The epicenter for the AI marketing era returns on October 8, 2026, convening marketing, AI, and technology leaders for its most ambitious event yet

Zeta Global (NYSE:ZETA), the AI Marketing Cloud, today announced that Zeta Live 2026 will take place on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at one of the most iconic venues in New York City. The company also unveiled Zeta Live's first keynote headliner, entrepreneur and global superstar Kevin Hart. Now in its sixth year, Zeta Live has grown into a premier gathering for enterprise marketers, AI innovators, and technology leaders. This year's event marks a significant expansion, reflecting the conference's increasing scale, influence, and role at the center of the AI-driven transformation of marketing.

Zeta Live is the industry's leading gathering for senior marketing executives and business leaders navigating the shift from AI experimentation to intelligence embedded across the enterprise. This year's program will examine how the most advanced organizations are building AI-powered marketing systems that know customers with greater precision, grow with measurable impact, and prove marketing's contribution to revenue with certainty.

"We are entering the era where AI doesn't assist marketing, it defines it," said David A. Steinberg, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Zeta Global. "AI is becoming the foundational layer of how marketing operates, and the organizations that win will be the ones that turn intelligence into action faster than their competition. Zeta Live exists for those leaders, and this year, we're bringing them together on the most ambitious stage we've ever built."

Kevin Hart will join the Zeta Live stage to share insights from his experience as an Emmy- and Grammy-nominated comedian, entrepreneur, and global box office powerhouse. He also serves as Chairman and CEO of Hartbeat and is the founder of HartBeat Ventures.

Zeta Live 2026's full speaker lineup, venue, and programming will be released at a later date. To be among the first to receive an invitation, visit here.
