Excitement and Anxiety in the Age of Gen AI

Generative AI both excites and induces anxiety. 

A 50/50 mix, that might swing 100% one way or the other, depending on the latest breakthrough model or method. 

AI creates the opportunity to finally deliver the original promise of digital advertising: an experience that is highly personalized and conversational – no less than the consumer experience we’ve always imagined. 

But it also brings into question the role, responsibilities and commercial model of our industry. 

Wesley ter Haar, visionary entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Media.Monks, leads a global creative production powerhouse known for its innovative approach to content creation. 

He asks – and answers - the question: 

What does a creative services set-up look like in the age of cloud and compute?

LA Creative Summit 2024: Embracing ‘The Power of Change’
Four Hosts of the Four Events Reveal Key Takeaways

Unmissable!

We bring together the hosts of the four co-located events: Creative Operations, DesignOps, Photo Studio Operations, and Creative Production to delve into the profound impacts of change on the creative landscape.

This end-of-day gathering transcends the ordinary. The chairs share insights, strategies and take-home messages that have impressed them most (and they are not easily impressed). 

• Discover the trends reshaping the creative landscape
• Hear about the breakthrough technologies that are propelling innovation
• Learn what are the new and emerging challenges that confront modern creative output and how they can be overcome

This panel goes beyond assertion. It analyses, it evaluates, and it interacts with you (the most important participants in the session).

The panel covers all four events.  Bring your burning questions, your opinions, and your expertise. 

Panel members will answer all questions and respond to all opinions. A dynamic exchange is planned – fast-moving, rapid-fire ‘popcorn’ style - but always rooted in ‘knowledge in practice’ and ‘on-the-job’ experience.

A great opportunity to engage with some of the leading practitioners in the industry and be part of the conversation that defines ‘The Power of Change’ in the world of creativity.
