Social Media Marketing World 2027 Anaheim

Social Media Marketing World is an annual conference on social media, creator and AI marketing, run by Social Media Examiner, which stresses that marketers rather than an events company organise it. The organiser counts the 2027 edition as the 14th. It is scheduled for 1 to 3 April 2027 in Anaheim, California, and the official site places it next to Disneyland. The page reviewed for this listing does not name the venue or give an address, so the exact location should be confirmed on the official site before travel is booked. The organiser aims the conference at small-business marketers, business owners, agencies and consultants, and creators. The programme is split into dedicated tracks. The Social Marketing Track deals with organic and paid social on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok, while the Creator Track looks at long-form and short-form video and at earning money from an audience. AI Business World, a programme devoted to AI, takes up two full days within the conference rather than running as a separate event. Its exact days had not been confirmed on an official page at the time of writing. Social Media Examiner says the sessions carry no sales pitches and that the agenda has no panel discussions, with each speaker chosen on the strength of results achieved in practice. The 2027 speaker list and schedule could not be checked for this listing, so no names are given here. Networking takes the form of meetups, table talks grouped by topic and half-hour breaks between sessions. Three ticket types are listed: All-Access, General Access and Virtual. Each of them includes AI Business World at no extra charge. All-Access adds marketing strategy workshops on behavioural science, storytelling, conversion optimisation and authority building. Prices were not shown on the pages that could be read, so current rates should be checked on the registration page. For affiliates and media buyers the fit is partial. Gambling, crypto, nutra and other affiliate verticals are not named in the programme, and the audience leans towards small businesses, agencies and creators. The paid social material on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok is the closest match for buyers who run social traffic, and the Creator Track is useful for publishers building audiences on video platforms. AI Business World is the part to watch for teams bringing AI into their marketing work, although its session list has not been reviewed here.
