Marketing Measurement and Attribution in the AI Era
Join a selective group of CMOs, senior marketing leaders, and growth executives for an invite-only evening of discussion and networking on how teams measure what marketing is actually doing as AI reshapes the buyer journey.
Buyers no longer move through the funnel the way the dashboards assume. They ask an AI assistant before they reach your site, research in places you cannot track, and arrive late in the cycle already decided. Last-click attribution and the standard funnel models were built for a world that is disappearing, and the numbers most teams report to the board are starting to measure the wrong things.
This is a high-signal room for leaders rethinking acquisition, retention, attribution, and ROI under those conditions. Compare how peers rebuild attribution when the clickstream goes dark, what they now count as a leading indicator, how they defend the marketing number to a CFO with questions, and where AI helps the measurement problem rather than adding to it.
No pitches. No sales presentations. Just strong peers, real numbers, and useful conversations.
