Events Creative Operations Summit New York 2026 Track 2 From Problem to Platform

How Creative Leaders Decide What Tech Really Matters

Context

  • Creative teams have more technology available than ever before
  • But more tools don’t mean better outcomes
  • In a market full of ‘AI-powered’ promises and constant innovation, the real challenge isn’t access to technology; it’s knowing what you really need and why

A panel to establish first principles

  • What are the real business problems we’re trying to solve? 
  • How should technology, AI, and tools fit into a broader, effective ecosystem?

Senior leaders at different stages of their tech journey discuss how organisations are:

  • Defining and aligning on real business needs before investing in tech
  • Cutting through market noise to make smarter, more strategic, decisions
  • Balancing innovation with practicality and long-term value
  • Building tech ecosystems that are scalable, sustainable, and used

Honest, in-depth, conversation grounded in real-world experience

  • What has worked, and what has not
  • How leaders are shaping their next phase of investment

The focus 

The move from reactive tool-buying to intentional, outcome-driven strategy.
