The inaugural North Iowa Marketing Summit brings together marketers of all experience levels, business owners, nonprofit leaders, tourism professionals, and community storytellers for a day of learning, networking, and fresh ideas.
Hosted by the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Mason City Chamber of Commerce, this regional event is designed for anyone responsible for promoting a business, organization, event, or community. Whether you're a seasoned marketing professional, a one-person marketing department, or simply someone who wears the marketing hat when needed, you'll find ideas, inspiration, and connections to help you move forward.
The day will feature keynote speaker Lauren Ready and her presentation, Storytelling That Starts With Curiosity, educational breakout sessions, exhibitor booths, networking opportunities, and plenty of time to connect with others who are passionate about helping their organizations succeed.
Expect a fun, positive atmosphere focused on learning, sharing ideas, and celebrating the great work happening across North Iowa.

The full agenda will be announced later this summer.
