Keynote addresses will be delivered by Stephen J.

MarketingSherpa is a research institute specializing in tracking what works in all aspects of marketing and publishes research for the benefit of the global marketing community. The organization's goal is to provide marketers with the instructions, statistics and inspiration to improve their results.

"This year, for the first time we're live-streaming video of our opening session and case studies of the Best B2B and B2C Email Campaigns from the 2015 MarketingSherpa Awards in order to support marketers around the world unable to join us for the MarketingSherpa Email Summit," said Daniel Burstein, director of editorial content for MECLABS.

The live-streamed video can be viewed at www.marketingsherpa.com.

Sessions focus on a broad range of email marketing issues including list growth tactics, messaging and deliverability. In addition, a select few organizations will be recognized by MarketingSherpa for their innovative and results-driven campaigns. The awards, sponsored by BlueHornet, will be given to:

Finish Line, a leading athletic retailer, for Best Business-to-consumer (B2C) Email Campaign;

Ferguson Enterprises, a diverse wholesale distributor of plumbing supplies, for "Best Business-to-business (B2B) Email Campaign; and

The Microsoft Store, a brick-and-mortar and online retailer, as the first Readers' Choice Award honoree. MarketingSherpa blog readers picked Microsoft from a field of five finalist campaigns including World Jewish Congress, Precor, The Kentucky Derby and JAM Paper.

A collection of case studies from award winners and finalists will be released on Feb. 25 and will be available online.

Another conference highlight is the annual "live test" set for Feb. 24 where conference attendees participate in a conversion optimization test to see how much difference an email subject line, content and format really make in response rate. This year's nonprofit test partner is VolunteerMatch, an organization that connects good people and good causes. In 2014, VolunteerMatch generated more than $1 billion in social value for more than 100,000 nonprofits across the U.S.

"We're also hosting a post-Summit wrap up webinar, presenting highlights of the conference, and will be releasing videos of the Summit for attendees and non-attendees to watch," said Burstein.
