​BrandersFest 2026: Survival

• ​Theme: The AI Era of Brand Evolution

• ​Format: 2-Day In-Person Working Summit

• ​Date: November 4–5, 2026

• ​Location: NYC (venue TBC)

• ​Seats: 75 curated

​Welcome to BrandersFest 2026: SURVIVAL — a curated two-day working summit for brand leaders, creative directors, and founders who refuse to be in the middle.

​AI didn't kill branding. It exposed which brands were never built on anything meaningful in the first place. The brands with a real point of view are pulling ahead. The ones built on surface positioning and trend cycles are collapsing — fast.

​SURVIVAL is the room for the brands built on something real — and the people figuring out what comes next. No scripts. No stage theater. 75 curated seats.
