If there’s one thing I’ve learned building out Metricool’s presence across three countries, it’s this: social media doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and neither should the people managing it. Behind every scheduled post and every dashboard is a real person trying to keep up, stand out, and stay sane. And the best way to support that is to show up where they are.
So that’s what we’re doing. All year. Across the map.
Here’s the full rundown of where Metricool is showing up in 2026: from massive industry conferences to the kind of small-room, real-talk events where the best conversations actually happen.
🇺🇸 USA
In January, we kicked things off in Orlando with Podfest, where creators and podcasters gathered to talk content strategy in a space that’s equal parts community and classroom. Here we connected with podcasters about how social media plays a huge role in podcast promotion and distribution, especially in short-form video sharing.
February was a fully virtual-event month, with two back-to-back summits: the Social Media Strategies Summit and the eMarketer Creator Economy Summit, both great if you want deep industry insight and connect with high-profile speakers and creators without the travel budget. PR, Events, and Education Manager Anniston Ward shared Metricool’s 2026 Social Media Study data live at both summits.
March took us back to Orlando for Ragan’s Social Media Conference, a longtime staple for comms and social teams looking to sharpen their craft. Anniston also shared insights from the 2026 Social Media Study and takeaways from Metricool’s first-ever Well-Being in Social Media Professionals Survey on stage, where over 1,000 respondents reported high levels of burnout, overload, and work stress. It was a moment to reflect on how we can create more sustainable systems, strategies, and mental health awareness for today’s industry professionals.
April was a big one. Our first stop was in New York for AdWeek Social Media Week and then across the country in Anaheim for Social Media Marketing World, arguably one of the largest gatherings of social media marketers anywhere. You can find a full deep-dive of Anniston’s AdWeek recap here.
September brings us back to New York for DMWF North America, where Anniston will be speaking again.
🇨🇦 Canada
Metricool’s Canadian footprint runs coast to coast:
In May, the Metricool team attended SocialWest in Calgary, Alberta. Anniston shared insights from Metricool’s latest social media studies to over 800 Canadian social media professionals.
October: SocialEast in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where Anniston will once again be on stage sharing Metricool’s industry report insights and learnings.
Two very different cities, same mission: connecting with social media professionals who are shaping strategy from the ground up.
🇬🇧 UK
The UK calendar is stacked this year.
May started strong with DMWF Global and SocialDay Social Media Fest, both in London. At DMWF, Anniston presented to nearly 200 social media professionals, while Maddy Allen, Metricool’s UK representative, took the stage for the first time to connect with professionals in Shoreditch.
June took us north to Newcastle for Atomicon, where Maddy presented for the second time, enlightening social media professionals on the latest cutting-edge Metricool data.
September brings a bit of a different energy with TEDx Northern Quarter in Manchester — always inspiring to be somewhere ideas take center stage.
October and November will close things out with ZC Live and B2B Marketing Live, rounding out a full year of UK presence.
Metricool Community Events: The Smaller, Closer-to-Home Gatherings
Alongside the big industry conferences, we’ve been building something more intimate: a running calendar of Metricool-hosted community events designed for real connection, not just networking-speak.
April brought two standout nights in New York City:
- Metricool x The Marketing Groupe presented The 2026 Social Playbook at Fabrik in Tribeca.
- The Social Media Collective, our ongoing series bringing social media pros together for candid conversation.
May continued the momentum with The Social Media Collective: The LinkedIn Playbook, also at Fabrik in Tribeca.
June took things home to Austin with Sip, Stretch, Be Social at Grit ATX — a free Pilates class taught by Anniston, built around Metricool’s Well-Being in Social Media Professionals research. Because burnout in this industry is real, and sometimes the most useful thing we can do is get people off their phones and onto a mat for an hour.
July wraps the community series (so far) with The Social Media Collective: The Instagram Playbook — What the Algorithm Actually Wants at BrainStation in New York City. With Metricool’s 2026 Instagram study hot off the press, and over 6 confirmed speakers, this is a room you want to be in.
Three countries, a dozen-plus cities, and every format from massive expo floors to a Pilates mat in Austin. A lot of ground to cover, but that’s kind of the point. Wherever social media professionals are gathering to learn, connect, or just catch their breath, we want Metricool to be part of that room.
