At its annual virtual user conference, “The ON24 Experience 2024,” ON24 reveals that marketers using AI are 7X more likely to exceed business goals

Today ON24 (NYSE: ONTF), a leading intelligent engagement platform for B2B sales and marketing, unveiled a new research report, “The State of AI in B2B Marketing in 2024,” that found AI is rapidly being adopted by sales and marketing organizations, with 95% already using or planning to use AI by the end of the year.
