Rewriting the Rules of Marketing — Uni3, Gothenburg, March 2026
Marketing is being rebuilt in real time. The brands that will lead in the next decade will be the ones that cut through complexity, craft clarity, and create stories that outlast the moment.
On March 16th-17th, 2026, THNK MARKETING LEADERSHIP brings together the minds reshaping industries, culture, and customer engagement. Headlined by Ken Segall — the creative force who helped turn Apple into one of the most iconic brands in history — this is where clarity meets impact, and where leaders come to rewrite their own playbook for success.
MEET THE SPEAKERS - AGENDA - ADMISSION - PARTNERSHIP - MAP
In Scandinavia, consumers expect authenticity, sustainability, and innovation — and they reject anything that feels like “marketing.” This is the complexity paradox: the sharper the audience, the sharper the need for simplicity. Most brands stumble. The ones who master it own the market.
Join us for two days that will transform how you think, design, and lead marketing—in the world’s most sophisticated market.
On March 16th-17th, 2026, at Uni3 in Gothenburg, THNK MARKETING LEADERSHIP gathers some of the most influential voices in global marketing and innovation.
You’ll meet Ken Segall, the creative force who helped turn Apple into one of the most iconic brands in history through the power of simplicity; Dr. Bowman Heiden, Executive Director, Tusher Strategic Initiative (TSI), Berkeley Haas; Kris Granger, a Fortune 500 Digital Strategy Leader; Ina Gavazova, Creative Director at Kashu; Karla Soler Riba, Executive Director of the Dynamic Competition Initiative; Dr. Kostas Stylidis, CEO, Intended Future; and Benjamin Talin, Founder & CEO, MoreThanDigital.
Together, they’ll share the strategies and methodologies that have transformed struggling companies into market leaders — giving you tools and perspectives to shape the future of your own brand.

Why THNK MACHINE
THNK MACHINE was born after two decades of speaking on stages worldwide. The speaker industry had become transactional — valuing charisma over substance. The pandemic proved the old model was broken. We built something different — more thoughtful, more human.
We work with nothing but exceptional thought leaders that we know and trust personally. Every engagement is crafted for impact and implementation, ensuring ideas don’t just inspire, but stick.
