Hero Conf San Diego 2026
Rough Agenda
A two-day, in-person PPC and paid media conference at the San Diego Convention Center, focused on advanced strategies for scaling eCommerce and performance marketing campaigns.

Hero Conf San Diego is a two-day, in-person conference built for marketers deep in the world of paid media, performance marketing, and eCommerce growth. Hosted at the San Diego Convention Center, this event is widely recognized as one of the leading gatherings for PPC and paid social professionals looking to move beyond theory and into execution.
This isn’t surface-level marketing talk. The focus is on what’s actually driving performance across platforms like Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, and beyond. It’s where strategy meets real campaign data, and where operators share what’s working right now—not what worked two years ago.
Set against the backdrop of San Diego’s waterfront, the event blends deep-dive learning with high-value networking, creating a space where ideas are tested, challenged, and refined in real time.

- You will learn advanced PPC and paid social strategies that go beyond basic campaign setup
- You will discover how to optimize performance across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and emerging ad platforms
- You will gain real insights from practitioners actively managing high-budget campaigns
- You will explore data-driven approaches to scaling eCommerce acquisition and retention
- You will understand how to adapt to constant platform changes, automation, and AI-driven advertising
- You will hear practical case studies showing what’s working, what’s failing, and what’s evolving
