West48 Conference Center
Coming Soon: Compass Con 2026, Exclusively For Blue Compass Clients
Digital marketing isn’t slowing down, and neither are the conversations around AI search, smarter strategy, and the evolving role of your website. Compass Con is Blue Compass’ free annual event created exclusively for our clients to step away from the day-to-day, ask questions, and gain practical insights into what’s shaping digital marketing right now. From real-world case studies and live demos to an interactive panel designed to kickstart the day with your questions, our team is excited to share what we’re seeing across industries and how we can help guide your marketing decisions.
Think of Compass Con less like a conference and more like an ongoing conversation. We believe the best collaborations happen in person, connecting over new ideas and valuable insights, all while strengthening our partnership. These face-to-face conversations help us make a real impact together as marketers and business owners. Compass Con is a day to connect with other Blue Compass clients, talk through the challenges you’re facing, and explore new ideas together. We’ll bring the digital marketing insights, a few extras for your enjoyment, and plenty of opportunities to learn something new along the way. Join us on May 6!

Ask us what’s on your mind and we’ll weigh in with our insights.
AEO & GEO In Action: Real-Time Data For Measurable Results
AI is changing how brands appear in search results, requiring marketers to adapt with new ways to measure success. Director of Digital Marketing Katrina Reger will walk through how AEO and GEO strategies are being implemented today, sharing real client examples and live demos revealing how brands can monitor their visibility in these AI-driven search experiences. Learn how tools like peec.ai help uncover where your brand is showing up and what it takes to earn citations, enhance visibility, and achieve measurable results today.
How A Strong Digital Foundation Drives Marketing Success
Many companies invest in marketing tactics without fully understanding what’s happening across their digital presence. In this session, Blue Compass Senior Digital Marketing Strategist Jay Snyder will explore why understanding where you stand digitally is critical for building a strong foundation and making informed strategic decisions. Learn how uncovering insights across your website, SEO efforts, and marketing channels forms a road map to help protect your marketing budget and ensure every dollar does more for your business.
Winning The Click: How To Capture Quality Traffic In The Age of AI
As AI and social media platforms fight to keep users in their own ecosystems, earning a website visit is harder, and more valuable, than ever. Blue Compass CEO Drew Harden will explore how to navigate these shifting trends to help you outperform your competition. Learn strong GEO, SEO, and technical strategies to maximize the value of every visitor who chooses to engage with your website.
