Adapt or Die is more than a conference. It’s a field guide for survival, packed with tools, tactics and tough love for strategists who want to thrive, not just survive through chaotic times. Come ready to explore bold, thought-provoking, forward-thinking strategies in marketing, media and advertising. Hear from strategy and brand leaders and the strategic planners behind some of the Jay Chiat Award-winning case studies and learn how to adapt faster than the forces reshaping our industry.
