On Thursday, June 11, 2026, industry association DDMA will host a new edition of the Email Marketing Automation Summit (EMAS) at Circa Amsterdam. EMAS is the premier knowledge event in the field of email marketing automation and a must-attend for every (email) marketer. Early-bird tickets are now available.
During EMAS, attendees will gain access to insights that can’t be found via AI, Google or open forums. All content is curated with real-world application in mind, tailored to help marketing professionals stay ahead. Topics include the future of automation and CRM, (generative) AI, deliverability, data privacy, creative execution, analytics, legal compliance and the evolving role of email within the broader marketing landscape.
We are excited to announce the first confirmed speakers for 2026:
- Beth O’Malley (astral)
The Email Reset: Strategy, Behaviour, and Performance in 2026 - Julia Janssen-Holldiek (eco e.V.)
Unlocking the Inbox: Strategies for Email Deliverability in the Future - Ben Hammond (BBC) & Conor Wilson (ActionRocket)
Inside BBC’s Walking with Dinosaurs Interactive Email Campaign - Adeola Sole (Lead Luxe Agency)
Moderator & CRM Thought Leader
As tradition dictates, the EMAS Awards will also be presented during the event. And back by popular demand: the Battle of the Agencies, in which agencies compete to develop the best email campaign for a soon-to-be-announced client. Registration for the competition opens soon.
