CJU 2026

RapidCanvas is sponsoring CJU 2026, September 14–17 at The Fess Parker in Santa Barbara, CA, where Lisa Copland and Shatay Trigère will connect with advertisers, publishers, and agency leaders working out what AI actually changes about performance marketing.

CJU is CJ’s flagship annual conference, and this year marks its 25th. It brings together roughly 1,000 marketers from more than 300 companies for keynotes, mainstage sessions on where the industry is shifting, product demos, and Discovery Lab training. The program leans into creator partnerships, retail media, connected commerce, and how AI is reshaping day-to-day marketing workflows.

As partner programs get more complex and attribution gets harder, the teams we talk to are trying to turn campaign and partner data into decisions rather than reports. We would love to compare notes on where AI is delivering measurable ROI across performance marketing today, and where it is still just noise.

If you will be in Santa Barbara for the show, reach out to set up time with our team.
