2021 Attendees
It's the second year in a row I've attended. I’ve come back both years with specific examples that challenge my clients to consider more breakthrough ways to connect with consumers.
— Brian Asner, Strategy Director, FCB


The Challenger Brand Summit was a great way to connect with some of the top minds in the game and see/hear the trends before they even become trends. The cross-section of industries, company size, and challenges faced generated both inspiration and ideas for the drawing board.
— Kimberly Dillon, Chief Marketing Officer, Papa & Barkley
I came away from Challenger Brands feeling so inspired. All the featured brands are companies we admire and it was interesting to get a peek behind the curtain on what propels them forward in their respective industries. Whether you’re a challenger brand or think like one, this is a great conference to attend.
— Kathleen Reidenbach, Chief Commercial Officer, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants
