Signature keynote
The Unfair Advantage Inside a company where people and AI work side by side, and how to build yours. Most leaders still use AI as a helper instead of putting it to work. Juan turned his marketing agency into an AI company and now runs it with a team of people and AI employees. On stage he pulls back the curtain on how they work together every day, explains in plain language what's possible right now, and makes the case for urgency: the companies that install an AI Business Operating System first gain an advantage competitors can't easily close.
