Bethan Vincent – “The future of marketing insight and audience understanding in the age of AI”
In this thought-provoking session, Bethan Vincent (Managing Partner at Open Velocity) explores the future of marketing insight and audience understanding in the age of AI. Traditional audience research and insight methods can be slow, expensive, and hard to scale. But what if you could test creative ideas, messaging, and tone with your audience before you hit publish, every time? Thanks to advances in AI and generative agents, that future is closer than ever.
James Ridgway – “Copy & Pasting 2.0 – Why AI Isn’t Taking My Job”
A big question lately has been: Is AI coming for your job? Short answer? No. But not for the reasons you might think. Rather than fall into the trap of hyperbole, I approached the topic by stepping back and asking a different question: How have the skills and resources around building software changed over time? Because AI is just the latest in a long line of innovations that promised to “replace” developers. And yet none of them have.
Whether you’re an AI and Tech enthusiast, a curious creative, or just here for the tech-powered fun, this is your chance to see what’s possible when hardware, software, and imagination collide.
