Call for speakers

Help Manufacturers Think Beyond the Funnel

Smartacre’s At the Acre series is heading into new territory. We’re bringing 100+ industrial marketers, sales leaders, and executives together in the Lehigh Valley to prepare for what’s next:

The 2026 Marketing Playbook: Human Strategy. AI Execution.
We’re looking for speakers who are driving real change inside or alongside mid-to-upmarket manufacturers. Not theory. Not generic trends. We want practical stories, proven frameworks, and lessons from the front lines.

 

 
Topics we’re especially interested in:

  AI in industrial marketing, sales, or operations
 Scaling GTM with lean teams and legacy systems
 The new marketing loop: messaging, automation, adaptability
 Budget shifts: less on trade shows, more on what works
 Service + CX strategies for long-term growth
  Recruiting and enabling next-gen manufacturing talent

We're selecting leaders with experience inside or alongside industrial manufacturers.

You might be:

  A VP or Director at an industrial company doing innovative work
  An agency or tech partner helping manufacturers modernize
  An ops, marketing, or RevOps leader navigating change
  A strategic advisor who’s helped scale within manufacturing
