AdFest 2026 Welcomes Nishtha Jain, CSL's Global Search and External Innovation Platform Leader, as Keynote Speaker

We’re excited to welcome Nishtha Jain, Global Search and External Innovation Platform Leader at CSL, to the AdFest 2026 stage as a keynote speaker!

Her keynote, “The Irreplaceable Edge: Why the Next Era of Media and Marketing Belongs to the Boldly Human,” will explore what becomes more valuable—not less—as AI transforms how brands operate, create, connect, and compete.

AI can already write the headline, build the deck, and predict what converts. So what's actually left for us? This session isn't about resisting AI, but it's about sharpening the irreplaceable edge: the handful of human skills it can't touch. Through stories spanning failed platforms, a product rejected by its own market research, and a legendary comeback built one moment at a time, this talk offers a framework for staying irreplaceable in an AI-driven industry.

With nearly two decades of experience across AI, digital transformation, innovation, and global enterprise leadership, Nishtha brings a perspective shaped by turning emerging technology into meaningful business and human impact.

This is the final week to register for AdFest 2026.

Join us September 14–17 at Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Puerto Rico.
