The Future of Agentic MarTech - #SFTechWeek
This Tech Week session brings together founders, investors, and leaders in consumer software, AI, and services to explore how autonomous, agentic AI is rewriting the rules of marketing technology. From hyper-personalized customer journeys to predictive growth strategies, we’ll dive into the innovations transforming how companies connect, scale, and thrive.
Here's how it works:

9:30 AM to 10:30 AM - Panel 1
10:30 AM - 11:30 AM - Panel 2
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM - Networking
We’ll look at what the future could look like in one year and in five years: how team management will evolve, how budgets will be allocated, and what signals deserve our attention today. We’ll also explore the marketing stack of the future which platforms will die, and which will thrive, how team structures will shift, and what role humans will play.
The conversation will take a business-first perspective, viewed through the lens of startups and investors, to imagine how the next era of MarTech will be built.
