When
Monday, October 5, 2026 from 4:00-6:00 PM ET
What you'll walk away with
This is a peer-led conversation – the most useful takeaways come from partners sharing what they're building, testing, and changing inside their own agencies.
Your foundation still counts
Drupal and WordPress expertise remains valuable – we’re expanding your options, not forcing a technology transition.
New paths, at your pace
Next.js and P1 offer practical ways to increase delivery leverage, improve portfolio operations, and create new client value – adopt what fits your business, skip what doesn’t.
The next agency model
It’s not just more production capacity. It’s judgment, vertical expertise, design systems, governance, modern delivery, and recurring services – working together.
Who should be in the room
This session is designed for agency owners, founders, and leaders responsible for strategy, delivery, growth, operations, or client outcomes. If you're attending with your agency, we encourage you to bring the leaders who are shaping how your business will build, operate, and grow in the AI era.
- Agency owner, founder, president, managing partner, or director (primary)
- COO or operations leader
- Head of strategy or client services
- Creative or design leader
- Technical director or practice lead
- Business development or partnerships leader

| 4:05 PM | 50 min | Partner Panel | Business-first conversation on the future of the agency in the age of AI: what to do differently to stand out, how to futureproof against macro headwinds, and how peers are benchmarking and adapting – including moves like replacing GA to meet HIPAA compliance.
