The funnel is dead, MQLs are out, and your networking events aren’t as human-centered as you think. In this After Show, Megan and Ashley go off the record and into the real stuff: AI myths, event design fails, personalization at scale, and why you should probably stop serving bagels at every conference.
What You’ll Learn in This After Show:
- Why AI isn’t replacing marketers—but marketers who ignore AI might get left behind
- How to scale personalization using content depth and intent frameworks
- The difference between busy work and uniquely human marketing tasks
- Why most networking events fail introverts (and what to do instead)
- The marketing buzzword Ashley wants permanently canceled
