    Agency Hackers

Running an agency in this “K-Shaped” economy isn’t straightforward

Clients are asking new questions, expecting more, and assuming that AI is already changing how your agency works. But the truth is that most of us are trying to decide what’s real, what’s just hype, and how we should respond.

Overall, there’s a growing sense amongst independent agencies that something needs to change – not just the tools we use, but how our agencies operate day-to-day.

One thing is clear – hiring more people to grow isn’t as viable as it used to be!.

So we’re gathering in New York to try to answer the question: what does a more efficient, more profitable, AI-enabled agency actually look like operationally? And more importantly – how are other agencies already starting to make that shift?

Do I need to be an Agency Hackers member to attend?

No – anyone running or leading an agency is welcome. Members usually get discounted tickets, but you don’t have to be a member to join us.

Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?

Yes! If you can’t make it, you can transfer your ticket to another person in your agency – or another agency leader – at any time. Just let us know who’s coming in your place.

What’s your refund policy?

We don’t offer refunds, but you can transfer your ticket to another event or colleague if you give us notice.

Do you offer group discounts?

Sometimes – especially if you’re bringing your team. Drop us a message and we’ll see what we can do.

Are the sessions recorded?

Currently, we don’t record the content. The reason is, people often share confidential matters they don’t want to leave the room.

Is there a dress code?

We’re a relaxed crowd. Think “smart casual” or “agency chic”. Just wear whatever you feel comfortable in when you meet new people.
