The future isn't waiting for brands. And neither are we.
The biggest changes in our industry deserve the brightest minds in the room.
For the first time, AIVANTA and IAB are bringing together the leaders shaping the future of brands for a one-of-a-kind, brand-led gathering exploring the most significant shifts in marketing, media, technology, and culture.
May 4, 2027 | Placeholder Auditorium | New York City
One room. The right people. Conversations that will define what's next.
Brand leadership is being redefined.
Yesterday's marketing playbook won't build tomorrow's brands. We're bringing the right minds together for original perspectives, new connections and conversations that lead somewhere.
Not just another event. A platform for the people building what comes next.
The conversations that matter
The future of brands will be shaped by the collision of creativity, commerce, technology, media, culture and human behavior.
Programming themes are editorial directions, not confirmed sessions or speakers.
Two organizations. One shared ambition.
IAB brings the industry together. AIVANTA creates the environments where the future takes shape.
AIVANTA's experiential approach and IAB's institutional leadership and reach create a powerful combination of community, content, connection and influence.
Big ideas. Bigger conversations. The right people in the room.
The industry doesn't need another gathering where everyone agrees with each other. It needs fresh thinking, unexpected perspectives and conversations that actually move things forward.
A curated, invitation-led gathering exploring the forces redefining business, marketing, creativity and culture.
Focused sessions where leaders tackle emerging challenges and move from big ideas to practical thinking.
An evolving network of executives united by curiosity, ambition and a commitment to what comes next.
More consequence.
The minds behind what's next.
Senior executives across brands, media, marketing, technology, AI, commerce and the creator economy — guiding the agenda, suggesting leading voices and opening doors. Not to predict the future from the sidelines. To help shape it.
“The world doesn't need another prediction about the future of brands. It needs a better conversation about how we build it.”
A seat at the conversation starts here.
Join the senior leaders, creators, strategists, technologists and innovators asking what comes next — and what we can do about it.
The future is a team sport.
Whether you're leading transformation inside a global brand, developing new technology or challenging the conventions of modern marketing, there's a conversation here worth joining.
The future of brands isn't something we wait for. It's something we create together.
