B2B IRL: Mumbai.

One day, one room, and the B2B marketers who actually run the work. Working sessions instead of keynotes, real numbers instead of polished case studies, and nothing on the record.

/mumbai/why

Not another marketing conference.

Most events are built for the stage. This one is built for the people in the room.

01

Working sessions over presentations

Small groups, a whiteboard and a real problem. You leave with something you can use on Monday.

02

Real numbers over highlight reels

What it cost, what broke, what you'd do differently. The version that never makes it into a case study.

03

Off the record

No recordings, no livestream, no quotes without permission. People say more when nobody's filming.

04

Operators, not pundits

Every voice in the room has run the campaign, owned the number or built the team. Nobody is there to sell to you.

/mumbai/tracks

What we'll dig into.

Four tracks, each run as a hands-on session. You pick the two that matter most to you when you apply.

Track 01 Demand & pipeline

Pipeline that holds up

Demand gen, ABM and attribution that survives a board meeting.

Track 02 Brand & positioning

Being remembered

Positioning, category and brand for B2B buyers who all sound the same.

Track 03 AI in GTM

AI, applied

Workflows teams are actually running for content, research and outbound.

Track 04 Founder-led & community

Selling from India to the world

Founder-led marketing, community and building for global buyers from Mumbai.

/mumbai/agenda

The shape of the day.

The full agenda and session hosts go to selected guests first. Here's how the day runs.

  1. Morning

    Arrivals, chai and introductions

    Name tags with what you're working on, not just your title.

  2. Session 1

    Opening conversation

    One honest fireside with an operator about what actually worked, and what didn't.

  3. Session 2

    Working sessions: tracks 01 and 02

    Small tables, one problem each, a host who has solved it before.

  4. Midday

    Long-table lunch

    Seating is planned so you meet the people you should meet.

  5. Session 3

    Working sessions: tracks 03 and 04

    Same format. Bring your laptop, leave with something built.

  6. Evening

    Ask the room, then drinks

    Open-floor questions you can't post on LinkedIn, then the conversations that keep going.

Why Mumbai first.

So many of India's B2B companies, and the marketers building them, already work here. They just haven't had a room of their own.

Questions.

Anything else: hello@b2birl.com

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no ticket price. Seats are limited, so attendance is by application or invite only.

When and where is it?

Saturday, 28 November 2026, in Mumbai. The exact venue and timings go to selected guests with their invite.

How are guests selected?

A person reads every application. We look for hands-on B2B marketers and founders who'll share openly, and we balance the room across roles, company stages and industries.

When will I hear back?

We review in batches and email selected guests directly. If the room fills before we reach you, we'll let you know and keep you first in line for the next one.

Can I bring a colleague?

Invites are personal and can't be transferred. Your colleague is welcome to apply on their own.

Will sessions be recorded?

No. Everything is off the record. Nothing gets quoted or shared without the speaker's permission.

I sell to marketers. Can I attend?

Not as a guest. If you'd like to support the event, write to us about partnering. Partners don't pitch from the stage.
