We’re over the moon to see so many of our Content Marketing Conference speakers make it on Entrepreneur’s list of “Top 50 online Marketing Influencers to Watch in 2016“.
We’re also not surprised. The seasoned women and men who make up the CMC speaker lineup truly are inspiring. With their advanced knowledge of content marketing and unique ability to translate that to actionable takeaways, we knew these experts would be the trendsetters of 2016.
These select experts are recognized as “proven leading authority figures” with accomplishments including published books, high blog engagement, a large audience, and advanced expertise in one or more areas of online marketing.
Let’s take a deeper look at our speakers named as the Top 50 Online Marketing Influencers to Watch 2016:
Tim Ash | @Tim_Ash (#15)

Tim is also the Chair of Conversion Conference, an exceptional event co-located with CMC. This unique partnership allows attendees to grab a combo-pass and attend sessions from both conferences.
