We’re especially excited to bring the community together in New York City for what is already shaping up to be an energizing and highly practical gathering focused on the future of media, marketing, and communications as we respond to and learn from AI.

For Media and Communications Directors, we’ll host five panels featuring leading journalists and media voices. For those focused more heavily on marketing strategy, we’ll offer dedicated breakout sessions featuring specialized discussions and marketing-focused panels running alongside select media sessions. All sessions will be recorded so attendees can access the full experience.
