Marketing in an AI World

Marketing in an AI World: A Human Conversation About Artificial Intelligence

Date: May 14, 2025
Time: 2:30 - 4:00 PM (Networking & snacks at 2:00 PM)
Location: Grand Rapids Chamber

It seems like AI comes up in every conversation, so let’s have one.

AI is shaking up the marketing world—but how are marketers actually using it? What’s working, what’s not, and what’s next?

This isn’t another surface-level discussion. We’re bringing together real (human) marketers who are testing AI in their strategies every day.

No fluff. No jargon. Just an honest (and maybe even slightly controversial) discussion on how AI is changing the way we do marketing.

What’s on the agenda?
The AI tools and tactics marketers are actually using
The ethical dilemmas no one can ignore
The future of AI in marketing—hype vs. reality

Meet the Panelists:
Kevin Kamis (Launch Kit) | Josh Barker (City Innovations) | E.B. Sonheim (Feyen Zylstra) | Jeff Pipp (Bloom Social) | Adam Clarke (1BoldStep)

Moderated by Lance Beaudry, CEO of Avalanche Creative.

Come early, stay late!

Doors open at 2:00 PM—grab some complimentary midday snacks, meet fellow marketers, and start the conversation before the panel even begins. And if you’ve got questions (or hot takes), stick around afterward to chat with the panelists.
