Unspam Long Beach

Unconventional. Unforgettable. Unspam 2026.

New to Unspam? It's a small, practitioner-only email marketing conference run by Really Good Emails and Beefree. No expo hall. No badge-scanning gauntlet. Just honest talks, real community, and the kind of conversations that actually change how you work. This isn't your typical email marketing event or industry summit.

What you'll get at this email marketing conference

→ Sessions on AI, accessibility, deliverability, copywriting, design, and strategy, with real playbooks from brands like Vuori, Buffer, and Marigold
→ Group activities, an offsite evening, all meals included, and the between-session conversations people say are worth the ticket alone

Why attendees call it the best email marketing conference

9.2 out of 10 past attendees would recommend the Unspam conference. Not because of a flashy production, but because of a room full of people who care about the same things you do and aren't afraid to share what's actually working (and what isn't). Among top email marketing conferences in the USA, Unspam is the one people keep coming back to.

And if you're more introvert than extrovert? This one's designed for you. Under 250 people, structured group activities (no "find a stranger and network!"), and a community that's genuinely warm. You won't need to put on a conference persona to feel welcome here.

Location and venue: email marketing event 2026

This email marketing conference 2026 heads to the West Coast for the first time. The Hyatt Regency Long Beach is our home base, right outside LA, steps from the water, and the perfect excuse to extend your trip.
