organizers planning to maintain or increase the number of in-person events.

Folks who thought in-person events would disappear were wrong. (You can tell them I said so.) The event industry was shaky for a while, but the entire world has realized once again the important role of community and face-to-face engagement with others. The novelty of being back together certainly hasn’t worn off.

In 2024, we’ll see plenty of top-notch conferences for professionals in all industries, especially sales enablement. And they are well worth your time.

Sales enablement conferences and other events offer the ideal opportunity for you to build your career skills, learn about new technologies, and hear about new approaches to sales enablement. You can also learn how other companies are solving the problems you may be struggling with.

Then there’s the networking. You get to meet, share ideas, and have fun with other sales enablement managers, sales managers, learning and development professionals, and revenue enablement folks.

Below is a list of the top sales enablement conferences for 2024. For many of the events, the details are limited—particularly those scheduled for later in 2024. However, the information here should help you start planning your schedule and travel budget.

So, ask your boss for the budget now, and attend a sales enablement conference next year.

See you out there!
