Overview

SaaS Connect is the definitive event for SaaS partnerships and ecosystem-led growth. While most marketing conferences focus on demand gen and content, SaaS Connect zeroes in on the partnership channel — which, for many SaaS companies, drives 30-50% of revenue.

The event brings together VP-level partnership leaders from companies like HubSpot, Salesforce, Monday.com, and hundreds of mid-market SaaS companies. Sessions cover partnership program design, co-selling motions, integration marketplaces, and the art of building ecosystem flywheets.

Why SaaS Marketers Should Attend

Partnerships are increasingly central to SaaS marketing. If you’re running co-marketing campaigns, building integration landing pages, or leveraging partner ecosystems for distribution, SaaS Connect gives you the strategic framework.

  • Partner-led growth strategies that complement your demand gen programs
  • Co-marketing best practices — how to run webinars, content, and campaigns with partners
  • Integration marketplace optimization — making your listings on partner marketplaces convert
  • Relationship building with potential integration and co-marketing partners

Who Should Go

Partnership leaders, heads of business development, SaaS founders exploring ecosystem strategies, and marketers responsible for co-marketing programs. If partnerships are part of your GTM, this is your event.

Networking Tips

  1. Come with a list of target partners and reach out before the event to schedule meetings.
  2. The event is small enough that you can realistically talk to most attendees. Use that intimacy.
  3. Focus on finding 3-5 genuine partnership opportunities rather than collecting business cards.

Why SaaS Marketers Attend

Conferences like SaaS Connect are where the SaaS marketing playbook gets rewritten. You hear what's actually working from practitioners (not just speakers selling courses), build relationships that turn into partnerships, and get a concentrated dose of competitive intelligence you can't get from blog posts.

If you're serious about growing a B2B SaaS company, showing up matters. The hallway conversations alone are worth the ticket price.
