Where AI actually belongs in your stack.
How it connects to your CRM, analytics, CMS, and ad data, and why what the AI can see matters more than which model you pick.
Beyond prompts: build the AI foundation your marketing team runs on. Score your team live, watch a real workflow get built, and leave with a clear first step.

Most marketing teams are using AI, but mostly one person and one prompt at a time, with no shared system behind it. In 60 minutes, we'll fix that picture.
How it connects to your CRM, analytics, CMS, and ad data, and why what the AI can see matters more than which model you pick.
We'll turn a hand-built weekly performance report into a repeatable workflow: trigger, context, reasoning, action, QA, output.
Green, Yellow, Red: which steps AI can run on its own, which need a human to approve, and which stay human-controlled.
How to find and rank the right first workflow using hours saved, revenue opportunity, data readiness, risk, and ease.
Right at the start, you'll answer five quick questions on your phone. It takes about three minutes. You'll get an instant AI maturity score, and we'll show the room's anonymized results so you can see where you stand next to other marketing teams. Nobody sees your individual answers.
The five questions map to the five layers we'll cover: infrastructure, knowledge, workflows, automation, and measurement and governance.
Save my seat →This session is for marketing leaders who own results and want AI to show up in them: CMOs, VPs and Directors of Marketing, heads of growth and demand gen, and marketing ops leaders.
Your team uses AI every day, but none of it adds up to a system you can rely on.
You're being asked for an AI plan and want one that's practical, safe, and grounded in your actual data.
You'd rather see a real workflow than another list of prompts.

Yes. Everyone who registers gets the recording and the checklist by email within an hour of the session.
Not very. It's built for marketing leaders, not engineers. We show real tools, but we explain everything in plain language and keep the on-screen examples tool-agnostic.
Just bring your phone for the five-question assessment at the start.
Yes. We only show anonymized, grouped results to the room. No names or companies are shown.
