About the Event

The age of AI is no longer a distant future; it’s a present-day reality that is reshaping the marketing landscape at an unprecedented speed.

For CMOs, this brings both an existential crisis and an incredible new way of working. How do you lead your team through this monumental shift? How do you separate the hype from the genuine opportunities? And how do you ensure that your brand’s voice isn’t lost in a sea of automated content?

Most AI sessions talk about tools, very few talk about reinventing workstreams.

Join us for a candid conversation with leading marketing minds as we go beyond the generic AI talk to discover the bleeding-edge ways of working that are transforming marketing today. We’ll explore the real feelings, challenges, and opportunities that AI presents, and show you how AI is embedded into real workflows, not bolted on at the end.

You’ll see how modern marketing teams are building new ‘streams’ that harness the power of AI without sacrificing creativity, strategy, brand integrity, or the human touch.

This is a practical, execution-led session for senior marketers who want to understand how AI really works in the hands of experts, and how to apply those principles inside their own organisations.
