Summary

CMO Huddles announced that its CMO Strategy Labs would expand to 10 cities in 2026, bringing small, invite-only working sessions to senior B2B marketing leaders. The program is designed to help CMOs move from trend awareness to practical action on topics like AI, GTM strategy, positioning, AEO, and content.

The CMO Strategy Labs

CMO Huddles today announced that its CMO Strategy Labs will expand to 10 cities in 2026, bringing invite-only, workshop-based sessions to senior B2B marketing leaders across the country.

The 2026 Strategy Labs are designed as small, high-signal working sessions where CMOs can engage directly with experts and peers on the biggest issues shaping marketing leadership.

A More Practical Kind of CMO Gathering

Strategy Labs are not traditional conferences. Each session is intentionally capped at approximately 10–15 CMOs to preserve the quality of discussion, peer learning, and practical strategic work.

The format combines expert-led sessions, peer conversation, and a private dinner, giving participating CMOs space to work through real issues with people who understand the pressure of the role.

“CMOs are being asked to move faster, make smarter bets, and lead through constant change. Strategy Labs give them a practical room to pressure-test ideas, learn from peers, and leave with actions they can actually use.” — Drew Neisser

Why Strategy Labs Matter for B2B CMOs

B2B CMOs are navigating a moment of significant change. AI is reshaping how teams work, buyers are changing how they search and evaluate vendors, and executive teams are asking marketing to connect more directly to growth.

Strategy Labs are designed to help CMOs move from broad trend awareness to practical next steps. The goal is not just to hear what is changing, but to work through what to do about it.
