After-Work Meeting on July 7, 2026 – Data First, AI Second

Why Most AI Projects Don't Make It Past the Pilot Phase.

Most AI projects never make it past the pilot phase because they run into data-related problems. On July 7, Philipp Forman will show ways to escape the data trap.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Many companies collect data. Few actually use it. Even fewer understand why their data isn’t giving them what they need.

It all starts with one thing: the quality of the data. If you’re careless here, you’ll be making marketing decisions in the dark—no matter how big your budget is or how many great tools you have.


At the after-work meeting, Philipp Foreman, CEO of onacy, will demonstrate what it means to set up data properly—and what opportunities this opens up for modern, data-driven marketing. From well-founded targeting to efficient budget management to decisions that can truly be justified.


Following that, Philipp Foreman and Dr. Volker Meise (meise.ai), and Vincent Wilmink (data and AI expert) will discuss real-world applications: Where does data-driven marketing really fall short? And what does it take to make it work?  Moderated by Mark Bourichter, Managing Partner at husare.
