Return on Influence 2026

Return on Influence Festival '26 is Modash's one-day virtual festival dedicated to influencer marketing. It puts the people behind some of the world's best creator programs on stage, and it is deliberately built to feel like a festival rather than another webinar.

It is for anyone managing, growing or trying to understand influencer marketing as a channel. That covers teams of one running a program day to day, larger creator marketing teams, and social, brand and content marketers who work with creators as part of a wider remit.

There are also sessions aimed squarely at CMOs and founders thinking about influencer strategically.

Here's what you'll get out of it:

• Four stages to pick from: Where influencer fits, How brands do influencer marketing, The feed, and Future of influence
• Strategy and tactics in equal measure: where influencer sits in the marketing mix, how teams structure campaigns and workflows, and what it takes to scale from 5 creators to 5,000
• The creator side of the table: sessions on what creators look for in brands, what makes collaborations work or fall apart, and why disclosure matters
• A strong speaker list: names from ŌURA, Stanley 1913, Adobe, Edelman, Ogilvy, Goodwipes, Amika, Olive & June and PMG, with more being announced
• Real case studies and candid conversation, not polished sales pitches
• Live networking: chat with other attendees and ask questions during sessions, and every registered attendee gets the recordings afterward

You can drop into whichever sessions suit you using the same link, and the whole thing runs in your browser with nothing to download.
