Round #1: AI in Paid Digital Media

With AI transforming targeting, optimization and creative workflows, marketers must understand what AI can (and cannot) do for their campaigns. This roundtable discusses practical applications—not hype—so teams can stay ahead without losing strategic control. Discussion Questions • How is AI already changing your advertising workflow (targeting, optimization, creative, attribution)?
• What parts of campaign management still require human oversight despite AI advances?
• Where do you see the biggest risk or biggest opportunity with AI in media buying?

Come ready to share honest wins and challenges, hear what’s working across industries and career stages, and leave with practical takeaways you can apply immediately.
