Expert Name - To be announced soonHot topic and speaker to be announced soon--🤝 3:10pm – Short Break & Peer DiscussionPause, recharge and reflect on the insights so far.--🗣️ 3:35pm – 3 x Inspiring Sessions...4. - Former Chief Executive Partner at IMA"Growth ≠ Headcount – winning agencies won’t necessarily be the biggest, they’ll be the ones doing more with the people they have."For years, agency growth has been measured by headcount. More clients meant more hires, bigger teams and more complexity. But the world has changed. Clients expect more while paying less, AI is reshaping how work gets done, and the agencies that thrive in the next decade won’t necessarily be the biggest. They’ll be the ones that can achieve more with the people they already have. Drawing on her experience scaling IMA through rapid growth and a merger that doubled the business to 400 people, Nickii will challenge the traditional “hire to grow” mindset and share why the future belongs to leaner, more capable and more strategically structured teams. The question for agency leaders is no longer “How do we grow the team?” but “How do we grow what the team can achieve?”5. - Managing Director at AND Digital"Leading with authenticity, humanity and clarity and why this matters now more than ever"We are into the Agentic era where nobody knows exactly what the impact on their role and skills will be. More uncertainty for us all after the last 6 volatile years! It’s also exciting, an opportunity to carve a new path, think differently, learn new things but…It is still scary. In agencies our people remain our greatest assets so now more than ever, we need to show up in a way that supports them on this journey, builds trust and encourages transparency and collaboration. In this talk, Zoe will address why these values have always been the foundation of how she leads, why they matter and why now more than ever, to succeed alongside AI, leadership underpinned by authenticity, humanity and clear direction is crucial.6. - AI Transformation Director at Ogilvy"Hype to Human-Centred AI Transformation: How creative campaigns, culture, and mindset shifts creates real change."Understand why AI transformation succeeds only when organisations prioritise human behaviour, culture, and mindset shifts—not just technology adoption.How Ogilvy used creative campaigns to transform their workforce to an AI powered team.How they turned internal expertise into scalable, repeatable products that strengthen brand distinctiveness rather than erode it.How they blend behavioral science, storytelling, and systems thinking to drive real adoption and lasting, human‑centred change.🚀 4:40pm – Wrap Up & Next StepsNote down your actions and continue the conversations.🍻 5:30pm - Pub Social (recommended but optional)For those keen to keep chatting, we’ll move to The Refinery Bar, just steps away.--💡 A High-Impact Afternoon for Agency LeadersAn afternoon designed to fit neatly into your busy schedule.
