The biggest youth marketing festival is back – and we’re going stateside, baby!
What is YMS?
Youth Marketing Strategy (YMS) is the event where the future of youth culture is decided. In its thirteenth evolution (where does the time go!?), YMS New York is the only event to attend for brands with a true passion for youth marketing.
YMS has changed the marketing landscape forever, and we know this year is set to be the biggest yet.
When is YMS NYC taking place?
YMS New York takes place on the 20th and 21st of March 2024. Over 97% of the US’ top 100 advertisers have previously been represented at YMS NYC, whilst 86% of delegates will influence new partnership decisions.
Last year’s event showcased 100 expert voices throughout the planned talks, boasting a whopping 27 hours of authoritative content in total!
