ATLANTA—After hosting local marketing gatherings for a decade, GreenMellen has announced the first-ever Brighter Web Conference on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at the Cobb Chamber of Commerce offices in the Battery Atlanta.
The all-day event will include five industry speakers, food, networking, and giveaways—all focused on building community for local Atlanta marketers and business leaders.
“We’ve wanted to host a conference for years now, and we’re excited to finally have this opportunity,” said GreenMellen co-founder Mickey Mellen. “Our meetups are one of our favorite things we do, and the conference only takes that sense of community to the next level.”
A digital marketing agency headquartered in Marietta, GreenMellen includes education and community as tightly held core values. That’s why the team has organized the Brighter Web initiative since the agency was founded in 2009.
The five conference speakers boast an array of marketing experience, own their own marketing businesses, and several have published books. Topics covered will include finding meaning in work, lead generation, branding, business momentum, and how AI will reshape our work and society.
The Brighter Web conference is perfect for local marketers, agency teams, or technology enthusiasts looking to connect with like-minded people and learn more about current trends.
