Digital Summit Minneapolis 2026 took place Wednesday, August 12 through Thursday, August 13, 2026, at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

Digital Summit Minneapolis was held at the Minneapolis Convention Center, 1301 Second Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55403.

The audience was billed as including CMOs, marketing directors, brand managers, digital strategists, content marketers, social media leads, SEO and growth professionals, agency teams, and in-house marketing departments across industries.

The audience was billed as a mix of agency-side and brand-side professionals, skewing toward strategic and senior marketing roles. Roles ranged from one-person marketing teams to enterprise marketing departments.

It was most useful for in-house marketing leads and agency strategists who wanted practical sessions in SEO, content and brand, since the speakers were scheduled to include Rand Fishkin of SparkToro, Andy Crestodina of Orbit Media Studios and brand-side marketers from Cisco and athenahealth. Buyers of enterprise technology or attendees who wanted a very large national crowd would have gotten less, since it was a two-day regional stop in a multi-city series and the partners were mostly agencies, martech and hosting vendors.

Recommended attire was business casual. Hall temperatures vary, so dressing in layers and wearing comfortable shoes was recommended.

Digital Summit Minneapolis was billed as an in-person, two-day conference featuring keynotes, breakout sessions, the Mastermind Hub deep-dive workshops, an exhibitor showcase, and networking receptions.
