2026 DIGITAL MARKETING MASTERCLASS

This Digital Marketing Masterclass is a focused, one-day intensive built for business professionals and students who want to learn the highest-impact digital marketing tactics for 2026.

Jared VanderMeer leads three practical morning sessions: Social That Converts, Google Ads Without the Waste, and SEO & Google Maps, Simple & Strategic. Each packed with templates, checklists and a built-in live Q&A so you leave with immediately actionable work. Bring questions, your workbook, and walk away with a plan to test trends that actually convert.

After a networking lunch with food trucks outside, Tim Sweet runs “Unblock & Get It Done” to clear creative and operational roadblocks and lock in first-week wins. The afternoon closes with a tourism marketing panel moderated by Morgan Shaw (Executive Director of Explore Sidney).
