An Exclusive Retreat for Marketing Technology Leaders: Elevate Your Thinking. Deepen Your Connections.

The Marketing Tech Retreat – An Exclusive Forum With Content By Victorian MarTech Leaders for the Challenges You Face, Coming To You From The Stunning RACV Cape Schanck Resort.

Designed for deeper and more meaningful connections, this event is the very opposite of a one-day inner-city conference. With not a single exhibition stand in sight, the Marketing Tech Retreat offers two days of compelling keynote presentations, fireside chats and curate social experiences – giving you’re the space and the time to have the conversations that matter most.

You’ll form unparalleled connections in a relaxed, distraction-free setting that no exhibition hall or inner-city venue could ever match.

After an incredible inaugural event in November 2024 with an audience score of 8.9, we’re excited to be returning on 12th-14th November. Register your interest to stay up to date with speaker announcements and the 2025 program.

Our Content For 2025:

If our word for 2024 was ‘Composability’ for 2025 it’s ‘Ownership’

That’s because what MarTech is, is huge. A lot bigger that what is encapsulated in 2017, when Ashton Media began covering work in this crucial space. While MarTech covers many things, what we primarily look at are challenges faced by digital marketers that are looking to utilise technology, and their first-party data, to create personalised marketing experiences through their owned channels. A key question is whether that should be where we draw the line on what MarTech is.

Our agenda and Topics & Trends report focus on two key themes:

Operationalising the Process of Personalisation:

– Setting the Strategy – Digital Technology & Architecture
– Data Enablement – Analytics & Insights
– The Content Supply Chain – Personalisation at Scale
– MarTech & CX – Connect Customer Journey’s with AI & Automation

Contextualising MarTech in 2025

– Ownership in MarTech – Who Should, and Who Does, Own What in the Digital Marketing Ecosystem?
– Right-Sizing Your Tech Stack – What Good Looks Like in 2025
– Harmonising Your Owned Marketing with Your Paid Media
– Privacy and Regulations for the Future
