Attendees from a broad range of industries — from healthcare, insurance, and financial services, to retail, automotive, food services, and more — were inspired by Megan Smith, entrepreneur and former CTO of the United States of America, entertained by legendary actor Mark Hamill, and educated by the some of the brightest minds in marketing today about about rise of Digital Knowledge Management (DKM).

ONWARD18 will continue this tradition by bringing together CMOs, CDOs, CIOs, VPs, Directors of Marketing, SEOs, agencies, and startups in wide ranging conversation about DKM, A.I., augmented reality, location-based marketing, machine learning, mobile marketing, and brand management.
