The moment the word conference flies out of your mouth, your boss’s eyebrows begin to knit. That’s when your proposal is severed by a sequence of words more mighty than the Hammer of Thor.
“What’s this going to cost?”
“How many days will you be away?”
“I swear, Mack. If this is an excuse to fill your Instagram with pictures of food trucks and #swagbag, I’ll ban you from all office holiday parties indefinitely.”

These industry leaders share best practices, learning experiences, and passion with actionable content that you can put to work immediately.
You’ll be able to channel this inspiration into your own professional drive and body of work. This is a win-win for a more productive you and a happier boss!
Think of the professional growth and networking!
The conference is packed with like-minded, industry peers ready to exchange ideas and build relationships. OKC’s digital marketing scene consists of a close-knit, passionate crowd always ready to meet and discuss the craft they love. Representing your organization at conferences is a great way to grow and expose your brand.
Your team will be able to make professional connections, but in a personal, collaborative environment – and that’s good for business. Your boss will be happy to know that your organization will represent itself among professional peers.
Think of the low expense!
Tell your boss to take that stack of travel expenditures and budgets, throw them in the trash, and set the can on fire.
Okay, don’t do that, but do say that Confluence packs a wallop of opportunities for its relatively low registration costs. Confluence is economical. Standard registration is only $250 – a modest price when compared with other conferences’ fees. You’ll hear from some of the same speakers featured at MozCon and other pricier industry conferences but for hundreds or even thousands of dollars less.
Also, you’ll only be away at the conference for two days. No long commitments here, just a couple of days full of nerding out over digital marketing. You’ll be back before your boss even notices you’re gone.
Better yet, Confluence is conveniently located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – an ideal location for not only local Okies, but for friends beyond state borders too.
If you’re in the OKC area or surrounding communities, the drive to the Bricktown District is a short commute. No worries if you’re not exactly local. OKC has plenty of reasonable hotel options near the conference venue, the Chevy Bricktown Events Center!
Uber and Lyft are available to cover transportation needs as well. With such easy to way arrange logistics, planning around the conference will be but a trifle.
Overall, let your boss know that Confluence is a great way to expand your skill set as a digital marketer, challenge you to new ideas and practices, and broaden your organization’s professional outreach.
