Recently, I — and about 1,000 of my fellow B2B marketers — traveled to Washington, D.C., for the 2019 MarketingProfs B2B Forum. Over 48 hours, we networked, discussed challenges and opportunities for our industries and learned from industry experts across a variety of disciplines.
I not only took away actionable insights, copies of presentations and some new LinkedIn connections, but I also added some of the session speakers to my Twitter roster.
Whether they’re sharing original content or curating posts from around the Twitterverse, here are seven B2B marketing influencers I recommend following on Twitter, including a sample tweet and what they spoke about at #MPB2B.

Brenner’s presentation was on content marketing as the future of B2B and tips on how to be successful.
