THREE AWESOME CONFERENCES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER
VANCOUVER, BC The first Traction Conference took place in 2015 from June 17-18 in Vancouver, and returned on June
22-24, 2016 and May 31-June 1, 2017. Attendees were witness to an incredible amount of expertise
delivered on growth, marketing, and analytics from over 30 CEOs, founders, and Growth Hackers from
companies such as Hootsuite, Lyft, LinkedIn, Dropbox, Marketo, among many others.
Launch Academy, Boast Capital and Victory Square drew crowds of over 700 growth hackers. The day and a half of
the conference was dense with actionable, stimulating, and relatable accounts, insights, and guiding philosophies
that were motivation rocket fuel for the ambitious entrepreneur.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA Due to popular demand, Traction Conference expanded to SF within a few months. While Traction Vancouver
focused more on customer acquisition and retention, Traction SF focused more on conversion optimization,
monetization, sales, partnerships, and scaling growth.
