Nov 10–13

Web Summit

Lisbon · see all 3 editions

mixed seniorityAI and tech

No organizer page for 2025 survives; the site is fully reskinned for 2026. Organizer session pages for the Lisbon 2025 event are consistent with these dates. Sourced from a third-party listing, not confirmed on the organizer's own site.

Oct 26–29

Money20/20 USA

Las Vegas · see all 3 editions

mixed seniorityinvestor

Dates from the organizer newsroom; the venue from trade press, since the release names no venue.

Oct 21–24

ANA Masters of Marketing

Orlando · see all 3 editions

CMO levelgeneral

ANA's own releases disagree: one says 20 to 25 October, another says 21 to 24. Listed as 21 to 24, which three of four ANA sources support; the wider range probably counts pre and post days. Venue not recorded because ANA overwrote its 2025 pages and no source states it, though 2024 and 2026 were both Rosen Shingle Creek.

Oct 14–16

Dreamforce

San Francisco · see all 3 editions

mixed seniorityvendor eventAI and tech

The one year Dreamforce slid to October before moving back to September in 2026.

Oct 6–9

Advertising Week New York

New York · see all 3 editions

mixed senioritymedia and ad tech

Third year running at The Penn District. Note the bare awnewyork-2025 URL now serves 2026 content, so the dates here come from the know-before-you-go page body rather than the slug.

Sep 28–Oct 1

Groceryshop

Las Vegas · see all 4 editions

seniorgrocery and CPG

Four days, Sunday to Wednesday, straddling the month end. The only edition in this run that is not three days.

Sep 17–19

Shoptalk Fall

Chicago · see all 3 editions

seniorretail and commerce

Second year at McCormick Place. The move to Nashville came in 2026. Sourced from a third-party listing, not confirmed on the organizer's own site.

Sep 17–18

DMEXCO

Cologne · see all 3 editions

mixed senioritymedia and ad tech

The organizer names halls but never the building. DMEXCO moved later in September for 2026.

Jun 16–20

Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity

Cannes · see all 4 editions

mixed senioritybrand and creative

The organizer names no venue for this edition.

Jun 2–4

Shoptalk Europe

Barcelona · see all 4 editions

seniorretail and commerce

No organizer page for this edition survives; the 2025 agenda path now errors. Three independent listings agree on these dates and venue, which is the weakest provenance in this archive. Sourced from a third-party listing, not confirmed on the organizer's own site.

Mar 25–27

Shoptalk Spring

Las Vegas · see all 4 editions

mixed seniorityretail and commerce

The organizer page carrying these dates sits on the Fall subdomain but states them explicitly for Spring, which is the sibling cross-contamination this calendar has been bitten by before. Corroborated independently by Trade Show Executive.

Mar 18–20

Adobe Summit
