Forget panels. Forget lectures. This is an active, “roll-up-your-sleeves” workshop designed for peer-to-peer exchange. Alongside your peers, you’ll rotate through stations that unpack real AI moments from your 2025 workflow, like when you: Discovered a shortcut that unexpectedly saved a deadline Cracked a barrier to get better results from AI Found a new use case that helped you level up your work Had a candid conversation with a client or teammate about AI-powered output Together, we’ll spot the patterns, name the gaps, and get clear on what our community needs to learn in 2026. Then we flip into co-design mode. You’ll share ideas, vote with the rest of the room, and help shape the first themes for the 2026 Marketing & Creatives Cohort.
