Live panel event:
The B2B marketing reset: Reflect, refocus and win in 2026
Thursday 4th December | 14:00 GMT | 45 mins
2025 reshaped B2B marketing. AI went from assistant to agent, CFOs became key marketing partners, and owned audiences replaced lead lists. Growth strategies got sharper, buyer journeys got messier, and brand trust became non-negotiable.
Join us for a fast, focused look at the shifts that mattered and what smart teams are carrying into 2026. Expect practical insights, real examples, and a strategic reset for the year ahead.
Here’s what our expert panel will dive into during the session:
- Unpack the biggest shifts of 2025 – from the rise of agentic AI to the new era of CFO-driven marketing.
- See what top B2B teams got right to drive clarity, impact, and sustainable growth.
- Walk away ready for 2026 with a focused checklist to sharpen your strategy, workflows, and team priorities.
