The response here doesn’t exactly paint a pretty picture for the upcoming “virtual conference season” - with AWS and other vendors planning long multi-day events - maybe they should reconsider in the future... spread out over time...

Agree. Anything over 4 hours in one day is just not plausible. Some of the shorter ones with a bit in logical break have been OK and there is still value in the content itself. Much like the workplace, some of the value comes from the in person organic interactions that occur, which can’t or don’t serve themselves well in a digital only platform.

AI and Research in Marketing and Communications: How Are You Ensuring Quality and Truth Over Speed? As AI becomes embedded in our day-to-day marketing operations, from customer insight to content strategy, it’s clear we’re gaining speed and scale. But are we sacrificing veracity and quality of output in the process? One of the biggest challenges I'm seeing is the rise of hallucinated content in AI-generated research. - How do we ensure AI systems are surfacing trustworthy, contextually accurate, and well-sourced information? - Are we building enough verification layers into our AI-driven content and research workflows? - And how are you educating teams (and execs) to challenge AI outputs, rather than accept them at face value? - What frameworks, tools, or governance models have you adopted to maintain integrity and depth in AI-led research and insight creation? - Have you had success (or struggles) balancing speed vs. substance in AI-powered strategies? Your thoughts, examples, and recommendations would be incredibly valuable in helping others try to navigate this shift responsibly.
