Join The Marketing Meetup, BeReal, and Caliber for an evening of media, marketers, and creatives to discuss “How We Connect Now: AI, Socials, and Brand."

Cannes showed the AI conversation moving past automation into something more human. How we take in information and relate to each other is shifting, and not always in the ways the platforms promised. Marketing has leaned so hard into creators that trust now lives with people.
