Meet our Braze experts at Braze Forge 2026

Mavlers Agency will be on-site as a Silver sponsor at Braze Forge 2026, September 28-30th, 2026, at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, where its certified Braze specialists will offer 20-minute lifecycle program reviews to attendees who book a session in advance.

Why Mavlers Agency is there

Braze Forge is Braze's own annual customer engagement conference, built around how brands design, personalize, and scale messaging across email, push, in-app, and SMS using real-time data. 

Braze's own reporting on the 2025 event shows 100% of attendees said they enjoyed the event and 99% said their time onsite was useful, and the conference issued 890 on-site Braze certifications, making it one of the highest-engagement events in the lifecycle marketing calendar rather than a typical trade-show crowd. 

For an agency that runs Braze delivery work across its partner network, showing up in person is the most direct way to stay current on where the platform is heading and to meet the marketers running lifecycle programs day to day, rather than reading about it after the fact.

What Mavlers Agency is offering

Rather than a standard sponsor-booth conversation, Mavlers Agency is offering something with a clear deliverable attached: a 20-minute session with one of its certified Braze experts, built to give an outside, unbiased read on an existing lifecycle program. That format matters because most people running a Braze instance day-to-day rarely get an external second opinion on their setup. 

Braze's team is naturally focused on the product, and most agencies on the conference floor are there to sell, not audit for free.

The session runs as a working review rather than a pitch. Attendees bring a specific flow, a welcome series, a win-back campaign, or a broader cross-channel orchestration setup, and walk away with a short list of what is working, what is likely costing them engagement, and where the gap sits between the current setup and what a well-run instance looks like. 

Common findings in sessions like this tend to cluster around a handful of patterns; segments that no longer match how the audience actually behaves, automations built around a feature Braze has since improved or replaced, and personalization logic that stopped updating after the team that built it moved on to other work.

Braze certification isn't a small credential to collect. It requires demonstrating working proficiency across the platform's messaging, personalization, and data tooling, which is part of why Braze tracks and publicizes certification counts at its own events. A team that shows up with four certified specialists, rather than a single account manager fielding general questions, is a different kind of booth conversation than most sponsors offer.

Who's representing Mavlers Agency?

The team on-site includes Nital Shah, Co-Founder of Mavlers Agency, alongside Chintan Doshi, Mary Miller, and Matt Kelly, all part of the agency's certified Braze specialist team. Having a co-founder physically at the booth, rather than only account or delivery staff, is worth noting in itself. It signals that Braze is a platform Mavlers Agency has decided to invest leadership time in, not just a table to staff for three days.

When and where

Braze Forge 2026 runs September 28 through 30, 2026, at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas. Mavlers Agency will be present for the full three days as a Silver-level sponsor, with its team available across the event floor and by scheduled meeting for the 20-minute lifecycle sessions.

How to book a session

Sessions are limited and scheduled in advance rather than run first-come at the booth, so attendees who want a guaranteed slot should book ahead of the event rather than hope to catch the team between sessions. Book a fun & informative braindate with Chintan Doshi for personalized advice and strategic insights.

Why it matters beyond the conference

For agencies and brands attending Forge, an external audit from a team that runs Braze delivery work across a large partner network is a low-risk way to find out whether a lifecycle program has drifted from what it was originally built to do. 

Most Braze instances that have been live for two or three product cycles are carrying some amount of workflow debt without anyone on the internal team noticing it in the day-to-day.

For Mavlers Agency, the conference itself is not really the point. The point is the same pattern driving the company's wider growth; it has now crossed 600 agency partners worldwide, adding more than 20 new partners a month over the past year, largely because agencies would rather bring in a team that already has the certifications and delivery process in place than build one from scratch. 

A conference booth staffed by a co-founder and three certified specialists, offering a working session instead of a sales pitch, is that same logic applied to a single afternoon on a conference floor: show up with something concrete enough that a stranger has a real reason to sit down for 20 minutes.
