AI is either going to save marketing…or destroy it. Probably neither.
That’s why AAF Pittsburgh is kicking off the year with Outlook 2026: Somewhere Between Hype & Panic, a candid, grounded conversation about what AI actually means for marketers and creatives right now.
If you joined us for our last AI-focused panel, you know it was one of our most talked-about events. This year, we’re going bigger. We’ve secured a larger venue and a more central location to make it easier for more of our members to attend.
Why you’ll want to be there:
– A real, human discussion with no hype and no scare tactics
– Perspectives from academia, subject-matter experts, and voices from outside our market
– Practical insight you can apply to real work, right now
Join our moderator,
Nick Buchheit, Partner, Creative Director – Covalent, as he leads the discussion on this vital topic.
Our Panel:
Derek Ham, Ph.D. Director, Entertainment Technology Center – CMU
Dan Magdich, VP. Executive Creative Director – Brunner
Kevin Miles, Copywriter, Creative Director
