In this workshop, we’re not going to just talk about high-level concepts. We’re diving deep into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to get marketing operations and automation working hand-in-hand with sales to drive results now. We’ll focus on how your marketing automation tech stack—whether it’s Salesforce, Account Engagement, or Marketing Cloud—can be the catalyst for better alignment and faster growth. We’ll also explore one of the most crucial but often overlooked areas: the conversion zone. This is the middle of the funnel, where hand-raisers become real opportunities. It’s the space where leads often fall through the cracks, and where marketing automation can help keep things moving seamlessly toward conversion.
Theme: AI & Innovation

AI is reshaping sales and marketing, but most teams don’t know where to start.

This isn’t about theory—this is about getting AI working for you, today.

From segmentation and personalization to multi-threaded messaging and dynamic experiences, you’ll learn how to create strategies that align with how modern B2B decisions are made. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, you’ll walk away with a customized roadmap to elevate your campaign approach—ensuring your marketing meets buyers where they are and moves deals forward.
