Marketing Engineering Summit 2026

Marketing Is Becoming an Engineering Discipline — Are You Ready?

October 8, 2026
13:30–18:00 + Apéro

Marketing Is No Longer About Campaigns

Marketing is becoming a system.

  • Data pipelines instead of reports.
  • AI-driven decisions instead of intuition.
  • Automated execution instead of manual processes.

At the same time, pressure is increasing :

  • Budgets are scrutinized like never before
  • CFOs demand measurable impact
  • AI promises efficiency — but few know how to realize it

Most organizations are stuck between experiments and real transformation.

An Executive Forum — Not a Marketing Conference

This is a closed, high-level forum for senior marketing leaders who want to:

  • Turn marketing into a measurable growth engine
  • Use AI to reduce cost and increase impact
  • Build scalable systems — not campaigns

No vendor pitches.
No generic inspiration.

👉 Only real-world experience, practical insights, and peer exchange.

From Campaigns → Systems → Revenue

We explore how leading organizations are:

Driving measurable ROI at scale
