If FEARLESS is the standard, then the people on stage have to meet it.
In our 15th year, the Malaysian Marketing Conference 2026 brings together a line-up of speakers and panellists who aren’t here to echo safe thinking — they’re here to challenge it.
Across the programme, attendees will hear directly from marketers, media operators, brand builders, and digital leaders who have chosen clarity over consensus and seen the consequences through.
Expect perspectives shaped by pressure, not polish. Case studies built on outcomes, not optics. And conversations that don’t dilute themselves to fit the room.
Meet the speakers who will be at the Malaysian Marketing Conference 2026:
Jamshed cuts through the AI noise and get brutally practical about what fearless marketing looks like now. He will explore how to use AI without losing brand truth, how to build trust while the data rules tighten, and how to turn speed and automation into real advantage.
In this high voltage session, VJ will take aim at “safe” creative and the beige work that passes for progress. He will unpack what fearless creative really demands in an AI-soaked world, with sharper truths, fewer committees and ideas with teeth.
The NexGen show, now into its second year, is a weekly podcast series dedicated to young stars in the industry who are below 30. In this invigorating panel discussion, Malaysian CMO of the Year Linda Hassan talks to young and bright minds from the series who are creating new pathways to excellence in the industry:
These popular 15-mins Q&A sessions are where random questions will be posed in a rapid-fire format to individual speakers, who will be bathed in one powerful spotlight against the darkness of the hall. Delegates are advised to keep their note pads ready, as this banter is both fleeting and fascinating. We’ll talk about “war stories”, career crashes, rants and about what they tried, what broke, what it cost, what moved, and more, featuring these industry veterans:
Hando is Mr Case Study. He is here to tell you B2B does not have to be boring. Hando will show where fearless B2B marketers really win, by turning complex offers into sharp stories, building trust that shortens sales cycles and making marketing pull its weight in pipeline.
Chris has always played the role of contrarian. In this riveting closing, he will talk about Team Dynamics, agency management, crisis playbooks and team operating models.
The 15th Malaysian Marketing Conference comes roaring back on 21st May, 2026 at KLGCC Convention Centre featuring real-world market experiences from 14 speakers across the industry. Get your tickets now at https://marketingmagazine.com.my/cmo/conference/2026
