AI for Marketers Masterclass Miami 2026

The AI for Marketers Masterclass Miami takes place at Ampersand Studios on NE 17th Street on Wednesday 4 November 2026. Masterclassing runs it as a free half-day for senior marketing leaders, from 8:45am to 12:45pm local time, with breakfast at the start and a light lunch at the end.

The Miami date has a performance marketing angle at the top. The keynote comes from Vivian Stewart, Performance Marketing Director at United Parks & Resorts, who leads full-funnel paid media and influencer strategy across the group's portfolio.

Between breakfast and the keynote, the morning splits into short expert talks and longer roundtables, where attendees compare what is and is not working with AI in their campaigns and day-to-day operations.

Seats go to senior marketing leaders. Roles that fit the morning include:

• CMOs and heads of marketing
• Performance and paid media leads
• Influencer and partnership managers
• Marketing operations leads
• Agency leaders with brand clients

The expert talks come from Customer.io, Storyblok, Onclusive and Scale Social, the companies Masterclassing credits as experts for this date. Vivian Stewart closes the session with a brand case study before lunch. She has close to a decade of growth marketing across luxury, hospitality, entertainment and lifestyle brands, and manages seven-figure media budgets in her current role. The timings are in the agenda on this page.

The discussion is built around five themes.

• AI-powered cultural intelligence for winning attention
• Predictive AI and automation for cross-channel campaign performance
• Personalisation at scale that still feels authentic
• AI-driven workflows for leaner marketing operations
• ROI measurement and optimisation with AI insights

A performance marketing director headlining a brand-side AI session is the reason this one is on AFFMashup. Affiliate managers, media buyers and agency leads who work with large consumer brands get a direct view of how a paid media and influencer team at that scale is using AI, and the small room makes it easy to carry the conversation on over lunch.

Places are free and limited, and requests go through the registration form on the event page with a work email address. Masterclassing pays for each seat and treats a registration as a firm commitment: a no-show, or a cancellation within two weeks of the event, costs $200 (or equivalent), unless a suitable colleague takes the place.

Ampersand Studios is at 31 NE 17th St, Miami, FL 33132. Breakfast is served from 8:45am, and the talks start at 9:15am.
