Event Manifesto

Event curated by:

  • Niamh Kelly

    Agency Hackers

Every agency’s playing with AI, but few feel like they are really winning with it.

The early adopters are moving fast: redesigning processes, reinventing services, and training their teams to think in prompts. The rest are still stuck in the sandbox, wondering how to scale beyond ChatGPT.

At The Robots Are Coming, we’ll meet the agencies using AI to sharpen their strategy, boost output, and stay ahead – without losing what makes them distinct.

We’ll explore what “AI-first” really means for agency leadership, creativity, and culture – and how to build systems that don’t just save time, but drive transformation.

Because in this new era, every agency has the same tools – but only some will learn how to truly use them.

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.
