Join a selective group of CMOs, senior marketing leaders, & growth executives for an invite-only evening of discussion & networking on how teams measure what marketing is actually doing as AI reshapes the buyer journey.

Buyers no longer move through the funnel the way the dashboards assume. They ask an AI assistant before they reach your site, research in places you cannot track, & arrive late in the cycle already decided. Last-click attribution & the standard funnel models were built for a world that is disappearing, & the numbers most teams report to the board are starting to measure the wrong things.

This is a high-signal room for leaders rethinking acquisition, retention, attribution, & ROI under those conditions. Compare how peers rebuild attribution when the clickstream goes dark, what they now count as a leading indicator, how they defend the marketing number to a CFO with questions, & where AI helps the measurement problem rather than adding to it.

No pitches. No sales presentations. Just strong peers, real numbers, & useful conversations.
