Onfire CEO Tal Peretz on AI that actually drives revenue
In the push to integrate AI into go-to-market strategies, are we optimizing for activity or for intelligence?Agility requires not just adopting new technologies like AI, but critically evaluating how they deliver contextual intelligence. It’s about adapting your strategy based on smarter signals, not just automating existing processes at a higher volume.Today, we're going to talk about moving beyond the hype of generic AI in sales and marketing to focus on what actually drives revenue. We'll explore the concept of vertical AI, specifically for go-to-market teams selling to technical audiences, and how decoding intent signals from public developer conversations can create a significant competitive advantage.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Tal Peretz, CEO and Co-Founder at Onfire. About Tal PeretzTal Peretz is the CEO and Co-Founder of Onfire, a contextual AI platform that helps technology companies decode real-time market signals and drive revenue growth using developer and IT buyer intent data.

Lou Carbone on a new understanding of brand
If a brand is no longer what a company says it is, but the sum of every experience a customer has, what does that mean for the marketing department's role in the organization?Agility requires more than just adapting to market changes; it demands a fundamental shift from broadcasting a message to engineering an experience. It requires a willingness to unlearn old definitions of brand and embrace a new reality where customer perception is the ultimate truth.Today, we're going to talk about what some are calling a "reformation" in branding. It’s a move away from the traditional model of logos, slogans, and campaigns, and toward a new understanding where the brand is the cumulative effect of every single customer interaction. This shift has massive implications for organizational structure, strategy, and how we measure success.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Lou Carbone, Professor of Practice, Michigan State University & Founder/Chief Experience Officer at Experience Engineering. About Lou CarboneLou Carbone, often called the "Godfather of Experience Management," has been a pioneer in experience engineering since the 1980s.

A frequent keynote speaker and guest lecturer at leading business schools, he’s also Professor of Practice at Michigan State University, shaping future leaders in customer experience. His innovations, like the Paperless Rental Agreement at National Car Rental, have become industry standards.

Acoustic CMO Alexi Hatch on rebuilding your customer relationship strategy
What if the marketing playbook you've relied on for the past decade is quickly failing to get results? When customers rapidly shift their behaviors, agility requires being willing to rethink how you build and earn customer relationships from the ground up.Today, we're going to talk about the shift away from rented audiences and unreliable signals toward building durable, first-party data assets.

Criteo Chief Product Officer Todd Parsons on breaking down those channel silos
Are the platforms you rely on most for growth also the biggest barriers to understanding it?Agility requires a clear view of the entire customer journey, not just the isolated moments within a single platform. This means brands must adapt their strategies to operate effectively across the open internet, not just within its walled gardens.Today, we're going to talk about a fundamental disconnect in modern marketing: while AI is enabling a consumer journey that is more fluid and dynamic than ever, many marketers are still planning, executing, and measuring their efforts in platform-specific silos. This can create a distorted view of performance and limit a brand's ability to drive real growth.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Todd Parsons, Chief Product Officer & President of Performance Media at Criteo.
