Smarter Marketing Starts Here
As platforms evolve and audience expectations shift, marketers must continually reassess how they engage and deliver value. The AMA Central Pennsylvania Chapter brings that conversation forward at its third annual marketing conference, focused on Content and Channel Evolution.
Join us Thursday, August 13, 2026, at the Ware Center for the Arts in Lancaster, PA, for a one‑day conference built for marketers who want real-world insight. Through hands‑on sessions and examples, you’ll explore how content performs across today’s platforms and how to build strategies that truly connect with audiences.
Designed for marketers at every stage of their career, the conference features three distinct learning tracks focused on Platforms & Formats, Strategic Integration, and Audience‑Centric Approaches.
With expert‑led sessions and meaningful networking with Central Pennsylvania’s marketing community, you’ll leave better equipped to adapt and lead as the industry continues to evolve.
