Leading figures from the worlds of media, marketing, technology and creativity will meet to debate the latest marketing technologies and the challenge of putting humans first. The event will take place at the Escape Room in Birmingham on the 26th October.

The ‘Now that’s what I call creativity – Robots or Humans?’ event from the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), the world’s leading professional marketing body, will provide valuable insight into the latest thinking ranging from artificial intelligence to predictive modelling and virtual worlds to gamification. It will be the second event hosted jointly by CIM Midlands and the national CIM Creative Communications Group.

If harnessed correctly the latest advancements in programmatic media, AI, predictive modelling, virtual worlds, robots and gamification offer endless possibilities to drive both results and creativity.”
