On: "What is the best country to visit in 2026 if I am a AI marketer"
Top pick
United States (San Francisco & New York)
The United States is the definitive destination for an AI marketer, driving $285.9B in private AI investment and home to nearly 2,000 newly funded AI startups. Visiting the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City connects you directly with the frontier martech platforms, agentic ad agencies, and major brand leaders shaping modern workflows. No other nation matches this concentration of tooling.

United Kingdom (London), Europe's leading AI hub with excellent readiness ratings and top-tier global brand headquarters.

United Arab Emirates (Dubai), providing a glimpse into aggressive government-backed AI integration and emerging Middle Eastern adtech.

In Europe? And your evidence
If you are looking specifically within Europe, the United Kingdom—specifically London—is the undisputed top choice.
My evidence rests on two pillars: formal market rankings and commercial tooling adoption. According to BCG’s 2026 AI Maturity Matrix, the UK ranks as Europe's leading AI power and sits in the top tier globally for AI readiness. More importantly for an AI marketer, London remains the commercial agency capital of Europe, housing global holding giants like WPP and international media networks. While hubs like Paris boast impressive foundational AI research labs, London is where commercial AI marketing budgets, agentic campaign workflows, and brand enterprise partnerships are actively being deployed at scale.
