AM:PM The Agency Leadership Event


Hosted by Jenny Plant & Brett Harned
Monday Night Brewing - The Grove
670 Trabert Ave NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

29-30 September 2026

Overview

AM:PM is a new 1.5 day event for agency owners, account managers, project managers, and operations leaders who want to step back, rethink how their teams work together, and have honest conversations about growth, delivery, AI, communication, and the operational reality of modern agency life.


What you'll take back to your agency:

  • A diagnosis of where growth, client leadership and delivery are falling out of step

  • Clearer ownership across account management, project management and leadership

  • Practical approaches to scope, handoffs, client risk and growth opportunities

  • At least one AI-enabled workflow to test

  • The opportunity to work through real challenges in the leadership Q&A and peer discussions

  • A focused set of actions to take back to the team

Your ticket, which covers both 29th and 30th September 2026, includes
1.5 days of programming
