As an email marketer, finding an email marketing conference that strikes the right chord is frustrating.
Most digital marketing conferences touch on it, but don't dig deep enough into the strategies and tools that can make a difference.
But with email marketing boasting a 3,600% ROI, we should never sleep on staying current. It’s part of the job!
With that in mind, I went to Email Innovations Munich early this year, where I had the chance to witness—and even participate in—insightful discussions about email marketing in Germany.
Attending a presentation by Tobias Eickelpasch, founder of Rock your Email
I can’t wait for the next one!
But in the meantime, I’ve put together a list of email marketing conferences.
Why? Partly for myself, to keep track of the best ones, but also for fellow marketers like you, who are looking to stay up to date with the latest developments in the industry.

What to look out for:
Several online sessions caught my eye:
- Postmastery Deliverability Benchmark (since we examine the deliverability performance of different email marketing services ourselves at EmailTooltester, I’m really excited about this one!)
- Humanising the Deliverability Manager Experience (TBC)
- The Problem with Spam Words and Spam Filters (led by the SpamAssassin, Kevin A. “KAM” McGrail)
In-person sessions explore deliverability in more detail, and I particularly think the hands-on workshop on solving delivery problems provides the most value for attendees.

- The Successful Applications of Text-based Emails
- Lost in Translation: The Art of Developing Email Localization
- The ICE-T Framework: How to Know Which Experiments Matter (Before You Launch Them)
While most email marketing events center on the latest trends and tools, this approach ensures that often-overlooked aspects of email marketing get the attention they deserve.

Inbox Expo is considered one of the most prestigious email marketing events. The 2024 event marked the event's first time on US soil, and this was such a big success that the conference will continue to take place in the country.

What to look out for:
If you’re struggling to plan out your email strategies, the first keynote presentation is worth watching. Chad S. White will teach you how to prioritize them to achieve your email marketing goals.
The conference also covers a lot of AI-related email marketing strategies, but one session really stood out to me for being different. It’s not your typical how-to, but instead helps you get inside your customers' heads by learning how AI affects them. It’s called “Why Your Customers HATE AI and Why YOU Should Tread Cautiously”.
