Marketing at a Turning Point: Why Entirely Summit is Built for Real Change

Marketing leaders today are overwhelmed by an abundance of disconnected tools. The industry has trumpeted tailored marketing at scale for decades, yet the practical realities have consistently fallen short of those promises.

Entirely Summit exists precisely because marketing teams need genuine solutions, not more hype.

Real brands, real lessons

Graph Databases are sometimes referred to as ‘semantic graph database’
or ‘RDF Triplestore’.

Where many conferences promise but often fail to deliver practical insights, Entirely Summit operates on a different principle: peer learning grounded in experience.

Rather than hearing about theoretical possibilities, you'll connect with brands that have navigated the same challenges you're facing and can share what worked. When you listen to transformation stories from brands like IKEA, Bosch/Siemens or OTTO, it raises specific, actionable questions:

  • How did they connect new systems with existing tools?
  • What pitfalls did they encounter—and how did they overcome them?
  • How can your team avoid repeating those same mistakes?

The value of Entirely Summit 2025 lies in this exchange: you ask direct questions to the brands that have already navigated complex transformations. Conversations go beyond case studies and become dialogues with peers, vendors, and partners.

Entirely Summit exists precisely because marketing teams need genuine solutions, not more hype.

From complexity to composable clarity

Marketers today can choose from more than 14,000 different MarTech tools. It’s an overwhelming amount. But what we have learned is that having access to technology and getting value from it are two distinct challenges.

We're approaching this differently at Entirely Summit. Instead of adding another tool to an already crowded landscape, we're launching a next-generation MarTech model built as an open ecosystem. This gives brands the ability to become their architects, assembling tailored, modular solutions that make sense for their specific needs and constraints.

It is an approach to transformation that starts from where you are today. Your existing tools don't become obsolete; they become interconnected. Those fragmented systems that currently operate in silos evolve into unified, composable stacks that talk to each other.

There’s a real opportunity in turning your current MarTech investments into a strategic advantage.

AI isn't the future—it's part of our present.

Many vendors talk about AI like it's magic, as if it can transform your stack overnight. But genuine AI readiness requires a methodical approach that starts with preparing your content, data, workflows, and governance structures for seamless integration and scalability.

Summit pushes beyond the theoretical and offers a practical route for how to get real value out of AI.

Analysts like Gartner and Forrester estimate that up to 75% of operational marketing tasks could be automated. That's enormous potential, but automation without a strategic foundation only compounds existing issues. You end up automating chaos rather than creating clarity. Entirely Summit focuses precisely on building that foundation. You'll hear from brands that have already navigated this journey.

Built from European complexity, designed for global impact

The European market has produced some remarkably sophisticated solutions for marketing at scale. Multiple languages, intricate regulatory frameworks, and diverse consumer expectations across borders have shaped how European brands approach marketing technology. Here, we are familiar with complexity, and we also design software that can deal with complexity.

The Entirely Summit showcases the European answer to what the next generation of marketing technology looks like. That answer comes from brands that navigate this complexity every day—managing 90+ million different articles across 60+ countries while maintaining brand consistency and regulatory compliance.

For digital transformation leaders who've grown skeptical of MarTech events that promise the moon, this represents a fundamentally different approach. Every session is designed to equip you with actionable insights that address today's demands without adding unnecessary complexity or falling for industry hype.

Unmissable customer showcases

The heart of the Summit experience lies in the customer showcases—real stories from brands that have tackled complex problems and generated measurable value.

These aren’t polished narratives; they're honest explorations of what works and what doesn't.

What makes these sessions particularly valuable is their authenticity. You'll hear honest explorations of successes alongside the inevitable challenges and setbacks that come with any significant transformation. These conversations go beyond the typical conference success story to provide realistic roadmaps for implementing meaningful change in your organization.

The speakers will share not just what worked, but why specific approaches failed, what they'd do differently, and how they navigated the political and technical obstacles that every transformation faces. This kind of candid insight is invaluable when you're planning your journey.

Who should attend?

Entirely Summit is designed for those who recognize that the marketing landscape is shifting faster than ever. With AI poised to automate up to 75% of operational marketing tasks, the organizations that thrive will be those that prepare now rather than react later.

The Summit addresses a fundamental reality: every marketing solution your team uses creates its own data silo, and these disconnected systems are slowing down your organization and limiting your customer-centricity.

The Entirely community moves you forward by showing you how to transform your existing MarTech investments into strategic advantages. Brands that master this transformation will build defendable market positions, while those that don't risk being left behind as AI reshapes how marketing works.
