THE FUTURE OF MARTECH LEADERSHIP

The future of marketing will depend on a brand’s ability to drive growth through their investments in technology, data and generative artificial intelligence.  However, MarTech is currently facing a significant talent shortage, including a vast gap in entry-level positions, making it challenging for companies to identify and develop a robust diverse talent pipeline which is critical for sustainable growth. In this session, you will hear about the groundbreaking MarTech talent industry initiative launched between the ANA Educational Foundation and the ANA MarTech Leadership Council.  You will discover the key challenges and opportunities around inspiring future MarTech leaders and how you can join our movement.
