CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forrester (Nasdaq: FORR) today announced the full conference agenda for its B2B Summit North America event being held in Austin, Texas, and digitally on June 5–7, 2023. The B2B buying landscape is changing rapidly: Routes to market are diversifying; generational shifts are disrupting buying experiences; and buying motions are becoming difficult to predict. To drive profitable and sustainable business growth in this uncertain environment, aligning teams around internal constructs is not enough. Instead, organizations need to align key functions around driving customer and buyer value.

At B2B Summit North America, B2B marketing, sales, and product leaders will learn how to attain cross-functional alignment toward shared goals and objectives to drive business growth. Featuring more than 100 sessions, the event will explore key priorities top of mind for business leaders to help them adapt quickly to changing market conditions.

• Lifecycle Revenue Marketing Is The Future Of B2B Growth. Seismic shifts in buying behavior are wreaking havoc on the frontline B2B marketing functions that are accountable for revenue growth. This session will outline buyer trends that are having the most impact on B2B marketing and a strategic approach to driving success in 2023.

“Today’s B2B buyers expect an experience personalized to their needs and preferences,” said Forrester Vice President and Group Research Director Srividya Sridharan. “This requires marketing, sales, and product functions to align on goals and priorities around buyer value.
