2025 Marketing Summit
AI TRACK
AI is changing the field of marketing at an unprecedented rate. Come hear what Utah’s top marketing experts are doing to stay at the forefront of the AI revolution.
Breakout Session 1
Learning at the Speed of Change
Cahlan Sharp, School AI
Your competitive edge isn’t a tool—It’s you. We’ll discuss how AI is ushering in an era where the only thing holding us back is our ability to learn, adapt, and stay curious in a world that won’t slow down.
Breakout Session 2
AI Future-Proofing Frameworks
Chad Jardine, CMO Zen
There’s big-time FOMO for marketing AI. But what’s generating real value versus just snazzy novelty?
With the AI landscape in constant flux, does it make sense to invest now, or wait until the dust settles? Am I skilling up in a way that will be obsolete with the next release? How can I manage adoption of new tech if next month it’s going to be “old tech?”
This session is all about frameworks that help make sense of the rapidly changing AI space, and help you plan for smart use of AI in an unpredictable future.
Breakout Session 3
Less Budget, More Pipeline: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Our Marketing Playbooks
Trinity Nguyen, UserGems & Austin Sandmeyer, Sendoso
Budget cuts. Headcount freezes. Pressure to hit higher goals. Sound familiar? AI isn’t magic—but used correctly, it can change your marketing math. Hear how UserGems and Sendoso use AI to stretch their budgets, run always-on targeted campaigns, and hit their pipeline targets faster with a lean team. Expect real talk, real workflows, and lessons learned.
Breakout Session 4
Scale Your LinkedIn Presence with AI
Nate Herklemen, TrueHorizon AI
Learn how to build an AI-powered content creation system without writing a single line of code. In this session, we’ll walk through how to use OpenAI’s newest image generation API inside n8n to automatically research topics, write optimized LinkedIn posts, generate custom graphics, and prepare everything for manual review and posting. Whether you’re a marketer or entrepreneur, this workflow will help you scale your content creation without sacrificing quality or control.
