The 2025 Theme:
Game On

Level up or get left behind. This year’s Phocuswright Conference theme, Game On, is more than a rallying cry. It’s a point of no return—where the imperative to break out of the box and make bold moves has become just table stakes. Practically overnight (and forever), the playbook has changed. Dare to blink, and it’s Game Over.

Power-ups for pros

Pursue knowledge and growth to remain curious, motivated and open to new challenges.

Build a durable lead

Cultivate authentic relationships built on the drive to raise the bar for the entire industry.

Play it clean

We offset the carbon footprint of the entire event, including every attendee.

Destination: Southern California

With its vibrant energy, coastal charm, and unparalleled venue, San Diego sets the stage for bold conversations, innovative insights, and transformative connections.
