As we move through 2026, marketing teams face a defining tension: customers expect experiences that fit like a perfectly tailored suit, precise, relevant, and made for them, yet are increasingly resistant to being measured to achieve it.
This is the personalisation paradox.
At the same time, personalisation itself is being redefined. It is no longer just about targeting the right message, but about meeting customers where they are and creating value in the moments that matter. AI has made personalisation faster and more scalable than ever, but the challenge is now human: ensuring experiences feel genuinely tailored, not mechanically assembled. Brands must balance relevance with trust, automation with authenticity, and precision with responsibility.
The Marketing Personalisation Summit explores how leading organisations are resolving this paradox, delivering AI-powered experiences at scale while earning the trust, transparency, and control customers expect.

As AI continues to reshape marketing, the organisations seeing the greatest success aren't simply investing in new technology; they're building the foundations that enable personalisation to deliver genuine commercial value.
In this exclusive interview, Haleema Ali, Head of B2B Marketing, ManpowerGroup, explores why successful personalisation depends on trusted first-party data, organisational alignment, responsible AI adoption, and a relentless focus on creating meaningful customer experiences.
Personalisation has become one of the most important, and most overused, words in marketing. Whether that is a first name in an email, a product recommendation based on browsing history, or an advert that follows you around the internet – does that really constitute personalisation?
In this exclusive Talking Heads infographic, four senior marketing leaders from AXA Health International, Wren, ManpowerGroup and E.ON share their definitions of personalisation and explore what it means to create experiences that are relevant, useful, and genuinely valuable.
As organisations race to scale AI-powered personalisation, many are asking the wrong question. The challenge isn't how to personalise more; it's how to create experiences that customers genuinely value while earning their trust.
In this exclusive Executive Interview, Virginie Faucon, Chief Marketing Officer, shares how AXA Health International is rethinking personalisation through the lens of customer service, first-party data, and responsible AI.
