Ragan Announces 2027 Social Media & Marketing Conference at Walt Disney World
Annual event brings social media, marketing and communications professionals together March 3-5, 2027, for three days of strategy, innovation and peer connection
Chicago, IL (August 12, 2026) Ragan Communications today announced its Social Media & Marketing Conference will return March 3-5, 2027, at the Walt Disney World Swan Resort in Orlando, Florida. For more than a decade, social media and marketing professionals have come together at this popular annual event to learn from industry leaders, exchange ideas with peers and prepare for what is next in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
The 2027 conference arrives at a pivotal time for the profession. Artificial intelligence is transforming how content is created and discovered, algorithms and platforms continue to change, audiences are increasingly fragmented, and organizations are placing greater scrutiny on budgets and business results. Ragan’s Social Media & Marketing Conference is designed to help professionals navigate these shifts while building strategies that drive growth, strengthen reputation and deepen audience relationships.
Over three days, attendees will explore the trends, tools and strategies shaping social media and modern marketing, including AI-powered workflows, integrated campaign planning, content strategy and storytelling, short-form video, creator and influencer marketing, social listening, community management, crisis communications, employee advocacy, emerging platforms, analytics and ROI.
The conference is designed for professionals working across social media, digital marketing, brand strategy, content marketing, public relations, corporate communications, community engagement, reputation management and related disciplines. Attendees have included leaders from Fortune 500 companies, major consumer brands, nonprofits, government agencies and higher education institutions.
The program will feature practitioner-led sessions, workshops, fireside conversations and peer discussions focused on real-world challenges and solutions. Attendees will also have opportunities to benchmark their strategies with hundreds of peers, discover new technology and connect with fellow professionals through networking receptions, speed networking, table talks, conference cohorts and other experiences.
The Walt Disney World Swan Resort will provide the backdrop for the 2027 event, offering attendees convenient access to EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and other Walt Disney World destinations. Conference attendees will have access to a discounted hotel room block and discounted Walt Disney World theme park tickets.
Registration includes conference sessions, networking opportunities, speaker presentation materials and post-event resources. Group discounts are available for teams of three or more, with additional discounted rates available for eligible nonprofit, government and education professionals and Ragan Insiders.
Registration is now open. To learn more about Ragan’s Social Media & Marketing Conference, March 3-5, 2027, or to register, visit Ragan.com.
