Sales leadership is evolving fast, and 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for revenue teams. One conference setting the agenda early is the Gartner CSO & Sales Leader Conference, taking place May 19–20, 2026, in Las Vegas.
Hosted by Gartner, this two-day conference is designed for senior sales leaders who want data-backed insight into what’s changing—and what’s coming next.
A Strategic Conference for Modern Sales Leaders
Unlike tactical sales conferences, this function focuses on high-level decision-making. Gartner’s research-driven sessions help sales leaders evaluate long-term strategy, not just short-term performance.
Topics center on sales organization design, revenue growth planning, and adapting to changing buyer behavior. For professionals thinking beyond quotas and toward sustainable growth, this conference offers a broader view of the sales landscape.
Key Themes Shaping Sales in 2026
The Gartner CSO & Sales Leader Conference is built around challenges many leaders are already facing:
- Aligning sales strategy with shifting market expectations
- Improving productivity without overloading teams
- Using data and technology to support smarter decisions
- Building sales organizations that can adapt quickly
These themes speak directly to the pressures sales leaders feel as buying cycles become longer, buyers become more informed, and teams operate across hybrid environments.
Why This Conference Stands Out
One of the defining features of Gartner’s conference is access to analysts who study sales trends year-round. Attendees can expect frameworks grounded in research, benchmarking, and real-world data.
Tyler Eppes sees this type of insight as critical for sales professionals who want to stay relevant. Strong selling still relies on relationships, but leadership now demands clarity, alignment, and long-term thinking.
Looking Ahead
For sales leaders planning their 2026 strategy, the Gartner CSO & Sales Leader Conference offers a focused opportunity to step back and evaluate what’s working—and what needs to change.
As Tyler Eppes often emphasizes, growth in sales comes from learning, adapting, and staying ahead of the curve. Conferences like this help sales professionals do exactly that.
