It’s only been a few months since our last event, and already we’ve seen AI make unprecedented leaps and bounds:

  • After four iterations, ChatGPT has very nearly been replaced.
  • HeyGen has managed to replicate our faces and voices.
  • Some agencies are crafting their own SaaS products.
  • Others are creating dedicated teams to stay ahead of the AI curve.

While most are viewing these developments through a positive lens, others are, quite rightly, scared. 

IP law doesn’t cover AI-generated content, and clients are pausing projects to see if they can create the same work in-house with AI tools (and some come crawling back). AI tech may well shake up the traditional agency structure as we know it – and remove it completely. 

But alas, despite these worries there are still opportunities for agencies to grow and make their lives easier through automation and a diverse range of AI models.

Our aim for this event is to understand both sides and, hopefully, you’ll walk away with a little more confidence in your agency’s future.

Who you’ll hear from 🎤

🤖 We’ll be releasing the full line-up on Friday 10th May – two months before the event

Meet agencies who are using AI to evolve and succeed

The Robots Are Coming is an afternoon that will help you get inspired, and meet other people that you can learn from. It’s aimed at agency leaders and their leadership teams – but anybody can come. It’s a blend of interactive talks and group discussion.

  • We dot you around the venue so you can interact – and we mix up the groups so you meet different people.
  • We poll you before the event to see what you want to talk about.
  • We make sure all the talks are original and interesting. We facilitate questions and reflections throughout.

The Robots Are Coming – FAQs 🤖

Q: What actually happens on the day?

We start the event at 9.30am, so try to arrive by 9.15am.

The afternoon’s format is pretty simple: you will spend some time hearing from guests with interesting stories that you can learn from, and you will also spend some time in small groups discussing your journey with like-minded agency leaders.

The event is hosted by an Agency Hackers facilitator who makes sure that everybody with something interesting to say gets heard. (We poll attendees before the event, so we know who to ‘pick on’ on the day.)

We will serve tea, coffee and sweet things to keep you going, but please eat a sandwich before you arrive. The schedule doesn’t leave us time to serve lunch, unfortunately.

Q: Who will I hear from? Who are the speakers?

The people you’ll hear from are all agency leaders with interesting stories to tell about using AI in their processes workflows.

We also decide who to spotlight based on the information we capture in the weeks before. (Look out for our emails!)

We will publish the line-up a few weeks before, but mostly we hope that you will trust us to select interesting folk from our audience. We find that the people who choose to attend our events are overwhelmingly on fascinating journeys that will resonate with you.

Also, the ‘talks’ aren’t really linear presentations. They’re more like structured case studies, with lots of questions and reflections from the audience.

You could potentially call them ‘fireside chats’, but these are not rambling cosy conversations. They are planned and structured . We put a lot of work into researching our guests, out of respect for your time.

Q: Who can attend?

This event is for anybody in your agency who cares about AI and processes.

The event is mostly pitched at agency founders and their operations teams, but anybody can attend if you think it looks up your street.
