Pardon our Dust: We’re Rebranding!

ASBPE is rebranding the national conference to ASBPEvolve: The Biggest B2B Editorial Summit. We’re refocusing our efforts to help B2B editorial professionals hone the core skills of our craft and adapt in a constantly evolving industry. Our mornings will be dedicated to the “back to basics” best practices you need to do your job daily, and our afternoons will be filled with focused discussions on how to remain relevant to the future of media and industry.

As we shape ASBPEvolve 2025, we welcome you to submit suggestions for session topics and speaker proposals.

Interested in showing your support for the hard-working B2B journalists and publications that not only use your products and services, but endeavor to make us all better informed, hold officials accountable and improve the industries they cover?

Cohorts: Role-Based, Ongoing Networking

At the 2024 conference, ASBPE introduced its first continuous networking groups, ASBPE Cohorts. These role-based networking groups will introduce you to other attendees who actually understand your work-related needs, wants and challenges. These groups operate under Chatham House Rule allowing members to talk about real issues and gain highly valuable perspectives and feedback from peers in the industry.

Whereas members of other editorial councils, associations and networking groups pay for this opportunity, ASBPE offers these groups as free space where members can interact with peers. If you are interested in joining a Cohort group, please complete our Cohort sign-up form. Our executive director will reach out once space in a group is available or we are launching a new group for your role.
