About National Field Marketer’s Day

National Field Marketer’s Day is observed on September 23 as a professional-recognition day created by event-marketing company Splash in 2021.

The observance highlights people who run field marketing programs and customer-facing events, but it does not create universal workplace rights, compensation rules or performance standards.

Why National Field Marketer’s Day matters

The day is meant to make field-marketing work more visible and to recognize the planning, coordination and relationship-building that happens around in-person and hybrid programs.

Recognition can be as simple as a thank-you or team acknowledgement; employers should still follow their own policies and applicable employment rules for compensation, rewards and performance management.

History of National Field Marketer’s Day

On September 8, 2021, Splash announced that it had created the inaugural National Field Marketer’s Day for September 23, 2021.

The launch described the day as a first-of-its-kind recognition effort for field marketers and related customer-facing marketing roles.

Splash said at launch that it planned for National Field Marketer’s Day to become an annual celebration of the profession.

In 2025, official Cvent community material for Splash again promoted September 23 as National Field Marketer’s Day and invited nominations and professional recognition, showing continued creator-side recurrence.

Available creator material establishes the date and lifecycle but does not give a separate documented reason for why September 23 was selected.
