Salesforce, MIT, and Northwestern University leaders to headline MAICON 2021

Marketing Artificial Intelligence Institute announced today the second Marketing Artificial Intelligence Conference (MAICON) event will take place Sept. 13-14, 2021. This year’s event, which includes more than 20 speakers, will be an all-digital experience.

MAICON 2021 will include over a dozen main stage and breakout sessions by industry leaders, all with the singular goal of helping marketers understand, pilot and successfully scale AI.

Sessions are targeted toward next-gen marketers—those ready to transform their digital marketing and build their competitive advantage using AI. 

Cade Metz, author of Genius Makers and award-winning New York Times journalist and technology correspondent, is this year’s closing keynote speaker. His keynote and fireside chat is titled “Genius Makers: The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook and the World.”

Genius Makers is phenomenal,” said Paul Roetzer, Marketing AI Institute founder and CEO.

“There were so many incredible inside stories about the deep learning movement that I’d never heard, and I’m thrilled that Cade will share his knowledge with our MAICON community. As soon as I read his book, I knew we had to have him speak to our audience.”
