CMO 2.0 mid-year Food for Thought at Kensington Palace

GenAI; HotTopics' Benchmark Report sneak peek; and more!

B2B marketing leadership is evolving—are you keeping up? Today’s CMOs do more than just lead marketing teams. They’re strategic decision-makers, boardroom influencers, and talent developers. It also requires constant iteration.

Join HotTopics and peers for the latest event within our CMO 2.0 series for 2025: a mid-year Food for Thought debate at Kensington Palace.

Following insightful B2B marketing leaders events at the Royal Albert Hall and Abbey Road Studios, where executives shared insights, questions and predictions on building C-suite communities, enabling demand generation, sourcing marketing talent, supporting growth in the business, and generative AI experimentation and ROI, this Food for Thought is HotTopics' mid-year check-in with our B2B marketing community.

Within this check-in, discover the insights found during our recent roundtable debates on AI featuring your peers—how they are testing, implementing, and growing with AI in their departments—and an exclusive peek of some early data from our 2025 B2B Marketing Leaders Benchmark Report, to drive healthy, fascinating debate, within a beautiful venue.

Why attend?

Gain fresh insights and practical strategies from your peers on:

• Navigating innovation and change in marketing– Benchmark against peers on generative AI, attribution models, demand generation success, and more.
