We invite thought leaders, innovators, and practitioners in Competitive Intelligence (CI) and marketing strategy to submit proposals to speak at our upcoming summit, The Art of Competitive Marketing: Brushstrokes of Strategic Insights.

This year’s theme reflects the fusion of creativity and precision in CI. Just as artists layer brushstrokes to create a masterpiece, competitive marketers layer insights, signals, and strategies to reveal a complete picture of the competitive landscape. With the rise of artificial intelligence, new technologies are transforming how we gather intelligence, analyze data, and deliver strategic value to organizations.

Why This Matters

In today’s dynamic marketplace, competitive intelligence is no longer just about monitoring rivals — it’s about anticipating change, guiding decision-making, and shaping market strategy. AI and automation are accelerating the speed and scale at which intelligence teams can operate, but human interpretation, creativity, and strategic storytelling remain critical. This conference will explore how intelligence leaders combine art and science to create lasting impact.

Key Outcomes of the Conference
Participants will:

  • Gain frameworks for applying CI to competitive marketing challenges.

  • Get a deep understanding of how various business functions are shaped by a company's competitive practice.

  • Explore the impact of AI on the future of competitive intelligence practices.

  • Learn best practices for embedding CI into strategic decision-making and marketing execution.

  • Develop skills in presenting insights as compelling narratives that influence stakeholders.

  • Expand networks by connecting with CI professionals, marketers, and strategists.

Suggested Speaking Topics
We are seeking engaging, practical, and forward-looking presentations in the following areas:

  • AI in CI: Practical applications, risks, and opportunities of artificial intelligence in intelligence gathering, analysis, and reporting.

  • The Art of Insight Delivery: Creative ways to package and present intelligence that resonates with executives and marketing leaders.
