Executive Lunch with Scott Brinker

Martech is entering a period of extraordinary change. AI and agentic technologies are rapidly expanding what’s possible, but for leaders, the bigger question is becoming: what should we actually do with it?

Join Scott Brinker, the “Godfather of Martech,” alongside Hightouch, Snowflake and Vivanti for an intimate executive lunch with a small group of Sydney’s senior marketing, data and digital leaders.

There are no slides and no formal program. Instead, Scott will bring his perspective from two decades at the forefront of martech to an open conversation about what’s changing, where the most meaningful opportunities are emerging, and how leaders can navigate a world where technology is evolving faster than organisations can absorb it.

We’ll explore the implications of AI and agents for marketing, customer engagement, data and the martech stack and, importantly, hear what others around the table are seeing inside their own organisations.

This lunch, hosted at the Yallamundi Room in the iconic Sydney Opera House, is deliberately small to create space for a candid, peer-level discussion, thoughtful questions and perspectives that rarely surface at larger events.

Three hours. One table. No presentations. A conversation about what comes next.

Seats are limited to keep the conversation focused and interactive. Please register your interest to request a place at the table.
