Why is SAM Rainmaker considered an original?

Traditional conferences offer career keynote speakers, self-aggrandizing panel members, and an overwhelming number of breakout sessions. (And why is it that they always schedule the best sessions for the same time, making it physically impossible to attend them all?)  We're original because our event setting is very different—by design.


We have all talks in one place—one after another. So you're assured of learning from the best-of-the-best practitioners (not career keynote speakers) in the business. Yep! real sales, and marketing Rainmakers who, by the way, won't pitch products or services from the stage. And, another thing, we don't have branded bags or useless swag that fills them up. (Do you really need another cheap, plastic, non-writing pen!)


Who should attend SAM Rainmaker? 

Sales or marketing practitioners who want to do their jobs better. And small business owners (or decision-makers) who are serious about sales, and marketing making a greater impact on business.


Why should I attend SAM Rainmaker '26?

There's no other sales or marketing event on earth that offers as many smart strategies and practical tools you need to do your job better—no matter your skill area or level of expertise. Plus, the kinship and enlightened inspiration you'll experience is one-of-a-kind.

Can I make meaningful connections at SAM Rainmaker? 

Yes. We help you by color-coding attendees' name tags by their professions. This makes for the perfect conversational icebreaker. (Besides, nobody cares about the weather because we'll be indoors.) And, of course, we'll provide plenty of time for your introductions. We also limit the number of attendees to 100, which makes for a more relaxed environment for your conversations.
