About EMAS
The DDMA Email Marketing Automation Summit (EMAS) brings together the brightest minds in email, CRM and marketing automation. Expect a day filled with inspiring speakers, practical strategies and valuable networking opportunities at one of the most distinctive event locations in Amsterdam.
The experience at EMAS goes beyond what AI, Google or open forums can tell you. From deliverability and omnichannel strategy to AI, analytics and customer experience. Every session is designed to provide directly applicable insights for your day-to-day practice, while connecting you with peers across the industry.
Need approval to attend?
Want to join EMAS but need internal approval first? We’ve prepared a ready-to-use email to help you explain the value of attending to your manager or team.
About the Jury
The EMAS Awards are judged by an independent panel of experts from the worlds of email marketing, CRM and marketing automation. Together, they assess all submissions on creativity, strategy, innovation, execution and impact. For each category, the jury will select three nominees. The winners will be announced live during EMAS 2026 on June 11 at Circa Amsterdam.
