CXO Summit

AI is rapidly reshaping how marketing teams create, test, and scale content—but the future of creative work isn’t about replacing humans. It’s about redefining how humans and machines collaborate. As automation accelerates speed and personalization, CMOs face a new challenge: evolving their marketing operating model without losing originality, brand voice, or creative excellence.

This session explores how leading organizations are rethinking roles, workflows, and governance to blend human insight with AI-powered execution. We’ll examine what changes when creativity becomes augmented by data and algorithms, how teams can work faster without burning out, and what it takes to build a marketing model that is both scalable and deeply human. Attendees will leave with a clearer vision for structuring teams, processes, and partnerships to thrive in the next era of creative work.

How do we come together, as a group of professionals, to create and foster an inclusive business world where all women have a role to play? We know that a major part of this is attracting and retaining talent at every level but how exactly do we do that and where can we use technology to help? Our panelists will discuss how their companies are creating more inclusive environments, the use AI tools to help uncover hidden biases, what flexibility looks like for all team members and how they are advancing women earlier and signing them up for long term success.

As scrutiny on budgets intensifies, CMOs are under increasing pressure to move beyond brand storytelling and clearly demonstrate marketing’s contribution to revenue and business growth. The challenge isn’t a lack of impact—it’s translating influence, engagement, and trust into metrics the C-suite and board value.

This session explores how leading marketing organizations are connecting brand investments to measurable outcomes across the full customer lifecycle. We’ll discuss modern attribution models, the role of data and analytics, and how CMOs are aligning more closely with finance and sales to tell a credible growth story. Attendees will leave with practical approaches to quantify marketing performance, elevate marketing’s strategic credibility, and confidently link brand decisions to balance sheet results.

For too long, exhaustion has been mistaken for commitment and overextension for ambition—especially for women leaders navigating high expectations, invisible labor, and constant pressure to “do it all.” This session challenges the myth that burnout is the price of success and reframes sustainability as a core leadership strength, not a personal weakness.

Through candid conversation and real-world insights, we’ll explore the systemic drivers of burnout for women, how they show up at different stages of leadership, and what organizations can do to redesign roles, cultures, and success metrics for long-term impact. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to build resilient leadership models that protect energy, foster well-being, and enable women to lead powerfully—without sacrificing themselves in the process.

Even the most accomplished leaders carry moments of self-doubt, questioning their voice, their readiness, or whether they truly belong. This session normalizes imposter syndrome as a shared leadership experience rather than a personal flaw, especially for women navigating spaces where they may still feel like the “only” or the “first.”

Through honest stories and practical insight, we’ll explore how imposter syndrome evolves over the course of a career, why it tends to resurface at moments of growth, and what helps quiet it over time. Attendees will gain tools to recognize self-doubt without letting it dictate decisions, reclaim confidence during high-stakes moments, and lead with clarity, courage, and authenticity—even when the inner voice hasn’t fully disappeared.

High-performing organizations aren’t built on fear, silence, or perfection—they’re built on trust. Psychological safety, the belief that it’s safe to speak up, take risks, and be oneself at work, is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s a critical business strategy that directly impacts innovation, engagement, and results.

This session explores how belonging fuels performance by unlocking diverse perspectives, accelerating learning, and strengthening team resilience. Through real-world examples and practical frameworks, leaders will examine what psychological safety truly looks like in day-to-day interactions—and where it quietly breaks down. Attendees will leave with actionable ways to model inclusive leadership, create environments where people feel valued and heard, and turn belonging into a measurable driver of business success.
