The Marketing Vanguard Summit, grounded in ADWEEK's unique expertise in the advertising and marketing ecosystem, will convene 100 CMOs and their rising stars for an extraordinary single-day gathering of the best marketing minds—an uncommon leadership forum for a new era of flux. Our speakers and agenda setters will be CMOs as well as CEOs and other c-suite executives, academics, industry leaders, and adjacent rock-star speakers who will provide needed inspiration, tactical knowledge and innovative perspectives to spark creativity and spur business growth.

Programming will be conducted in an on-record/off-record approach, some discussions will be closed door/safe space, and others will be captured in takeaways from the event that ADWEEK shares more broadly with its audiences. Speakers will engage as “provocateurs” for whole-room discussion. 

Following a provocative, engaging day for discussions, we’ll transport the group figuratively and literally to “Feast Like a Bear.” We’ll dine at Chicago’s The Publican, where chefs featured in the hit series The Bear will recreate some of the best bites from the show. The experience will be full of surprises meant to inspire.
