Exclusively for decision makers in the influencer marketing industry.
October 9 + 10, 2025
Chicago, Illinois
The influencer industry is evolving in front of our eyes.
Consider this: brand investment in influencer marketing is expected to grow by 20% annually between now and 2031.
In November 2024, TikTok Shop raked in over $100 million in Black Friday (single-day) sales.
In January 2025, TikTok was banned and reinstated within a 24-hour period.
In March 2025, Unilever's CEO promised to 20X the number of influencers the CPG giant works with.
In April 2025, REVOLVE was hit with a $50-million class-action lawsuit, followed in May by a $150-million class action lawsuit against ALO, both around lack of disclosure on influencer collaborator content.
The ground is shifting under our feet...
...and it's not going to stop anytime soon.
If you are an influencer marketing executive, it is no longer enough to notice trends and react.
It is no longer enough to settle for yesterday's KPIs.
It is no longer enough to sacrifice relevance for reach or substitute scale for strategy.
Niimbus is the must-attend event for those wanting to define the leading edge rather than just stay on it.
We've designed two days of innovation sessions, breakouts, and roundtables to center your expertise in the influencer industry.
- No outdated formats.
- No one-way flow of information.
- No missed connections.
The right people, in the right room, having the right conversations.
Join us October 9 + 10, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois.
Niimbus is not your typical marketing conference.
The immersive nature of Niimbus allows brand executives to prioritize and elevate the discussions and topics they deem critical, in real time, while developing strong relationships with their industry colleagues.
Why Niimbus?
Spend two days whiteboarding, brainstorming, troubleshooting, and validating what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next in the influencer industry.
Collaborate with your peers to solve critical issues like scaling influencer outreach, standardizing compensation rates, filling tech stack gaps, adjusting to a post-AI landscape, and troubleshooting the next algorithm update.
Who You'll Collaborate With at Niimbus:
- Cross-functional decision-makers driving influencer strategy and mapping its impact across departments and disciplines--on the brand, platform and agency side.
- Experienced practitioners with the depth to go beyond "Influencer 101" and dive into strategic, forward-looking conversations.
- Seasoned leaders who've weathered the industry's cycles, from algorithm upheavals and pricing shifts to M&A shakeups and platform pivots.
Put your hands in the clay to create the very takeaways you came to discover.
Then take those leading edge solutions and ideas back to your team to supercharge your results.
Peer Advisory at Niimbus
Niimbus is structured around distinct cohorts of executives who share similar challenges due to the maturity and size of their influencer initiatives.
We call this your peer advisory group.
Colleagues in your group are intimately familiar with the decisions, the systems, and the constraints of your work because they navigate similar ecosystems.
In this way, you'll learn not only from the at-large community of influencer executives at Niimbus, but you'll have focused discussions with your peer advisory group to fast track progress during those breakouts.
(Peer advisory groups, listed below, are limited in space.)
