Not Your Normal
Conference
Not Your Normal Conference
A one-of-a-kind, in-person live event that’s equal parts celebration, thought leadership, and digital broadcasting magic.
This isn’t your typical industry conference. Nope, not even close.
We’re talking about a 15th-anniversary party disguised as an immersive, hybrid experience—where the best minds in CRM, tech, and digital broadcasting come together live and virtually to learn, connect, and have fun. And let’s be honest, we couldn’t resist celebrating our 15th anniversary on our 16th anniversary.
It’s just how we roll.

Atlanta Tech Village

Atlanta, GA 30305
IRL 2025 isn’t just an event; it’s where vendors, practitioners, analysts, influencers, and Atlanta’s tech community will collide (in the best way) to swap ideas, spotlight innovation, and hopefully network the time away.
Here’s what makes this celebration special—engagement galore: We're featuring can’t-miss moments like the CRM Watchlist Grand Finale Awards, live interviews with industry powerhouses, special guests, and some really creative (we pat ourselves on the back here) stuff. A combination of thought leadership and media.
You get exclusive access to watch all aspects of our event—LIVE— with your virtual admission.

CELEBRATE 15 (16)
YEARS WITH US
If you don’t know us (we will refer to ourselves in the 3rd person here) Paul Greenberg and Brent Leary are CRM experts in their own right and when they came together over 15 years ago to create the CRM Playaz, they created industry magic (that’s us talking).
With over a decade of discussion on all matter's customer-facing (not just CRM, CX or customer engagement) and for the fun that guests and the hosts have, deep audience participation is their hallmark. Now it's time to celebrate the countless hours the CRM Playaz has dedicated to making the industry fun and exciting. AND, we hope to show you what organizations have to do to stay up with content creation and distribution in the 21st century.
Plus, our famous PPN show lineup will be running live throughout the day. Not every show, but plenty to keep you hooked.
See our agenda for that schedule as it evolves.
