3:20-4:00 | Keynote: 7 Digital Marketing Skills That'll Never Go Out of Style Every year, webinars, articles, and blog posts are filled with the annual prognostications about digital trends and (let's be honest) absolute guesses about what’s coming in the next year and beyond.

Instead, in this session, you'll learn to develop methods of thinking and approaches to new digital challenges based on experience, measurement, and communication. In this session, you'll learn:
