Expect sessions ranging from those dedicated to CMOs, founders, and marketing leaders looking to understand how to manage influencer programs strategically, all the way to tactical sessions for teams of one running influencer programs day-to-day.
How much does it cost?
The festival is completely free to attend.

How do I register/join?
Simply register using the form on this page. Once you're registered, we'll send everything you need to join the festival before the event - including updates on new lineup additions and the full agenda once released.
The festival runs entirely in your browser, so you don’t need to download or install anything. We'll send you a link before the event, and you can join with a single click.
Can I attend only certain sessions? How is the day split?
Absolutely. The festival runs throughout the day, but you're welcome to join whichever sessions interest you most by using the same link.
The day is split into four stages: Where influencer fits, How brands do influencer marketing, The feed and Future of influence.
Each stage has a different theme and the sessions taking place during that time will be relevant to it.
More details about the stages can be found under “Four stages to learn” on this page.
We’ll also publish the full agenda ahead of the event so you can plan your day.
Will sessions be recorded?
Yes. All registered attendees will receive access to the recording after the festival.
Is this another webinar?
No. Return on Influence Festival '26 is designed to feel like a festival rather than a traditional virtual conference. It includes front-row seats to creator content, interactive formats, and high production value throughout the day. The creator economy is fun - we want our festival to reflect that!
Will there be networking?
Yes. Chat live with other attendees, ask questions during sessions, and join conversations throughout the day.
When will the full agenda be available?
The full agenda will be published in early October, with additional speakers announced over the coming weeks.
