Inside the event
Join CMOs, growth leaders, and senior marketing executives for an evening of discussion and networking on what changes when AI starts taking on more of the growth engine, and what still belongs with the people leading it. AI is moving beyond helping marketers create content. Agents can now run tests, qualify leads, personalize outreach, analyze performance, and coordinate work across marketing and sales. That creates a different set of questions for CMOs: What work is ready to hand over to AI, and what still needs human judgment? Who owns brand, positioning, and customer decisions when more execution becomes automated? How should teams and roles change as agents take on more of the work? And how do you know AI is actually driving growth rather than simply creating more activity? This is a room for marketing leaders working through those questions now. Compare what peers are handing over to AI, where they are keeping people in control, how they are changing their teams, and how they are measuring whether any of it is improving the business. Who You'll Hear From Linda Vu Nguyen, VP of Marketing, BlueRock Linda Vu Nguyen is VP of Marketing at BlueRock, an agentic AI security company, and founder of Skylark 118, a studio helping executives adopt AI with structure instead of hype.
