AI is moving fast - and we know that today’s marketing leaders are feeling it. Creativity, efficiency, team dynamics, and customer expectations are all being reshaped by emerging technologies. The challenge? Navigating constant change while still leading with clarity, relevance, and impact.

That’s why we’re bringing NASA’s James Villarrubia to the stage. As Head of Digital Innovation & AI, James has spent his impressive career unlocking progress at the intersection of bold thinking and technical expertise. In this candid conversation, he’ll share how innovation actually takes root inside large, complex organizations, and what marketers can learn from NASA’s approach to experimentation, adaptability, and vision.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A fresh lens on how curiosity fuels lasting innovation.
  • Practical mindset shifts to lead through disruption.
  • A peek into the technologies that will shape the future of work, creativity, and growth.
  • And much more. 

This valuable, exciting conversation isn’t about AI buzzwords and hype. It’s about expanding how you think, lead, and build what’s next.
