AI Trailblazers Winter Summit
Be part of the second annual AI Trailblazers Winter Summit 2025—where senior leaders from marketing, media, and innovation come together to explore how AI is transforming the future of marketing. This year’s theme, “Feed the Story, Fuel the Signal,” sets the stage for a bold conversation on what’s next.
In an AI-driven marketing world, feeding the story means shaping powerful narratives with data, human creativity, and machine intelligence. Fueling the signal means ensuring those stories break through, optimized, distributed, and amplified by adaptive AI systems. Together, this reflects how leaders harness AI for efficiency, growth, resonance, and cultural impact.
The summit opens with an intimate cocktail reception the evening prior. The main program gathers 200 of the most senior operating leaders across marketing, media, technology, and the boardroom. Conversations at the AI Trailblazers Summits are moderated by members of the press, including reporters from The Wall Street Journal, Adweek, CNBC, and Axios.
