Influencer marketing still runs on the same fundamentals it always has: authenticity outperforms reach, and results compound over time. What's changed is how fast marketers can act on those fundamentals.

Today, autonomous technology can handle much of the operational work, from discovery and vetting to outreach, campaign management, and reporting. But human judgment remains essential for shaping strategy, creative direction, and relationships.

In this session, Cara Buscaglia joins Vivien Garnès, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Upfluence, to unpack how AI-assisted discovery and automation are changing what an influencer program can look like day to day.
