Grow Smarter with Digital Marketing Transformation

AI is Changing How Marketing Gets Done. Are You Ready? 

 

AI isn’t a future trend anymore. It’s already in your tools, your workflows and your competitors’ playbooks. The marketers pulling ahead aren’t the ones experimenting the most. They’re the ones turning AI into a real advantage for their teams and their brands.

Marketers who know how to apply AI with intention will:

• Build AI into the workflows their teams use every day
• Put AI agents to work on time-intensive tasks
• Turn data into insights and decisions faster
• Create more personalized experiences at scale
• Drive measurable business results

Will you be that marketer?

Then the Marketing AI Conference (MAICON) is for you. Join us Oct. 4–7, 2027, in Cleveland, Ohio.

Why Should You Attend MAICON?

AI has moved from experiment to expectation, and the marketers who learn to use it well will lead what comes next. 

 

Seventy-four percent of professionals say AI is critically or very important to their organization’s success over the next 12 months, according to our 2026 State of AI for Business Report.

But a lack of education and training is still holding businesses back. It’s the most-cited barrier to AI adoption, as it has been every year we’ve run the survey, and 53% of respondents still don’t have access to formal AI training from their employer.

MAICON takes you beyond the splashy headlines and industry jargon to explore the business and practice of AI through keynotes and breakout sessions. You’ll learn what’s possible now through the eyes of the marketers, analysts and AI experts who are leading the way.

• Learn how to integrate AI into your existing workflows, put AI agents to work, and build no-code assistants for your team.
• Explore how AI is transforming marketing, from how teams work to what customers expect from brands.
• Gain access to the resources, contacts and tools you need to advance your company and career.
• Join a community of forward-thinking marketers who are pushing the limits of what’s possible with AI.

Attendees will hear from speakers who are driving real business value with AI across industries and marketing functions.
