AI is redefining the marketing profession, and expectations are rising just as fast to evolve for the moment and establish a new foundation to build on. Yet most organizations are still struggling to close the gap between what’s needed and what their teams can actually deliver. Everyone agrees the workforce needs new skills, far fewer have figured out how to make it happen.
In this conversation, leaders from Adobe, LinkedIn, and e.l.f. Beauty unpack what workforce transformation actually looks like in practice. From Adobe’s efforts to upskill marketing professionals for the AI era, to LinkedIn’s real-time view into how skills are changing across the global workforce, to e.l.f.’s approach to building agile, culturally relevant teams in a rapidly shifting landscape, this session explores what it takes to stay competitive in the age of AI.
Together, they’ll discuss where companies are making real progress, where many are still stuck, and how to help close the gap between where teams are and where they need to be.

This session explores how creator-led leaders are using AI as invisible infrastructure to unlock scale while staying grounded in originality, culture, and purpose.

The old creative model is breaking. More content, more campaigns, more noise — volume isn't a strategy, and speed without taste is just amplification of mediocrity. The organizations winning right now aren't just moving faster. They're rebuilding from the ground up. In this conversation, creative and marketing leaders get into the real dynamics reshaping creative teams today — new roles, new processes, and an entirely different relationship between technology and craft. We'll explore what it actually looks like to use AI to raise the standard rather than feed the machine, how brands are rethinking their creative partnerships, and what creators on the ground know about connecting with audiences that most boardrooms still haven't figured out. This isn't a panel about the future of creativity. It's a conversation happening inside it.

For the first time, brands aren’t just competing for human attention. They’re competing to be chosen by machines. AI agents, copilots, and recommendation systems are rapidly becoming the new gatekeepers of discovery, shaping what buyers see, trust, and ultimately choose. In this environment, marketing is no longer just about persuasion. It’s about being surfaced, understood, and prioritized by systems you don’t control. In this session, brand, platform, and creator perspectives will unpack how marketing is evolving in real time. From building content that resonates with both humans and machines, to redefining what visibility and trust actually mean, the conversation explores how leading brands are adapting — and what it takes to stay relevant as the rules continue to shift

The next era of marketing belongs to brands that can reach both people and the AI agents making decisions for them. AI agents are already researching, comparing, and choosing on behalf of your customers even before a human ever visits your site. This changes how trust gets built, how journeys get designed, and how results get measured. This conversation explores what it takes to show up for both humans and AI agents. From content and data strategy to experience design and go-to-market, this is marketing for a world where machines get there before people do.
