Knowing what’s possible with AI and knowing how to use it effectively are two very different things.
Join us for AI IRL (in real life), a series of informal, engaging discussions at small tables with AI & Marketing experts.
Including:
How to be cited in the AI engines.
How to make your internal systems more efficient, specifically for marketing teams
Do you need an AI agent? Or do you just need AI efficiency?
Creative discussion on AI in Art direction and design. Where can you use it without getting dinged in social engines? When shouldn’t you use it?
In small groups of just six or seven at a table, you get your opportunity to ask your specific questions, exchange ideas, and learn how other marketers are putting AI to work right now.
Come curious. Bring your questions. Leave with ideas you can use immediately. You can move from table to table through the morning. So, you don’t have to choose your topics now.
This is a friendly, safe environment where brilliant marketing comes in community. We are all learning together.
Less presentation. More conversation. More practical AI.
