Inside 90Labs: A Marketer's Guide to Building AI Tools (Without Becoming an Engineer)

In this session, she'll walk through 90Labs, the AI-powered sales-enablement workspace she built at 90 Seconds using Claude Code and Replit. You'll see what she shipped, how she shipped it without engineers, and what to steal for your own marketing function.

When AI Changes the Game — How Subnet Adopted HubSpot's New Loop Marketing Framework

When HubSpot announced their new Loop Marketing framework in late 2025, it signified how AI had created a seismic shift away from the Inbound Marketing methodology that had been central to HubSpot for nearly 15 years. Ben provides practical examples of how Subnet completely changed their marketing program to adopt Loop Marketing — and the results they have seen so far from this new AI-driven approach.

Marketing Manager, CAASie

Beyond Clicks: How Modern Teams Measure Channels That Create Demand

Most marketing teams still optimise for what is easiest to measure, not what actually drives growth. In this session, Cate Mayer explores how channels like Reddit, Spotify, Pinterest and DOOH can materially influence demand long before a customer clicks or converts. Attendees will learn how to think beyond the standard search and paid social mix, and how to evaluate performance using signals such as search lift, direct traffic and downstream conversion impact.
