What people said about last year

“DRIVE is a “must attend” event for marketing leaders and professionals looking to up-level their game. Including informative speakers, valuable breakout discussions, and the chance to build meaningful relationships while taking in the local beauty of Vermont, this conference has it all! I highly recommend DRIVE for you and your teams!”

Bill G.
SVP of Marketing, Esper

“It is an amazing feeling to attend a conference where you know you will meet like-minded people, but also incredibly supportive people. Drive creates the space for B2B marketers to reset, revive, and ultimately thrive. I came away with so many ideas of where to go from here.”

Mandee S.
Senior Marketing Manager, Vehlo

“This was my second year at Drive and I thought it was absolutely the right choice to come back- loved having “reunion” moments with people I met last year and getting to meet a whole new “cohort” of people. The speakers offered a great mix of hands-on perspective plus introducing us to ideas or skills we might want to pursue outside of the requirements of our day jobs.”

Andres B.
Senior Marketing Manager, Trueveris

Yes, we’ll serve breakfast and lunch both days at Drive and dinner on Wednesday night. On the nights dinner is not served, there are several restaurants on-site as well as in the town of Stowe. Coffee/other beverages all day. We’ll also serve hors d'oeuvres at our Welcome Reception and Afterparty. There are plenty of options for food so don’t worry about going hungry. If you have dietary restrictions, we’ll confirm with you before the event, so don’t worry everyone will eat!

Should I stay for both days?

Yes, absolutely. Both days we’ll have speakers, networking opportunities and workshops you won’t want to miss.

How should I pack for Drive?

There’s no formal dress code. Wear whatever you’d wear at home. The weather can fluctuate this time of year so a mix of clothing is probably best, but you’ll check the weather before you come up. Also: we recommend bringing some workout clothes / activewear so you can explore and you'll  need them if you participate in any hiking.

Where should I stay?

Hotel booking links will be released soon. If you'd like to stay on-site where the whole event is happening, then you should stay at The Lodge at Spruce Peak.

Will there be areas or time to take meetings?

Yes. The resort is huge and has areas all around where you can sit, take a call, hop on a Zoom or take a break to answer emails. We will have breaks in the schedule for both days.

What airport should I fly into?

Burlington International Airport, we’ll have shuttles running on Tuesday and Friday to and from The Lodge at Spruce Peak.

How many tickets are available for Drive?

We expect around 400 people at Drive this year.

What is our refund and ticket transfer policy?

All ticket sales are final. We do not offer refunds or transfers. We keep events small and tightly run, and last-minute changes are disruptive to the planning process. Please confirm you can attend before purchasing. Thanks for understanding and for supporting what we’re building.
