But most of it? Noise. Vanity metrics dressed up as strategy. In this keynote, Darrell Keezer, CEO of Candybox, cuts through the hype to show you what's actually working, and what's quietly wasting your budget. From the tactics producing real pipeline to the "innovations" generating nothing but impressive-sounding reports, this session is a no-filter audit of AI in marketing today. You'll walk away knowing: -> The AI use cases generating real ROI, and the ones burning your team's time. -> Why vanity metrics are the biggest threat to your marketing credibility right now. -> How the best brands are using AI to fuel smarter, faster creative campaigns. -> What the brand stories of 2026 actually teach us about doing this right. This isn't a session about what AI could do someday. It's about what separates the gold from the garbage, right now.🕑: 10:30 AM - 11:15 AMThe Art & Science of PersuasionHost: Ben WiseInfo: What if you could understand the hidden triggers that drive human decision-making? In this talk, we'll decode the science behind persuasion, revealing the subtle tactics that influence our choices. We scour the research on psychology, behavioural economics, and influence to bring you the most actionable way to increase your impact. Learn to apply these insights to achieve your goals, whether in marketing, sales, or everyday life.🕑: 11:15 AM - 12:15 PMWhy Should The Market Care About You?Host: Derek JoyntInfo: In this session, Derek Joynt, COO and Head of Strategy at Candybox Marketing, breaks down one of the biggest threats to growth: the strategy that feels safest in the boardroom is often the one that quietly makes your company invisible in the market. That is uncomfortable, but also liberating. If growth has stalled, it may not mean your company is broken. It may mean the market does not know why to care. And that is a very different problem. Derek will challenge leaders to look beyond more marketing activity and show how strategic clarity can help companies stand out, become more relevant and turn ambition into momentum.🕑: 01:15 PM - 02:00 PMTBDHost: TBDInfo: TBD🕑: 02:00 PM - 03:00 PMTBDInfo: TBD - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oakville/marketing-made-sweet-2026/100001990871651703 - **Event Categories**: business, conferences, science-fair, food-drinks, art, contests, artificial-intelligence - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - door_time: 2026-11-17T13:00:00Z - Duration: 6 hours - Location: Oakville Conference & Banquet Centre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 258.77, max: 258.77, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Oakville - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Oakville Conference & Banquet Centre - **lat**: 43.4086235 - **long**: -79.7360254 - **full address**: Oakville Conference & Banquet Centre, 2515 Wyecroft Road, Oakville, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Marketing Made Sweet 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/d59a7d18a20f4f651e3ca45798d7421dead73633519aa4d12153cdb29de2b747-rimg-w1200-h600-dc010102-gmir.jpg?v=1782131736 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Marketing Made Sweet 2026 being held? - **A:** Marketing Made Sweet 2026 takes place on Tue, 17 Nov, 2026 at 09:00 am to Tue, 17 Nov, 2026 at 03:00 pm at Oakville Conference & Banquet Centre, 2515 Wyecroft Road, Oakville, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Marketing Made Sweet 2026? - **A:** Marketing Made Sweet 2026 is organized by Candybox Marketing. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
