All Your Projects Are Snowflakes, and That's Ok! Webinar

All Your Projects Are Snowflakes, and That's Ok! Webinar

Tuesday, February 11, 2025 •  12:00pm - 1:00pm ET

Before the pandemic, Robert Sfeir's focus was data and process optimization. The pandemic showed him the importance of understanding the customer and designing products for humans. Now, with the rise of AI, he believes that prioritizing culture and humanity, along with process and data, will be crucial.

Join him as he explores how to integrate people first into the data story to enhance customer success and avoid losing our humanity in the digital age. When scaling fully remote teams, consider how understanding people can drive both profit and positive impact.

Key takeaways:

  • The more you scale, the more you embrace AI, the deeper you need to anchor in the human aspect of your work.

  • Fear not that every project is a snowflake with its own processes. Embrace it.

THIS EVENT IS FREE FOR BUREAU MEMBERS!

What is AI & Your Agency like, and what will you get out of it? Here’s what a few previous attendees had to say…

“AI & Your Agency was everything and more. It was wonderful to get into a room with folks and talk all things AI - the good, the bad and the ugly. This is a technology that isn't going away so how do we better prepare ourselves? With this conference that's how. I feel better equipped to further integrate AI into our Agency's practice. I have a basis for when I speak on the topic both technically and contextually and have started putting some of what was discussed into practice. Thank you Bureau of Digital.”

— Milagros Montalvo, Director of Creative Operations at Backpack Interactive

"The Bureau does it again with their first "immersive" subject matter event. It was inspiring to learn of the AI tools that are useful NOW, and some that will become useful very soon. I was able to come back and share that information with my team and give them strategic direction for how these tools can benefit our agency, and ultimately, our clients."
