For more than a decade, B2B Summit has served as the premier destination and community for marketing, sales and product leaders to exchange ideas, access the latest research on key industry trends, and learn about new frameworks and models to operate more efficiently. The event will have more than 100 track sessions featuring top analysts, thought leaders, and innovative technology providers who will offer their perspectives, inspiration, and real-world solutions to help sales, product, and marketing leaders align their growth strategies.

Ms. Swisher has a long-standing reputation for driving substantive discussions about how to hold the powerful accountable and shed light on voices who are powerful in fresh and new ways.

Swisher is the host of “Sway,” the twice-weekly interview podcast about power by New York Times Opinion. She has been a contributing Opinion writer since 2018. Over her career, Swisher has hosted hundreds of news-making interviews, going head to head with prominent figures including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Rupert Murdoch, Stacey Abrams, and President Barack Obama.
