May 2026

May is when strategy meets scale.

This month brings together some of the biggest rooms of the spring alongside more intimate moments for founders and creators building in real time. From Meltwater Summit and The Lead Summit to the Clio Awards and deeper conversations around the future of digital advertising, May is full of events where ideas move into execution and relationships turn into real momentum.

PR, marketing, commerce, media, and creative worlds collide in meaningful ways. Big picture insight sits next to tactical learning. Industry celebration sits next to hands on work. Whether you are refining strategy, expanding your network, or looking ahead to where the ecosystem is moving, May offers no shortage of opportunities to show up and move things forward.

This guide is designed to help you cut through the noise and focus on events actually worth your time.
