CTRL + SHIFT LIVE: The intelligent revenue engine – from siloed automation to coordinated growth
Over the past few years, many organisations have made significant investments in marketing, sales and technology. Processes have been refined, tooling has expanded, and data now plays an increasingly central role in decision-making. Yet gaining real control over growth remains a challenge. Not because too little is happening, but because it doesn’t always come together. Teams operate from different perspectives, systems don’t integrate seamlessly, and insights don’t automatically translate into stronger commercial decisions. That’s where the real challenge lies.

During this event, we’ll show you how to move from fragmentation to alignment. How to connect marketing, sales, service and technology into a single intelligent revenue enging. Where data, processes and AI reinforce one another and drive predictable growth. With keynote speaker Annemarie van Gaal, you’ll also gain a clear and practical perspective on entrepreneurship and growth in a constantly evolving market.
Moving from isolated improvements to sustainable growth requires more than better tools or additional dashboards. It calls for alignment across data, processes and decision-making. Throughout the afternoon, we’ll guide you through three essential building blocks:
Commercial leadership that delivers: How to ensure marketing and sales work from the same insights, and how to steer performance using metrics that genuinely reflect growth, such as pipeline velocity and reliable lead scoring.
AI as an accelerator, not an end in itself: What AI can actually mean for your commercial process. From predictive models to smart automation, without it becoming complex or isolated, and always linked to concrete business value.
Technology that evolves with your organisation: How to connect systems logically and make scalable choices, so that technology supports your growth rather than holding it back.
By the end of the afternoon, you’ll leave not just with inspiration, but with clear direction:
A better understanding of where the greatest opportunities lie within your commercial ecosystem
Insight into how to better align marketing, sales and service
Practical examples of AI applications that deliver immediate value
The ability to make more informed decisions around tooling and architecture
Concrete starting points to make growth more predictable
Register now and discover how to move from isolated improvements to an intelligent revenue engine.

Do you work in an organisation where commercial growth is a priority, but where connecting teams, data and systems isn’t yet second nature? Then this event will be highly relevant for you.
It’s designed for professionals who are responsible for growth, or who directly influence it. From leaders in marketing, sales, service and IT to senior specialists working daily with processes, tools and data. Particularly within larger organisations (200+ employees), where multiple teams, systems and processes intersect, there is a growing need for greater alignment. Not just another optimisation, but a way of working where everything fits together and contributes directly to growth.
