Join Us for an Exclusive Executive Dinner & Discussion

Reimagining Marketing for the AI Era Marketing leaders in London are invited to join The Ortus Club and Databricks for an exclusive evening of great food, peer exchange, and meaningful conversation. This invitation-only roundtable dinner brings senior marketing executives together for an off-the-record discussion on how AI is reshaping the future of marketing — guided by an expert moderator in a relaxed, confidential setting. Attendance is complimentary and by invitation only. The Topic Reimagining Marketing for the AI Era As marketing enters the AI era, leaders are under growing pressure to deliver measurable impact with limited budgets, fragmented data, and an increasingly complex technology landscape. Traditional channels are losing effectiveness, while expectations around personalisation, speed, and ROI continue to rise. This roundtable will explore how organisations can build a unified data and AI foundation that enables marketing teams to move beyond disconnected experimentation towards scalable, real-time decision-making. Discussions will focus on how AI is reshaping marketing operations, the importance of governance and trust, and the organisational changes required to support long-term transformation. Attendees will also examine how collaboration between marketing, data, and technology teams can unlock greater adaptability, efficiency, and customer insight — while creating stronger pathways for the next generation of women leaders shaping the future of AI-driven marketing. What are the biggest barriers preventing marketing organisations from fully adopting AI-driven strategies, and how can leaders overcome fragmented data, limited data literacy, and increasing martech complexity? How can marketing leaders build a unified data and AI foundation that enables trusted personalisation, faster decision-making, and measurable business outcomes across the organisation? As marketing becomes increasingly agentic and AI-led, what will the role of marketing teams, leadership, and customer engagement look like over the next five years?
