Harnessing the Power of MarTech in the Age of AI - Presented by EKN

In MarTech, the AI revolution is intersecting with three additional shifts, each a powerful force unto itself. The unification of data across the business in cloud data warehouses for activation and personalized content, not just analytics. The embrace of open platforms and cloud-based APIs to enable "composing" content, workflows, and customer experiences across traditional software boundaries. And the acceptance of no-code principles and interfaces to empower a whole new creator-class across the organization. Each of these on their own is game-changing. But colliding together at an astounding speed, they are remaking the marketing universe as we've known it.
