The conference for grown-up AI consultancies
Most businesses can plan a year ahead. If you sell AI, the tools change every few months, and what clients ask for changes with them.
So the usual questions get harder. How much of the work is strategy and how much is building? Who should be on the payroll? What can you promise a client when you don’t know what next quarter’s tools will do?
Hotbots is half a day with other people running AI consultancies, comparing notes on how they sell, deliver, hire and plan. Four talks, then private roundtables and case studies. Bring the real numbers. What’s said in the room stays in the room.
People who run AI consultancies
- Founders and leaders of AI consultancies and automation businesses.
- Roughly £500k or more in revenue.
- Selling to clients, not just experimenting.
The room only works if everyone is dealing with broadly the same problems, so we keep it to people at a similar stage.
Four talks
Each talk covers one part of running a consultancy that won’t sit still.
Balancing strategy work with hands-on building, and what clients will pay for each.
Structuring delivery as freelance, employed or a mix, and when that changes.
Hiring and growing people who can build, not just advise.
Planning, pricing and committing to clients when the tools change every few months.
Speakers, running order and times to be confirmed.
