The Aligned Conference was started in 2014 to fill a major gap in the marketing conference circuit. Promoboxx employees were looking for a conference to attend where brands could come together and brainstorm on how they approached the retail marketing channel. We were surprised to find that there wasn’t a single current event that fit what we were looking for!
We saw that there was no market fit, so we thought, we have the expertise from our own experience working with big brands and local retailers every single day about this exact topic. Who could be better equipped to sponsor this sort of event? So, in line with two of our values, ‘Focus on the Big Things’ and ‘Be a Leader’, we created it on our own!
And so, the Aligned Conference was born. We named the conference ‘Aligned’ because it is what the conference strives to do: align brands with their local retailers. The Aligned Conference is the only national event that focuses on providing key strategies to develop marketing alignment between national brands and their local retailers.
“If you’re on the retail marketing team there was no true industry event for you. With Aligned we’re building that place, where brands can collaborate with other brands, and work together to make retailers stronger marketers and business people.”– Ben Carcio, Co-Founder and CEO

“Aligned is the first of its kind. An opportunity for retail, trade, digital, and field marketers to meet fellow cohorts across several industries like automotive, home, outdoor, cycling, footwear, animal nutrition, and more! All with the sole purpose of learning more about the nuances and best practices of marketing with their independent retailers.” – Sonciary Honnoll, Co-Founder and VP of Brands
