Why Marketers Must Prepare for the Rise of Artificial Intelligence

When you arrive at the office at 8 a.m., there’s a lot that stands between you and the work you need get done that day. Check email. Get coffee. Check email. Pull up yesterday’s web analytics reports, Check in on lead count.

Some days, it’s easy to feel like you don’t actually spend that much time marketing.

Very soon, all of these questions and tasks will be answered by robots.

Well, not robots, exactly ... but artificial intelligence.

What Is Artificial Intelligence?
We should probably get one thing out of the way: Artificial intelligence doesn’t mean robots. And at least at the moment, it’s not flying cars or revenge-seeking cyborgs either.

But for now, artificial intelligence is more about machine learning, for example you put in your data and you get our some sort of revelation or answer.

If it sounds complicated, you’re not alone. At this Brisbane HUG meetup with our panel experts, we will explore the impact of Artificial Intelligence to unlock how this will affect marketing and sale growth now and into the future.

Come and enjoy mouthwatering gourmet pizza and drinks while networking with marketing professionals and entrepreneurs at the Pineapple Hotel, Kangaroo Point, near the Brisbane CBD. At this HUG, we’ve arranged local experts to share their thoughts on the latest trends for Artificial Intelligence for better marketing and sale growth.

Our guest panel speakers are:
