The Middle East’s largest marketing technology summit – Vibe Martech Fest – has announced that it will be held on June 5th and 6th, 2024 in Dubai, UAE. This year, we will focus on making an impact in a VUCA world.
The marketing community is at a critical juncture, impacted by emerging technologies that are reshaping the way companies operate, the way customers buy, and the way marketing teams function.
Vibe Martech Fest, the Middle East's largest and most influential marketing technology summit, is celebrating its 14th global edition. This year's agenda shifts toward results-based marketing approaches that help marketers tackle real-world challenges through strategies backed by real results.
The theme – Now Decides Next – reflects uncertain times and the skills business leaders need to develop to tackle these curveballs. The discussion moves beyond information to actionable strategies based on tangible results that impact marketing KPIs and contribute to business goals.
This program prioritizes modern customers. How they crave experiences, products and services that fit seamlessly into their lifestyles, and brands that genuinely care about the same things as them. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity for innovation for marketers.
While marketing spend is under intense scrutiny within intelligent enterprises, business stakeholders want to prioritize technology investments that facilitate faster time to market and operational efficiency.
While there is no precedent for this level of uncertainty in the near future, developing a mindset to tackle unknown challenges is a positive step in preparing for market volatility.
The report is based on survey responses from over 450 CMOs in the Middle East.
More than 67% of CMOs said technology continues to be a priority.
33% say the technology stack that enables personalization is leading the way
39% of CMOs in the Middle East shared that trust is a more important concern when handling customer data
