Beyond the Hype: AI in 2026 and What Actually Works in Marketing

AI is everywhere – but advantage is not.

As we head into 2026, most companies now have access to the same AI models, tools, and automation. The real differentiator is no longer who can produce more content faster, but who can build belief, trust and brand credibility in a world where tactics are instantly copied.

Join us for the first 2026 TechTuesday session, for a practical, no-hype look at AI’s true role in modern marketing. This presentation cuts through the noise to focus on where AI meaningfully accelerates execution, where it quietly erodes trust and conversion, and how marketing leaders can build a durable moat in an AI-saturated landscape.

Our expert speaker, Nathan Yeung of Find Your Audience, is a strategist working at the intersection of AI, marketing, brand, and modern distribution. A sought-after speaker with keynotes at SaaS North, TechExit.io, SaaStock and Acetech, he advises on how to turn AI disruption into defensible advantage through authenticity, proof, and narrative.

Nathan will leave you with clear frameworks, real-world examples, and a grounded perspective you can apply immediately across your marketing stack- from research and content to campaigns, lifecycle, and sales enablement.

In this session, Nathan will touch on:

  • What’s fundamentally changed heading into 2026—and what actually matters now
  • The “automation ceiling” in marketing, and why more AI can reduce belief and conversion
  • Where AI belongs in your workflow (and where it absolutely doesn’t)
  • How to build a trust moat using proof, credibility signals, and human presence
  • A simple 2026 action plan: what to start, stop, and keep

If you’re responsible for growth, brand, or demand – and want to ensure AI strengthens rather than commoditizes your marketing, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
