We hope to see you at the 2026 SHAZAM Forum

This year’s theme is Power of Partnership, and we're excited to offer a jam-packed agenda with two keynote speakers, a fireside chat and several breakout sessions to choose from. In recognition of SHAZAM’s 50th anniversary, forum attendees will have a chance to win a $1,000 donation to a charity of their choice.

50 Grand Years giveaway

As SHAZAM celebrates 50 years of service this year, we’re giving back $50,000 to charities chosen by our clients, employees and business partners — supporting causes that matter to people throughout our industry.

We’re kicking off the campaign with clients at forum , where attendees will have the chance to win a $1,000 donation to a non-profit of their choice.
