Planning Your Adobe Summit Experience? Here are 6 Must-see Marketing Innovations Sessions

Adobe Summit

The Adobe Summit Marketing Innovations track — powered by CMO.com — is dedicated to thought leadership and digital transformation. Engage with fellow visionaries and executives to get ideas on how to combine industry insights and leadership strategies with the digital marketing platforms that will help you build the next generation of marketing success for your organization.

Here are six must-see sessions at Summit that you should consider when you register:

1. Adobe Digital Insights Top 10 predictions for the future

Adobe has a unique macro view of the internet — a view that can even let us see the future. The data from billions of online transactions that pass through Adobe Analytics can show the path of online prices, e-commerce, and the entire digital economy. Information from countless video and advertising viewings can show how the value of consumer attention is changing. And deep dives into social, e-commerce, and attitudinal data can tell us which new technologies will be truly disruptive and which will wither. Taylor Schreiner — director of Adobe Digital Insights — and Ray Wang — founder and principal analyst at the Constellation Group — will discuss what this data tells everyone about the future of digital experiences.

2. The sophisticated marketer’s guide to LinkedIn

Savvy marketers know that creating impactful content that draws eyeballs is table stakes. Often overlooked is the timing and distribution strategy of that content, which can make all the difference between a message that penetrates through the digital noise and gets to the right audience at the right time or one that just gets lost in the mix. Join this session led by LinkedIn’s content marketing expert to explore what makes successful content, how to create it, and how to maximize its impact through distribution.
