The Future Media Forum

Your Guide to Understanding the Future of Digital Paid Media

2027 Enquiries

An event specifically designed for the marketing & media industry. Providing deeper strategic thinking and meaningful industry connections.

Our mission is to strike the balance between sessions that give a platform to in-depth case-studies on the challenges faced by brand marketers, and their agency partners, whilst shining a light into the future of where we are headed as an industry.

Topics Addressed in 2026:

The media landscape isn’t just evolving; it’s experiencing a transformation akin to the advent of the printing press or the internal combustion engine.

AI isn’t just changing search, it’s creating autonomous systems that will shop, recommend, and transact on behalf of consumers. Traditional measurement approaches are being challenged, and privacy regulations are re-shaping targeting, particularly for future generations. Agency-client relationships are under unprecedented pressure as budgets tighten, and accountability demands intensify.

This year we explored all of this with key topics that fell into two key strands.

Challenges for Today

• – Demonstrating the ROI for Brands – Attribution, Measurement & MMM
• – AI and Creative, What that Means for Media Spend and Keeping Your Brand Authentic
• – Navigating the Fragmentation Crisis for Agencies in Media Buying
• – Privacy, Socials and Influencers – Reaching Gen-Z Audiences in a Regulated World

Shining a Light on the Future

• – The Global Macroeconomic Forces Reshaping Australian Digital Advertising
• – Artificial Intelligence & The Future of Search
• – Preparing for an Agentic AI Media Ecosystem
• – Trust and the Future of the Agency-Client Relationship

We can’t wait to do it all again in 2027. Register your interest below to stay ahead on how the event develops and to be part of this unmissable day.
