VOICES 2026 - The Partner Marketing Conference

event date

12 Nov 2026

location

Online


VOICES: the Partner Marketing Conference is a one-day virtual event built for marketers in the Microsoft ecosystem — the ones actually running campaigns, building pipelines, and figuring it out in real time.

November 12, 2026. No vendor pitches. No recycled slide decks. Just practitioners sharing what's working, what isn't, and what this community needs to hear.

The VOICES Program Committee is looking for sessions on demand generation, co-marketing, partner programs, content strategy, brand, events, and MarTech. If you've got real experience and something worth saying, this is your stage.

What we're looking for

Strong submissions are specific, practical, and grounded in real experience. The best sessions teach attendees something they can use immediately — a framework, a lesson learned, a tactic that actually moved the needle. Broad overviews and vendor-sponsored talking points don't make the cut.

Your title and description are how the VOICES Program Committee evaluates your submission. Make them count. If your session is accepted, they'll also appear on the conference website and schedule — so write for both audiences.

Session formats

  • Practitioner Session — 45 minutes including Q&A. One or two speakers sharing real experience on a single topic.
  • Panel Discussion — 45 minutes including Q&A. Multiple perspectives on a single topic. Come with a clear focus and at least one other panelist in mind.
  • Case Study — 45 minutes including Q&A. One topic, one story. Here's what we did, here's what happened, here's what you can take from it.

You may submit up to four proposals.

No pitches. Ever.

VOICES sessions are for practitioners, not for selling. Any session that functions as a product or services pitch — regardless of how it's framed — will be declined. This applies to co-presenters and panelists, too.

What speakers receive

Accepted speakers receive a complimentary full-conference ticket.
