Research Session: Content Strategies to Drive Tech Purchases

In the age of AI, content strategy is increasingly crucial. This session highlights how content can influence technology leaders' purchasing decisions and vendor relationships. Drawing from The Content Studio 2025's research, we'll share insights into effective content strategies that enhance engagement and credibility. The study surveyed over 150 respondents from more than 25 industries, emphasising the significance of quality content and practical product information throughout the buying process. Notably, 77% of respondents have switched vendors based on the content they consumed. Following this data presentation, join us for a fireside chat on the future of B2B content, where you'll learn how leveraging respected partners and third-party content can enhance credibility and trust.

In a world overflowing with martech, dashboards, and AI tools, most teams are facing a quiet crisis: they don’t trust their data.

You’ll learn why clean, connected, and explainable data is now the true competitive advantage, and how three principles (Trust, Validate, Activate) can transform your go-to-market operations from reactive to resilient.
