Momentum was more than a theme, you could feel it! šŸ”„

Still riding the high from last Friday šŸš€ AMA Pittsburgh’s Marketing Momentum Conference 2026, presented by Corkboard Concepts, was nothing short of incredible. From the very first session to the final conversations of the day, the energy in the room was electric and the momentum was real.

What started months ago as an idea turned into a sold-out, first-of-its-kind conference for our chapter. Bringing together 130+ attendees and over 30 speakers, founders, and industry leaders from across North America and the UK, we created something that truly reflects the growth and future of Pittsburgh’s marketing community.

šŸ‘ A huge thank you to our talented speakers and moderators who showed up and delivered insightful, inspiring, and thought-provoking sessions.

🌟 And to our amazing sponsors who helped bring this vision to life, we couldn’t have done it without your support.

And of course, thank you to all of the attendees who came out and made the day what it was. We hope you had an incredible experience and left feeling inspired.

šŸ™Œ Shoutout to our planning committee for the months of dedication behind the scenes to bring this vision to life.

So proud of this team for building something that was long overdue for our community.

The bar has officially been set šŸ”„ Already counting down to next year.

We’d love to know, what was your favorite part of the conference? šŸ‘‡

Still thinking about the energy in the room at Level Up Your LinkedIn Personal Brand last night ✨ What. A. Hit.

From tactical profile tips to big-picture personal brand strategy, the conversation was dynamic, honest, and incredibly interactive. Some of the best moments? The thoughtful, and even vulnerable, questions people were brave enough to ask. That’s where the real growth happens.

Our panelists brought so much insight, and real-world experience. We honestly could have kept the conversation going for another hour!

Huge thank you to our sponsors, the National Aviary and the National Institute for Social Media, for helping make the evening such a success.

And a big shoutout to our incredible finalists and moderators Nicole Ramirez, Sam Hindman, Colleen Paulson, Piper Martin, and Jamie Orlando for leading such an engaging and impactful discussion. You made it special! šŸ‘

We’re already excited to implement what we learned and even more excited for what’s next.
