Topics

What we speak about.

Every talk draws on work we’ve done inside agencies. We fit the depth to the room, from small-agency owners to enterprise marketing teams.

Where AI fits in your agency roadmap

Delivering today’s services faster is where every agency starts. The bigger gain is the work AI lets you offer that you couldn’t before. Owners leave knowing the one AI priority that matters most for their business.

Teri Sun

Rebuilding a delivery workflow

How one agency’s monthly client reporting went from three weeks of assembly to a draft in days, and how to decide which calls a system is never allowed to make.

Matt Cyr & Teri Sun

The cost of disconnected AI

When everyone picks their own tools, nothing one team learns reaches the rest of the agency. What a shared AI foundation looks like, and how to find where the gaps cost you most.

Matt Cyr

Build, buy or hire: your AI stack

Where to start, when to scale with a bigger team or a platform, and how to keep AI accurate as models change: feedback loops, the right model for each task, and testing before you switch.

Teri Sun

AI agents and skills, built live

What an agent is, why most agent plans stall, and a working build on screen that attendees can copy for their own agency.
