The Beet Retreat, one of advertising’s premiere executive gatherings for the vanguards of media, returns to the Troutbeck Estate Resort July 27-29, 2026.

The immersive three-day retreat will feature intimate, high-level conversations on the rapidly changing advertising landscape in a relaxing, countryside setting that encourages the sharing of business intelligence and the forging of new professional relationships.

Topics will include:

Agentic Media and the Automation Shift – How AI-driven buying is changing planning, optimization, and the role of human decision-making.

Commerce Media Everywhere – The expansion of commerce and retail media into a full-funnel, cross-channel force reshaping budgets and partnerships.

CTV’s Premium Reckoning – As dollars flood into CTV, the tension grows between maintaining a high-quality viewing experience and delivering the targeting, measurement, and outcomes marketers now expect.

Identity, Data and the Power Shift – Why first-party data is becoming the core currency, and how brands and platforms are rebuilding around it.

 
Outcomes Over Everything – The move from impressions to impact, as marketers demand measurable business results across every channel.

The Retreat is limited to 150 attendees.
