Overview:

This isn’t just a dinner, it’s a gathering of marketing leaders shaping what comes next. Panelle and Databricks have partnered to bring you this intimate evening at the Four Seasons San Francisco, bringing together women CMOs and senior marketing executives at the forefront of data and AI transformation.

Marketing is at a generational inflection point. AI is no longer experimental, it’s redefining how growth, creativity, and decision-making happen. Together, we'll explore what it really takes to break down data silos, build shared intelligence across teams, and turn marketing ambition into real action.

The evening will open with a candid perspective from Databricks on how leading brands are operationalizing AI, making trusted data more accessible, and creating the foundation for smarter, faster, more adaptive marketing organizations.

Over dinner, conversations will dive into the realities behind the headlines: how to scale AI responsibly, align marketing and technical teams around a unified vision, and build organizations ready for continuous innovation. We’ll also explore the leadership pathways, mentorship, and cultural shifts needed to ensure more women shape the future of marketing and AI.

At Panelle, we pride ourselves on our authentic, intimate evenings built to create real connection, real perspective, and real possibility. We create the space for women leaders to move beyond adapting to change and start defining it.
