The In-Person GTM Maturity Model
This session introduces the In-Person GTM Maturity Model, a practical framework for evaluating the effectivenesss of your organization's in-person events strategy.
Instead of focusing on event volume or production quality, we look at how early and consistently in-person insights influence strategy, trust, and impact across your entire GTM motion. This is not a tactics deep dive. It is a guided self-assessment designed to help you understand where your in-person strategy stands today and what actually moves you forward.
You will leave with clarity on:
- Where your organization sits on the in-person GTM maturity curve
- Why some teams gain influence and trust faster than others
- How reliance on heroics can quietly limit scale and career growth
- One concrete opportunity to improve consistency, structure, and outcome
If you are responsible for events, field marketing, or revenue impact, this session will help you see your work through a more strategic lens!

Behind every buying decision is a person, and in a world run on relationships, trust, and reputation, the mechanism for growth is the same whether you’re building on LinkedIn or anywhere else: people buy from brands they believe in. In this session, Elfried Samba makes the case for human-to-human brand building as the most powerful growth lever in modern B2B. As paid media becomes more expensive and less reliable, the brands pulling ahead are those that turn attention into trust, trust into community, and community into revenue. Elfried brings first-hand operating experience to the stage. As former Global Head of Social Content at Gymshark, he helped scale one of the world’s most influential community-led brands by turning social audiences into cultural believers. Today, through his agency Butterfly Effect, he works with brands including Netflix, Bumble, Formula E, Square, LinkedIn, Adobe, and Vodafone, helping them build community-powered growth engines that compound over time. Alongside this, Elfried is also one of LinkedIn’s most influential creators, with a fast-growing audience built by applying the same community-first principles in real time - proving that the rules of brand, community, and trust work just as powerfully in B2B as they do in consumer culture. Attendees will leave with a clear, practical framework for community insurance - the signals, behaviors, and habits that help brands defend against volatility, build belief at scale, and grow even when performance marketing stops performing. This isn’t about vibes or vanity metrics. It’s about building trust like a system and capitalising on it.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
