General Assembly San Francisco

Join us for two Ai-focused presentations that examine how brands are evolving to successfully adopt and deliver against Ai’s potential.


We’ll address mission critical issues inherent to reaping the benefits of the age of the algorithm. We’ve invited a UX professional and Ai Jedis to share some perspectives on how we should most successfully approach Ai. The black box nature of Ai is something that must be addressed as it’s adopted by agencies and brands. These two sessions will offer lessons shared by leading UX professionals from international brands and showcase Glimpzit as a next generation agency that has harnessed Ai to deliver their marketing, content creation and market research services.


This not-to-be missed insider’s look at the cutting-edge fusion between artificial intelligence and the marketing industry is perfect for every marketer wanting to understand where this tech is headed.
