Content Marketing World 2019 is upon us. As the largest content marketing conference in the world, CMWorld brings together a stellar array of talented professionals who are filled with curiosity for future trends, marketing knowledge, and aspirations for new successes. For the past 11 years leading marketers from all over the world have gathered in Cleveland, Ohio for one of the world's strongest content marketing event, and this year is set to be the biggest and best yet. Readers of our blog know we have a long history with the conference starting at the beginning, with nine years of speaking and attending along with seven years of partnering with the Content Marketing Institute to develop speaker and influencer content marketing campaigns. Our partnership resulted in a interactive digital experience filled with show-stopping insights from top marketers who will be taking the stage this week. If you haven't yet experienced it, have a look here: 
Another TopRank Marketing tradition that has been imitated in recent years but never truly duplicated, is our annual list of content marketing experts ranked according to their social influence, a helpful compilation derived from the excellent 200-plus #CMWorld speakers. List Methodology: For this list we utilize the Traackr influencer marketing platform to filter the content marketing experts who are speaking at the current year's Content Marketing World conference using a large number of criteria including the relevance of the individuals to the topic, the degree to which their networks engage, the size of their networks, and other factors. Online data is pulled from blogs, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, SlideShare, Flickr and other platforms. The focus topic in question is most definitely "content marketing," and everyone included on this list is:
- A speaker at #CMWorld 2019
- Ranked in the top-50 for "content marketing" according to relevance, resonance, reach and audience metrics
People always thank me for including them in these lists and there's no thanks to be given other than to the people who worked hard sharing useful knowledge about content marketing to their social channels, in blogs, videos, and online in general. Many thanks go to ALL the people who are actively sharing knowledge about content marketing by engaging and helping others with helpful opinions, insights and expertise on the social web. This list is only a starting point to help expand your content marketing universe. In this year's list there are familiar faces and quite a few new entries. We plan to learn new lessons from these 50 content marketing influencers and hope you’ll do the same throughout the year and into 2020.
