From Day One: Chicago Marketing 2026

Navigating the AI Era: Find and Keep Your Customers in the New Battle for Attention
The days of the customer coming to you are going away. At a time of diffused attention, AI and other new technology give marketers powerful tools for getting to where the customers are–and to better appreciate what appeals to them. New approaches can show marketers where, when, and why prospective customers are making their decisions. Since human agency will always be a factor, how can marketers using algorithms also take into account the unique personal factors that go into these choices? At our conference of leaders in marketing, sales, advertising, and customer experience, we’ll explore how to blend technology with empathy to stay in tune with shifting customer sentiment on factors like value, performance, trust, prestige, and authenticity. How can marketers more accurately identify exactly what's working–and what's not? We'll probe emerging methods across the diversity of customer relationships–whether it's B2C, B2B, B2B2C, or all of the above–to find out how companies can build stronger bonds with their shoppers, partners, and communities.
