Our industry is evolving faster than ever, driven by rapid advancements in technology and AI.

Join our monthly roundtable for AI enthusiasts, hosted by Raymond Manookian, Head of AI Experience Design, Cognizant Moment. This is a safe space to come together, share challenges, and explore opportunities in AI.

AI is now the dominant narrative in almost every channel we consume. It’s being talked about, built with, sold, regulated and debated at pace.
But what does the market actually feel like right now?

In March, we’ll take a step back and run a temperature check across agencies, in-house teams and product organisations.

• What are clients genuinely asking for?
• Where is spend flowing and where is it tightening?
• Are we seeing real capability shift inside teams?
• Who is shaping the narrative and who is quietly pushing back?
• And from a practitioner’s point of view, what does day-to-day reality actually look like?

This is an open session. Just honest perspectives from across the BIMA community.

If you’re working with AI in design, product, CX, sales, operations or leadership, bring your view.

Our Peer Network lead will guide the discussion, sharing perspectives, but crucially looking into what you are doing.

Limited to 12 attendees to allow for discussion. The Chatham House Rule applies and places are strictly limited to one per organisation.

We hope you can make it!
