FCS Returns To Charlotte For Cocktails With Content
The FCS is returning to Charlotte—and to The Mint Museum Uptown—for an AI-focused Cocktails with Content panel discussion on Wednesday, August 26.
Artificial intelligence has quickly moved from an emerging marketing technology to an increasingly important part of the financial marketer’s toolkit. Yet the most consequential questions are no longer simply about what AI can do. Marketing leaders must determine where it can provide genuine value, how it should be integrated into existing workflows, and where human judgment remains essential.
Our panel will bring together three senior marketers representing distinct areas of financial services:
- Emily Edwards, Chief Digital and Marketing Officer, Allegacy Financial
- Greg Campion, CFA, Managing Director, Marketing, Barings
- Darcy Schlakman, Senior Director, Content Marketing – Content Strategy, Ameriprise Financial
Their discussion will explore how financial marketing teams are putting AI to work across content development, customer engagement, personalization, and audience insights. The panelists will examine how marketers are balancing speed and efficiency with quality, compliance, and the trust that financial brands depend on. They’ll also share practical lessons on what’s delivering real value today, what remains unproven, and how their teams are preparing for what’s next.
In gratitude to our panelists, the FCS will donate $1,000 to a children’s charity of their choice.

Join us for timely content, cocktails, and the opportunity to reconnect with Charlotte’s financial marketing community.
