Gen AI Summit at Google: Building Competitive Advantage

Hear from senior brand leaders at Currys, Informa, L’Oreal, Mars, Monzo, NatWest, Rightmove, The Hut Group, and Vodafone. 

Hosted at Google’s London St Pancras office, ISBA’s third Gen AI Summit brings senior advertisers together to examine how Gen AI can help build more competitive marketing organisations.

The day follows the transformation challenge: from changing consumer behaviour and AI-led discovery, through measurement and governance, to the operating models, partnerships and skills required to turn AI ambition into sustained business value.
