About the Summit
Marketing leadership is being redefined.
AI is reshaping capability. Commercial expectations are rising. Organisations are evolving faster than most playbooks can keep pace with.
The inaugural CPM Summit is a focused, peer-driven leadership forum where Australia's most experienced marketers step away from the day-to-day and into the conversations that matter most.
The question running through the whole day: How do marketing leaders remain commercially relevant, trusted and effective in a world being reshaped by AI, technology and rising expectations?
What will you experience?
- Forward-looking perspectives on marketing leadership
- Peer-to-peer discussion with experienced marketing leaders
- Real-world insights grounded in organisational challenges
- Fireside conversations, not lectures
- Cross-industry connection and senior networking
- Professional development designed for senior leaders
