As AI-driven search and chatbots increasingly sit between patients and your brand, the question is no longer just “Can people find us?” but “Will AI choose us?” It is hard enough to build a brand that patients, HCPs, and other stakeholders love; now marketers must also win the confidence of opaque AI systems that may misunderstand or misrepresent what their brand stands for. In this main stage panel, chief marketing officers and senior communications leaders share how they are rethinking brand, content, PR, and digital experience so their organizations show up as clear, trustworthy entities that AI can confidently recommend. And they will share what they are doing when AI gets their brand wrong.
