In the world of email marketing, there is no shortage of trends to pursue. But which ones are most worth your effort? Which ones are the riskiest? And which have proven to be among the most impactful?
Leveraging 6 years of survey data, Oracle Digital Experience Agency’s Chad S. White will explain which email marketing trends are rising stars, which are perpetual also-rans, and everything in between.
Chad will cover 30 trends, including generative AI, AMP for email, schema, ML-powered subject line optimization, modular email architecture, dark mode optimization, and customer data platforms.

This is NOT a technical talk of AI or where it may be going (luddite view or doom/eutopia forecasting), but a thoughtful look at end customers. No matter where the technology goes, this is a “how to think about AI” talk—when its use is uncontroversially good and when it can backfire (and examples of where it already has).
We’ll look at the early-hype-to-latestage-annoyance curve, where we are, possible future outcomes, and the best place for your company to be positioned. Jumping on the hype wagon too early or joining the technology revolution too late can be disastrous for companies.

We all know we need it, but don’t always know how to make it work for us—data.
You might ask yourself, “What data should I collect to improve my email campaigns? And once I have it, how can I make it actionable?”
From boosting personalization to increasing open and click-through rates, the right data strategy can take your email campaigns from average to exceptional. In this session, we’ll identify five key data points to collect and share ways to design email campaigns that drive better engagement and enhance the customer experience.
You’ll leave this session with a framework for identifying the most impactful data to improve email performance, strategies for leveraging first-party data to deliver more personalized and relevant content, and steps to clean and organize your email list for better deliverability and more substantial ROI.
