This event is over.

In today’s dynamic environment, marketers must innovate – or get left behind. The continuing evolution of digital and technology has blurred the lines of customer experience and marked a shift in power from the marketer to the consumer. Today’s consumer demands, and deserves, omnichannel solutions, seamless experiences, and engagement on their own terms. Whether through AI, virtual and augmented reality, voice search, or a slew of emerging tools and trends, technology can provide marketers with a means to deliver. And marketers on the leading edge of technology and innovation are uniquely positioned to win with this savvy crowd.

Hosted by Monumental Sports & Entertainment, join us for a fun and informative day that will showcase leading client-side marketers who have leveraged technology and innovation to drive better business decisions, differentiate their brands, connect authentically with consumers, and deliver results. You’ll also enjoy ample time to network, connect, share, and learn from your marketing peers at this complimentary event.
