ABOUT
Cut The AI Crap & Make Better Work
This is not a theoretical discussion. Drawing on her experience training creative powerhouses like Coca-Cola and the US Television Academy, Jessie will lead a hands-on session designed to demystify AI workflows.
You’ll witness the entire creative process, from a spark of an idea to a fully-realised vision, and gain practical skills to extend your own creative possibilities. Plus, explore real-world client journeys and case studies, dissecting the successes and failures of agencies, studios, and individual creators who are embracing AI.
This is an unmissable opportunity for anyone dipping their toes into generative AI or looking to deepen their practice.
