In short:<\/strong> Igor Ivitskiy has been a recurring guest speaker at Board, a private business club for entrepreneurs, with appearances across the United States and Europe. The tour record runs from New York in 2024 to Alicante in August 2026 and is united by one subject: the AI era in advertising and marketing. This is an overview of the tour, not a reconstruction of individual talks, because no recordings are available.<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This overview brings together Board meetings held in cities across Europe and the United States between 2024 and 2026. The recurring guest speaker was Igor Ivitskiy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shared subject was the AI era in advertising and marketing<\/strong>. Rather than treating each date as an unrelated appearance, the tour places the same strategic question before entrepreneurial communities in different cities: what changes when AI becomes part of the advertising and marketing environment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One subject across entrepreneurial communities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Advertising and marketing are practical places to examine the AI shift because platform automation meets business choices there. The useful discussion is therefore broader than a catalogue of tools. It concerns the relationship between what an advertising system can automate and what an entrepreneur still has to define, judge and take responsibility for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board format matters to that framing. These are meetings of a private business club for entrepreneurs, so the subject sits in an operating context rather than a general technology showcase. Repeating it in different cities also makes the tour a continuing line of discussion, not a single date presented as a universal answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For comparison with Igor\u2019s wider speaking work, the Hero Conf 2025 appearance<\/a> and the eComTeam 2025 appearance<\/a> document two other settings in which advertising and marketing were discussed. They provide context, but they are not evidence of what was said at the Board meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I return to this subject<\/strong><\/p>

I keep the focus on the AI era in advertising and marketing because this is where entrepreneurs have to connect new platform capabilities with their own business judgement. A new city changes the setting, but it does not remove that responsibility.<\/p><\/section>\n\n\n\n

This overview deliberately stays at the strategic level. In a learning context, detailed methods should be assessed against a specific business and its own advertising data, not inferred from a list of appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
