A working day on getting AI past the pilot.

One day, 300 peers, and a room full of operators who have actually shipped. Practical sessions on the AI programmes you already run, outreach, enrichment, automation, internal tooling, and the operating model that gets them onto the P&L. Built for the GTM and technology leaders who own the number, not for vendors.

01 · The premise

Done right, AI makes you faster, better, stronger.

The prize is real. Faster work, sharper decisions, a business that compounds. But most never reach it, and the few who do design for two things at once: the machine, and the people who have to live with it. Get one without the other and the gains don't hold.

01

The upside

Faster, better, stronger. AI that reaches production speeds the work, sharpens the calls, and compounds into an edge a competitor can't copy. That is the upside, and it is real.

02

The human side

Keep the learning ground. Automate every first-pass task and you save this year but stop building next year's seniors. The strongest businesses design for the future without burning the ground where judgement is learned.

02 · The shift

The work itself is changing.

For the industries that billed on hours, agencies, law firms, professional services, the model is coming apart. Clients buy outcomes now, and increasingly consumption: what they use, not the team that made it. The cost of producing the work has fallen, so the price of selling it is following.

Growth used to mean adding headcount. It increasingly means adding an agentic workforce, capacity without people, and that rewrites the economics of the whole business: margin, pricing, what you sell and how you charge for it. The market will reprice this work with or without you. This day is for the leaders who would rather do it deliberately.

03 · Why attend

Three reasons to be in the room.

Operators who've shipped, not vendors selling

Every speaker has put AI into production, in outreach, enrichment, automation and internal tooling, and can show the line it moved, not a roadmap slide.

Built for the people who own the number

GTM and technology leaders carrying revenue and delivery, in rooms small enough to actually talk. No velvet rope.

Leave with an operating model, not a reading list

A tight programme built to send you home able to get one stalled AI initiative to production, not a notebook of inspiration that's shelved by Wednesday.
