Session Overview
Every agency is making decisions about how AI fits into its business. Some are integrating it deeply into operations and client work. Others are moving more deliberately or limiting its use altogether. Each approach carries meaningful legal and business implications.
This pre-conference session will examine how those choices affect client relationships, contractual obligations, confidentiality, IP rights, advertising risk, and long-term value. We will spend 15 minutes focusing on practical considerations founders and senior leaders should evaluate from a legal and business perspective as they determine the right strategy for their organizations, and then open the floor for 15 minutes of Q&A and discussion. This session will be offered at 9:30, 10:00, and 10:30 am.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the risks and opportunities on both sides and a practical framework for aligning their operations, client agreements, and growth strategy. Space is limited, so we encourage signing up in advance.
