Keynote: Cortex Rituals 2080
In this keynote, Marty uses a speculative look back from the year 2080 to examine what he calls the Great AI Rupture of 2026 to 2036, a period when artificial intelligence and the people directing it begin to rewire marketing from the ground up. Through that future-history lens, he explores how ideas like identity decoupling, synthetic psychodynamics, and biometric resonance could reshape the way brands understand audiences, build creative, and make decisions.
This is a keynote for marketers willing to think beyond channel silos and short-term tactics. Marty’s core argument is that AI will not be most valuable as a standalone tool, but as a collaborative force embedded across strategy, analysis, creative development, and optimization. Expect a provocative session with a strong strategic spine, built to challenge assumptions and leave serious marketers with a sharper framework for navigating what comes next.
