About this Event
Marketing has changed, but the need for a clear and authentic story has not. This event is designed for founders, entrepreneurs, and operators who want to understand how to build a brand that stands out in the age of AI and fast moving digital cycles.
We will explore how companies can strengthen their marketing, clarify their message, and use AI as a strategic advantage. The program includes a focused marketing discussion led by experienced operators, followed by a fireside style conversation with an industry leader. The session will cover practical ideas that help you show up with more clarity, consistency, and confidence in 2026.
Before and after the discussion, guests will enjoy curated networking inside the new Mashup Food Hall in NuLu. The space will feature tastings from local restaurant partners, open tours of the new coworking and event areas, and an easy environment for building real connections. We will also have a content capture corner to highlight founder stories, insights, and reflections that come out of the night.
This is a high value, end-of-year gathering for people who want to elevate their marketing, sharpen their message, and connect with Louisville’s growing creative and entrepreneurial community.
