As the year comes to a close, we reflect on the events that strengthened our relationships with clients, colleagues, and partners. At Cognitiv, these moments go beyond gatherings—they showcase expertise, foster connections, and spark innovation. From our signature Neural Networking series to Cannes and other major industry tentpoles, events have driven forward conversations on deep learning in advertising.

Showcasing Expertise

Cognitiv’s 2024 events highlighted our leadership in AI and advertising, tackling the industry’s most pressing challenges through keynote speeches, interactive panels, and live demonstrations. For instance, at September’s Neural Networking panel, we shifted the narrative from AI hype to practical implementation, equipping attendees with strategies to select the right AI partners and maximize advanced tools for tangible outcomes.

Like our Neural Networking series, every event Cognitiv hosted this year was designed with a commitment to high-quality content. We attracted attention from potential clients, collaborators, and media by sharing relevant insights and fostering meaningful conversations. This positioned Cognitiv as thought leaders and innovators dedicated to advancing the advertising industry.

Creating Connections

Building relationships defined 2024 for our team. Whether at intimate dinners with partners like The Room or larger summits like Digiday, we forged meaningful connections that translated into tangible business outcomes.

The influence of these connections was evident in the success stories we have experienced, where hosted events resulted in real business value. We created a community where collaboration and growth thrived by bringing together decision-makers, innovators, and industry leaders.

Educating and Inspiring

Education remained a cornerstone of our 2024 events. For example, at our Digiday Sandbox presentation earlier this month, we demonstrated how ContextGPT™ enables seasonal relevance by looking beyond keywords, leveraging privacy-first tools, and adapting mid-funnel strategies. Similarly, our collaboration with The Women in Programmatic Network for 'AI at Work' highlighted AI’s transformative impact on advertising and workplace productivity. Through actionable insights and real-world applications, we ensured attendees left ready to drive growth within their own organizations.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As we look ahead, 2025 promises to be even more impactful. We aim to expand Neural Networking’s reach, explore innovative event formats, and collaborate with top industry leaders to address emerging topics in AI and advertising. By providing follow-up resources and evergreen content, we intend to extend the value of our events beyond the day they occur, keeping our community engaged year-round.

Experience cutting-edge AI application firsthand in 2025 at events like CES (January 7-10, Las Vegas), Brand Insider Summit: Pharma & Health, and the Digiday Media Buying Summit, where we will showcase groundbreaking innovations and collaborate with leaders like Sargento. And stay tuned for Neural Networking Spring 2025, perhaps coming to a city near you this spring!
