We’ll open with a live stream panel discussion with leaders from Adobe, Tool of North America, HUSH and Athletics followed by a happy hour that far exceeds its 60-minute eponymous promise.

Big thanks to our partners at Adobe, Craft CMS and Framer for helping us make this happen.

Beyond the Prompt: How Agencies are Leveraging GenAI to Modernize Creative Workflows

The most innovative designers, creators and marketers are quickly moving beyond the hype and adopting new methods, workflows, and tools with GenAI as a major player in their creative ecosystems. In this panel discussion, we’ll chat with leaders from world-class digital, experience, and design studios about the state of Gen AI in their agencies, how they are navigating the transformation with their clients, recent AI-fueled projects, and the concrete and practical ways they are managing this change with their own teams.
