The event will be held at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland, and features keynotes, breakout sessions, interactive workshops and immersive experiences. MAICON is designed to help marketing leaders understand AI, educate their teams, garner executive support, pilot priority AI use cases, and develop a near-term strategy for successfully scaling AI.
