Demand’s Path Forward
March 19, 2026
Dizzied by today’s demand gen landscape? Find your footing with Informa TechTarget.
WHY ATTEND
The age of AI is here. As its arrival fundamentally alters B2B buyer behaviors, destabilizing shockwaves course through every stage of the demand generation funnel.
Buyer research journeys increasingly shift to LLMs, while once-reliable channels slow to a trickle. Inundated by a flood of low-value content, audience attention and trust levels continue to sink.
But piercing through the commotion and seizing increasingly rare connection points with both in and out-of-market buyers is within your reach.
Welcome to B2B Marketing, Disrupted: Demand’s Path Forward — a virtual summit designed to help you find your way through the turmoil and reinvent one step ahead of it. Across all phases of the demand generation continuum, top experts will guide you through the most critical strategic evolutions to thrive in an unfamiliar landscape.
AGENDA
6:00 AM EDT / 10:00 AM GMT
Battling Oversaturation: Effective Content That Captures Demand

General Manager of Studio, International
Informa TechTarget
Learn more
As the adoption of GenAI tools rapidly accelerates, inboxes and feeds have become overrun with low-value generated content — making it that much more difficult for buyers to decipher what content is valuable, credible and worthy of their time.
To stand out in the sea of sameness and drive demand, marketers must focus on a two-fold task: craft only immediately relevant, distinctive content and amplify it with a chorus of trusted voices.
Join Informa TechTarget’s Christina Thompson for a crash course in meeting your audience with high-value content that tackles their most pressing challenges with compelling POVs wholly unique to your brand. You’ll leave the session with practical frameworks for ensuring your content keeps up with rapidly evolving markets and leverages authoritative voices to achieve a make-or-break goal: Seize increasingly limited buyer attention and earn the kind of trust that ultimately propels them to purchase.
9:00 AM EDT / 1:00 PM GMT
Generating Demand in the Attention Economy

Founder and CEO

Thought Leader and Content Creator

How much mental space does your brand occupy in the minds of your buyers? If your brand is not seen, remembered, understood, and trusted, the answer is zero. And when it comes to high-stakes B2B buying decisions, brands that are forgotten don’t make it on the shortlist. They don’t even enter the buying equation.
Attention is where the chance to occupy valuable mental space begins. But today’s buyers have an increasingly finite amount of it to spend — and a deluge of platforms, publishers and creators vying for it.
Join Dr. Karen Nelson-Field, Founder/CEO at Amplified and Informa TechTarget’s John Steinert for a masterclass in architecting your demand generation program to breakthrough and captivate the kind of attention that converts into long-term business success.
10:00 AM EDT / 2:00 PM GMT

What happens when your lead machine is firing on all cylinders, yet bottom-of-funnel conversion stalls in the sales pipeline? For CyberArk, an epiphany changed everything: Enterprise purchase decisions are ultimately made by a band of stakeholders — not one single individual.
But as AI disrupts traditional buying journeys, unearthing and actioning the right kind of signals to influence all of the voices that sway a purchase can feel like an increasingly tall order.
Join Christina Stone from Informa TechTarget and Christian Lowery, Director of ABX Programs at CyberArk to learn how CyberArk strategically connected the dots to identify, activate and engage the full breadth of the buying group to strengthen their pipeline and surge their enterprise sales.
11:00 AM EDT / 3:00 PM GMT

All-time high content saturation. Skyrocketing buyer skepticism. Tanking website traffic. Bigger and harder to track buying groups than ever before. In the AI era, yesteryear’s disjointed, MQL-obsessed approach to demand gen will only flatline and burn investments.
To drive sustainable marketing influenced revenue now and in the future, it’s going to take a fully unified approach built on a foundation of precise signals. An approach that’s both AI-optimized and AI-resilient – purpose-built to build credibility, foster trust and engage with buyers at the speed of their decision-making.
Join Informa TechTarget’s Anita Covelli and Alex Graham as they unveil “Unified Demand”: a playbook for redesigning your demand gen strategy to thrive in the AI era.
