Possible Aims to Be Davos for Adland
Possible, a Miami-based media and marketing conference that gained attention with an Elon Musk keynote in 2023, is entering its fourth year with a larger physical footprint, roughly 25% higher attendance and a new content partnership with YouTube. Organized by Beyond Ordinary Events — which was reportedly acquired in 2024 by Shoptalk owner Hyve Group for about $40 million — the conference is expected to draw around 6,800 attendees from April 27 to 29. Last year’s attendance was 5,441, with a reported composition of approximately 30% brand marketers, 22% ad agency representatives, 32% tech vendors and 14% media company insiders. The YouTube partnership will extend Possible’s content online.
Conference expansion and a distribution partnership with YouTube increase industry networking and content reach but do not represent a major platform policy or infrastructure change.

Possible 2026 Scales Up With Eden Roc, Invite-Only Programming
Possible, the marketing and media conference owned by ShopTalk parent Hyve Group, is launching its fourth annual event in Miami Beach and expanding beyond the Fontainebleau. The event expects roughly 6,800 attendees (about a 25% increase from 5,441) and has grown its commercial partner count to 292 (from 165). Under leader Christian Muche, Possible is positioning itself as a Davos-like gathering for C-suite dealmaking, leaning into creators, AI, and celebrity appearances; past A-list participants have included Elon Musk, Martha Stewart and Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian. The 2026 edition will feature invite-only programming and an Eden Roc expansion as part of its broader scaling strategy.
Possible 2026: Miami Becomes New AdTech Hub
Possible 2026 took place in Miami Beach from April 27–29, 2026, drawing about 7,500 participants and senior executives from platforms, publishers, agencies and adtech. The event emphasized dense, informal networking across two major hotels and announced an expansion to Europe with Possible 2027 slated for Lisbon. Major partners included Google (Founding Partner), Pinterest and Salesforce (Platinum). Conversations focused less on AI hype and more on infrastructure, signal quality, the open internet, and where future value will accrue (platform ecosystems, CTV, retail media and new AI structures). Pinterest promoted an "Intention Economy" positioning while Microsoft showcased a publisher marketplace concept. Organizers—including Christian Muche—positioned Possible as a growing global meeting point for deal‑making and cross‑industry alliances.
Possible Conference Doubles Footprint, Boosts Marketer Attendance
The Possible conference, entering its fourth year and now under Hyve Group ownership, will expand its Miami footprint from the Fontainebleau Hotel to the neighboring Eden Roc Miami Beach and expects about 6,500 attendees (roughly 20% growth from 5,400 in 2025). Hyve has scaled 'meetups'—paid, paired meetings between brand marketers and solution providers—moving 3,000 sessions to a beach pavilion. Organizers emphasize increasing the share of CMOs and marketing executives onstage and in attendance, with speakers from Coca-Cola, Unilever, Hershey’s, Catalyst Brands and Crocs. MMA remains involved in driving marketer participation. Hyve frames the meetup format as valuable "gold dust" for vendors seeking buyer access.
