NEW YORK · AI & OPS ROADSHOW · MAR 19
AI & Ops in New York.
Less busywork. More forward motion.
New York
We’re spending a week in New York, bringing local brand and agency founders, operators, and marketers together for Acquisition, Retention, and AI & Ops. You’re looking at AI & Ops. Come for this day, or add another topic to your week. Each show has its own experts and roundtables. Join one show for $100, or get all three that week for $200 with the city bundle.
Fresh thinking.
A practical plan.
Turn AI and operations ideas into a plan your team can actually use. Spend a focused day identifying better workflows, evaluating where AI fits, and mapping practical improvements for 2027. Join your peers in New York for expert talks, practical working sessions, and real conversations, all in one focused day.
There’s no shortage of new tools. The harder question is where they help your business. Start with the work, find the friction, and build a practical plan for what to improve.
These are the themes guiding the workshop. Individual sessions will be announced with the expert lineup.
- 01
Start with the bottleneck.
Map where work gets stuck, repeated, or handed off poorly. Discuss which problems need a better process before deciding whether they need another tool.
- 02
Put AI to useful work.
Explore practical uses across research, content, customer support, and day-to-day operations. Compare where AI can help and where human judgment still matters.
- 03
Build a workflow you trust.
Think through inputs, review steps, ownership, and data handling. Discuss how to introduce automation with checks that keep your team in control.
- 04
Make the next test count.
Choose a manageable pilot, define what success looks like, and decide how to evaluate it. Leave with next steps your team can understand and act on.
Less sitting back.
More figuring it out.
Join 100–125 brand and agency founders, operators, and marketers for a day focused on AI and operations. Hear 3–4 expert talks, then discuss how the ideas apply to your business in moderated small-group roundtables.
