Marketing teams are reaching the limits of dashboards, fragmented reporting, and backward-looking analysis. The future belongs to organizations that can turn data into live intelligence: systems that do not just describe what happened, but continuously surface what matters, recommend what to do next, and help teams act in real time. In this session, leaders from Transparent Partners and Kana will show what that future looks like in practice.

10:15 AM - 10:45 AM | Putting the Intelligence Back in AI
Most brands have deployed AI. Few have built the foundation that makes it work. As investment in AI accelerates, the gap between organizations that see real returns and those that don't comes down to what's underneath the technology: the structural building blocks of data, workflow, governance, and human judgment that determine whether AI delivers content that actually performs. This session maps the critical layers that separate AI investment from AI impact, and shows what it looks like when intelligence is genuinely built in from the start.
Andrew Swinand, Chief Executive Officer, Inspired Thinking Group
2:20 PM - 2:50 PM | Banking on Synthetic Personas
How one bank is pioneering the use of AI-generated synthetic personas to test ideas, simulate customer behavior, and accelerate more intelligent marketing and personalization efforts.

Go beyond the hype and explore how enterprises are actually building and deploying AI agents. Learn the architectural, operational, and strategic shifts every marketer, agency, and tech company should be preparing for.
Amit Shah, Co-Founder, AI Trailblazers
Wednesday, April 29
11:25 AM - 11:55 AM | Marketing's Next Advantage: Building AI With Memory
Most marketing organizations have plenty of data but very little usable memory. The missing layer is context: the decisions, tradeoffs, judgments, and lessons that explain what happened and why. Without it, AI can accelerate output but not improve decision quality. This session explores why the memory layer is becoming critical marketing infrastructure, what it means for brand consistency, speed, and organizational learning, and which solution providers are best positioned to help build it.
Shiv Singh, Co-Founder, AI Trailblazers
12:00 PM - 12:30 PM | Rewiring Marketing for AI: Inside Qualcomm’s Operating Model Shift
Most companies are layering AI onto old workflows. Qualcomm is taking a bigger step, reshaping marketing around it. In this session, Don McGuire will share how his team is using WRITER to rethink content, workflows, talent, and operating models, and what it really takes to move from AI experimentation to meaningful organizational change.
