DigitalRVA was founded in 2017 as a series of community meet-up events to bring together data-driven marketers of all levels of experience to develop a welcoming, inclusive, diverse set of voices and perspectives to boost Richmond’s growing digital marketing community. Since its creation, DigitalRVA has grown into a full-day conference enabling the digital marketing community to inspire, share, learn, and network!

We are anticipating running multiple tracks of content but in a linear form. As an example, a block of 90 minutes may contain (3) back-to-back 30-min sessions in a row (one in each track). Attendees will be able to engage in all sessions in every track.

Who Should Submit?

Everyone is encouraged to submit a proposal. Our primary goal is to have excellent sessions that inform and engage our attendees. Thus, the speaker selection committee will be favoring speakers who have a record of delivering excellent talks, but we also understand that everyone has to start somewhere. If you are a first-time speaker, please make sure your proposal is compelling and communicates why you are the right person to deliver it.

We are hoping to have a speaker pool that is representative of our local population and showcases some regional talent, but we welcome submissions from anyone anywhere. If you have an idea for a session, please submit it!
