In-Person Roundtable Dinner
Beyond Automation: Attention, Trust and Human Connection in 2027
We have pressure-tested over 1,500 programs with global B2B tech companies and keep seeing the same tension: as AI scales content and reach, genuine attention, trust and human connection become harder to create and more valuable to earn.
This roundtable brings senior marketing decision-makers together to discuss where events fit in that equation, which investments deserve a place in 2027 budgets, and how data, AI and the right delivery model turn live engagement into measurable growth without adding cost and complexity at the same rate.

How AI is changing marketing reach and output, and why genuine attention and trust are becoming harder and more valuable to create.

Which event investments earn their place in 2027
Where events create attention, trust and commercial momentum, and which formats and investments should hold budget in 2027 growth plans.
- 03

How to assess impact across pipeline, customer relationships, brand and account progression, and what budget owners should reconsider before plans are locked.
- 04
