How To Build a Thought Leadership and Influencer Motion That Works

Featuring:
Ashley Faus, Head of Lifecycle Marketing, Portfolio; Atlassian
Nadia Davis, VP of Marketing, CaliberMind

About the Session

Thought leadership and influencer marketing are everywhere—but very few teams can prove they actually work.

In this session, Ashley Faus, Head of Lifecycle Marketing at Atlassian, breaks down how to build a thought leadership and influencer motion that earns trust, scales responsibly, and drives real business impact. Instead of chasing vanity metrics or one-off campaigns, Ashley shares how to design a system that connects people, content, and distribution into a cohesive growth engine.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Define thought leadership beyond “posting more content”

  • Identify and activate the right voices—inside and outside your company

  • Design programs that build credibility over time, not just short-term reach

  • Measure what actually matters in a trust-driven motion

 

If you’re tired of influencer efforts that feel disconnected or thought leadership that’s hard to justify, this session will help you build a motion that works in the real world.

Architecting MarTech 2026: Taming the Agentic Wild Card

Featuring:
Scott Brinker, Analyst & Advisor, chiefmartec
Frans Riemersma, Founder, MartechTribe
Nadia Davis, VP of Marketing, CaliberMind

About the Session

The 2026 State of MarTech report reveals a massive paradox: while 90% of organizations have experimented with AI agents, only 23% have successfully moved them into full production. While AI is now “everywhere” , we have hit a “Trust Wall.”

Currently, 80.6% of marketing organizations refuse to let AI agents operate autonomously, requiring a “Human-in-the-Loop” for every final decision. Join Scott Brinker (chiefmartec), Frans Riemersma (Martech Tribe), and Nadia Davis (CaliberMind) as they unveil a data-backed survey of trends and the blueprint for The Great Rewiring—a fundamental shift in how we architect stacks, build scalable processes, and manage technology change in 2026.

We are moving beyond the “Magic 8-Ball” approach of probabilistic AI (where outputs can feel like a gamble) to the “Crystal Ball” precision of enterprise-grade, deterministic systems.

Don’t leave your 2026 strategy to a Magic 8-Ball. Join us for a first look at the trends rewiring the very DNA of the marketing department.

8 Things You Didn’t Know (But Should!) Attribution Could Do

Featuring:
Elizabeth Dolan, Senior Marketing Operations Manager, Fleetworthy
Nadia Davis, VP of Marketing, CaliberMind

About the Session

Most marketers treat attribution like a glorified receipt—a way to prove they spent money and didn’t lose it. But as Liz Dolan, Sr. Manager of Marketing Operations at Fleetworthy, puts it:

“If you are using attribution just to prove that marketing is doing something, you’ve got a PR problem. Attribution should be used for marketing system optimization.”

If you’re only using data to justify your budget, you’re missing a huge portion of the GTM entire revenue galaxy. 

In this session, our guest Liz Dolan will  explore 8 unconventional (and unexpected)  ways in which she has  used attribution models for genuine system optimization – with mind-blowing results with direct business impact.

 From validating your true ICP through engagement patterns to predicting sales win rates and mapping the “Buying Group” architecture, she’ll show you how to turn data fragments into a roadmap for growth. Join us to learn how to stop tracking “what happened” and start orchestrating “what happens next.”

The Switzerland of GTM: How RevOps Can Broker Strategic Alignment Across Marketing, Sales, and CS

Featuring:
Andrew Dimmick, Marketing Operations Manager, ObservePoint
Nadia Davis, VP of Marketing, CaliberMind

About the Session

As GTM teams grow, hyper-specialization often creates a strange side effect: teams become so focused on their own metrics that they start to operate like different civilizations. They might share the same office and speak the same language, but they are driven by different incentives and operating in total silos. Marketing is sprinting to drum up MQLs, Sales is hunting for “whale” logos, and CS is back at the ranch trying to stop the bleeding of churn.

If this disconnected reality feels familiar, you aren’t alone. But if you’re in Operations, you have the secret power to bring these worlds together.

In this episode of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Marketing Analytics, we sit down with Andrew Dimmick to discuss why RevOps is the essential “Switzerland” of the modern enterprise. 

While the rest of the world is currently obsessed with “AI-ing” every workflow and automating human interaction out of existence, Andrew takes a critical-reasoning-first approach. He views RevOps not just as a curator of tools and reports, but as a human-first philosophy advocate.

To Andrew, business alignment is never solved by a new plugin. Based on his own experience, true alignment is forged by applying deep business expertise to the departmental competencies across the “GTM House.” Because RevOps sits at the heart of the data and the systems, it possesses a unique, neutral capacity to advise Marketing, Sales, and CS without the bias of favoritism. It is the strategic hinge that ensures the customer journey doesn’t snap under the weight of departmental silos.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Strategic Diplomacy: How to use your position at the heart of data and systems to broker peace ( leveraging agenda-free data)  between competing departmental KPIs without the bias of favoritism.

  • Automate “What,” Exactly? The danger of “plain-vanilla” automation; if you don’t have the business context (like understanding PLG vs. Enterprise strategy), you will inevitably automate the wrong things.

  • Why Mastery of the Business Craft Still Matters More than AI Proficiency: Why relentless focus on key business metrics as your primary context lens is more valuable than “AI-everything” when building a scalable revenue engine; and why being a “master of craft” in RevOps requires human reasoning, intuition, and emotional intelligence—things that more data (and more ML) alone cannot replace.

  • Ultimate Path to GTM Alliance: Practical ways to move RevOps from a reactive “ticket-taker” function to proactive insights-rich architects of scale ( Imaging going to leadership with insights—such as why spending more on an Adobe Summit booth doesn’t automatically equal more pipeline!)


Join us as we learn how to navigate the galaxy of GTM friction with Andrew’s grounded, human-centric approach to operations.

The State of Attribution in 2026

Featuring:
Scott Brinker, Analyst & Advisor, chiefmartec
Frans Riemersma, Founder, MarTechTribe
Nadia Davis, VP of Marketing, CaliberMind

About the Session
 

Marketing attribution has a language problem. It speaks conversion. The board speaks revenue. And as AI multiplies touchpoints, channels, and data exhaust faster than any team can process, the gap between marketing activity and business outcomes keeps widening.

But in the right hands, attribution isn’t a reporting layer—it’s the connective tissue of a modern GTM motion. The 2026 State of Marketing Attribution Report reveals that the old model of chasing channel credit is giving way to something more powerful: attribution as a decision engine.

In this webinar with Scott Brinker and Frans Riemersma, we’ll unpack key findings of the 2026 State of Attribution report: what separates mature attribution practices from stuck ones, including the three revenue forensics questions most marketers can’t answer on the spot, why 80% of revenue flows from just 20% of customer journeys, and how to design attribution for decisions — not dashboards.

Watch to get exclusive access to the 2026 State of Attribution Report and hear Scott and Frans discuss their findings.

Building a Unified Marketing Model: MMM + MTA Top 10 Reasons Why the Two are Better Together

Featuring:
Joe Domaleski, Founder, Country Fried Creative
Nadia Davis, VP of Marketing, CaliberMind

About the Session
 

Marketing measurement has a clarity problem. Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) shows you what’s converting right now, but it misses the bigger picture — offline channels, brand impact, and long-term effects. Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) fills that gap with a top-down, data-driven view of what actually drives revenue over time.

In this episode, Joe Domaleski breaks down how MTA and MMM differ, why they often disagree, and why you need both. You’ll learn what each model measures, the data they require, where they fall short, and how to start building MMM even with imperfect data.

Watch to understand how modern teams combine MTA for day-to-day optimization and MMM for smarter, long-term budget decisions — and how to make both work together.
