Activating Intent: Improving Strategy. Driving Growth.
March 20, 2025
Brought to you by Informa TechTarget, Activating Intent is a one-day virtual event dedicated to helping product, marketing, sales and revenue operations leaders get maximum value out of intent data across their go-to-market. Featuring insights from some of B2B’s best experts and practitioners, you’ll walk away with fresh insights on building an intent-fueled go-to-market, including how to use intent data to improve key strategic and tactical revenue drivers.
WHY ATTEND
As management teams increasingly scrutinize new technology purchases and existing renewals, the pressure is on to squeeze out as much value as possible. When it comes to the tech stack, we’re seeing a shift away from “more is better.” Instead, leaders are strengthening core capabilities that can directly impact revenue in the near term. This is where intent data shines. By putting precise buyer and market insight at the center of your processes, you can unlock the needs and preferences of your buyers to better activate marketing and sales in relevant, personalized ways. Activating Intent features an all-star lineup of intent experts and practitioners who will discuss and demonstrate how behavioral data can accelerate your growth.

Many GTM teams dream of building a demand gen approach that yields high quality leads that are ready to be converted into winning opportunities. But this doesn’t happen by chance; it requires an integrated and aligned approach to identifying the right accounts and engaging them with contextually relevant messaging.

What’s their secret to success?
Join Christian O’Neill, Senior Customer Success Manager (Informa TechTarget), as he sits down with Alexander Pasch, Digital Marketing Transformation Manager (Schneider Electric), to discuss how Schneider Electric integrates insights from real purchase intent data into their GTM playbooks.

From Market Trends to Tactics: Leveraging Intent Data in Healthcare
Learn more
The healthcare industry faces significant changes in 2025, including shifts in Medicare spending, the rise of mHealth, and advanced fraud management. For go-to-market leaders, this raises an urgent question: how can you adapt your strategies to meet the evolving priorities of your buyers?
Although recognizing how your buyers’ needs are evolving is a great place to start, turning insights into action is what drives real business growth. This is why savvy healthcare marketers and sellers are leveraging intent data to uncover demand and identify untapped opportunities. In this session, Kyle Murphy, VP of Editorial (Xtelligent Healthcare Media) and Byrony Seifert, SVP, Audience Operations (Informa TechTarget), will reveal key findings from the 2025 Technology Spending Intentions Survey on the latest buying trends and shifts in the healthcare market. They’ll also share actionable tactics for using intent data to engage, educate and convert today’s busy buyers.
10:00 AM EDT / 2:00 PM GMT
Content Crowdsourcing: Using Market Intent Signals to Fuel Your Content Strategy
Learn more
Odds are you’re familiar with the concept of personalization. Most B2B tech marketing and sales leaders are heavily focused on personalizing their content, email campaigns and cold outreach in the hopes of improving conversions and increasing revenue. And yet, we’re not talking as much about personalization’s often-forgotten but equally important cousin, relevance.
In a world noisy with marketing messages and digital content, standing out from the crowd is harder than ever. But what if you could actually leverage wisdom from the crowd (i.e. your buyers) to create content that’s more relevant and engaging? That’s where market intent comes into play – to build better content, you first need better insight. Join Informa TechTarget’s Katie Graybeal and Dominic Ventresca as they dig into the power of market intent and demonstrate how to leverage Market Monitor, Informa TechTarget’s market intent tool, to compare content needs by market and industry. They’ll walk through practical use cases for tapping into market insights and behavioral data to engage specific markets and functions, building content for in-market buyers and tailoring messaging for increased resonance accounts.
11:00 AM EDT / 3:00 PM GMT
Less Leads. More Revenue. Learning To Love Buying Groups.
Learn more
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, MQLs have been a bedrock concept that most of us in B2B have grown up with. And despite their imperfections, MQLs have provided both a measure and a signal around which a lot of process and automation have been built, so it’s to be expected that “news of their demise” has encountered some resistance. At the same time, the logic of buying groups can’t be ignored. Early results are very attractive to practitioners and management alike. We believe that the right go-forward for most organizations will be to take a hybrid approach, one that leverages classic capabilities but augments them to address new understanding and potential.
In this session, three Informa TechTarget experts will cover buying groups from three different perspectives: What is attractive about buying groups (and unattractive); what we’re seeing among our clients and partners; and how we’re addressing the transition through feature function in our intent-driven solutions. Join CMO John Steinert, client consultant Mark Tarro, and product lead David Edwards for an up-to-the-minute examination of the considerations you, your team, and your bosses should be looking at closely.
12:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM GMT
How Intent Data + AI Helps You Market and Sell Better
Learn more
Traditional digital marketing and sales outreach performance continues to decline: According to Pavilion and Ebsta’s 2024 B2B Sales Benchmarks, sales cycles increased by 16% and win rates declined by 18%. We’ve all heard that AI is a generational technology poised to help us reverse these trends. Of course, the hype is outpacing real progress. AI is cool, but exactly how do you take the first, second and next steps to leverage it effectively within your stack and workflow?
In this session we’ll dive into how Informa TechTarget is innovating to help marketers and sellers benefit from AI in practical ways. Product experts will demo AI-related innovations at multiple stages of the prospect-to-opportunity lifecycle: How AI helps marketing engage prospects based on their specific needs; how AI helps sellers understand the context and dimension of prospect projects taking shape; and how AI helps craft personalized messaging for marketing promotions and 1-to-1 outbound cadences within tools like SalesLoft and Outreach.

The Partner Marketer’s Guide to Intent Data
Learn more
While many demand gen marketers are using intent data to drive better campaign outcomes, it’s been more challenging for partner and channel marketers to incorporate intent into their complex go-to-market (GTM) motions. Partner marketers often lack access and visibility into critical data, have limited to no integration with partner systems and tools, and tend to focus on traditional sales metrics rather than customer intent signals.
At Informa TechTarget, everything we do is fueled by intent – and with our strategy, content, and demand capabilities, we have a deep understanding of partner marketers. That’s why we invited Informa TechTarget partner marketing leaders Anita Covelli (VP, Portfolio Marketing and Strategic Partnerships) and Rachael Fuller (Product Marketing Manager, Partner Marketing) to help build a roadmap for getting started with intent data in partner marketing.
During this webinar, Anita and Rachael will discuss:
– Practical advice for getting started with a crawl, walk, run approach
– Common use cases for intent data in partner and channel marketing
– How to evaluate intent providers for partner marketing
