AI doesn’t replace expertise. It compounds it.

AI is taking over the work that used to fill your day. Audits. Optimization checks. Search term mining. Reporting. What took hours now takes minutes.

What’s left is the work that actually moves the needle: strategy, judgment, the bets only a senior specialist can make. AI doesn’t shrink the role of a specialist. It expands it and multiplies the output.

There’s an 18 to 24 month window before AI becomes the standard and is embedded into everyone’s workweek. The specialists who take the leap now will create a head start that compounds for years.

Two days in Lisbon is where you build it.

You’ll walk away with:

A new identity → operator of systems, not doer of tactics.

A new engine → the autonomous loop that runs your tactical work.

A new way to sell → priced for the value you create, not the hours you log.

AI is the opportunity. You have 18 months.

Day 1: The Future of Google Ads Management

Day 1: The Future of Google Ads Management

Day 1 shows you what is dying, what survives, and where you still make the difference: in judgment, profit, creative and the engine that runs the execution for you. It builds to the question the whole industry is circling: when the machine does the work, what do you charge for? You leave with a clear picture of what the AI-first specialist actually does day to day.

Day 2: Become the AI-First Specialist

Day 2: Become the AI-First Specialist

Day 1 shows, Day 2 does. You run a self-audit on your own workweek, then walk three hands-on workshops: delegate your first task, systemize it, and turn the time you got back into a better business. Everything lands in a workbook, so you fly home with a gameplan for Monday morning.

Beyond the Summit: Lisbon weekend

Beyond the Summit: Lisbon weekend

The experience doesn't stop at the venue. Spend the weekend in Lisbon with fellow PPC specialists: shared dinners, hidden spots, and the kind of conversations that turn into the relationships that compound for years.

From the organizers

Why we're doing this

Most PPC events are a row of good talks. You enjoy them, take notes, and change nothing. We built The PPC Summit differently: two days that form one story, where every session builds on the one before it. You don't fly home with notes. You fly home with a plan, a system started, and a room full of people who'll hold you to it.

The Future of Google Ads Management

What is dying, where advantage moved, and the role you play next. Every session widens the view from account execution to profitable growth.

09:3010 minWelcome & kick-offOpening
Sam Kellet

Sam Kellet

Doors open at 08:45. We set the stage for the next 48 hours: one story, from legacy specialist to AI-first Google Ads specialist.

09:4035 minBecome the AI-first Google Ads specialistKeynote
Miles McNair

Miles McNair

The wake-up call. The legacy specialist’s work is disappearing piece by piece, and those tactics are not coming back. Miles shows what an AI-first Google Ads specialist actually does, the evidence behind the 18-24 month window, and lays out the next 48 hours as your curriculum.

10:1535 minThe advantage movedKeynote
Bob Meijer

Bob Meijer

Google has industrialized account execution, so the next advantage increasingly comes from the inputs the machine amplifies. Bob shows why the account is only one part of the battlefield and how to find the constraint to profitable growth, wherever it lives.

10:5015 minBreak
11:0535 minThe algorithm needs a bossKeynote
Frederik Boysen

Frederik Boysen

AI executes better than any human, but even with perfect data Smart Bidding doesn’t understand your business. It optimizes to averages, funds losers with winners, and mislabels who is actually new. The specialist’s new role: directing the algorithm toward the outcome the business needs, verifying every result against backend truth, and planning the bidding around profit.

11:4035 minHow AI makes it easy to stand out as a brand humanKeynote
Danique Bras

Danique Bras

Many are still afraid AI is taking over. But the real threat is sameness, the endless stream of slick, interchangeable ads that AI makes so easy to produce. Danique shows how human, native creatives win as the feed fills up with average slop. Through real campaigns and a live teardown, you’ll walk away with a sharp filter for what’s replaceable and what actually stops the scroll, whether you run Social or Google Ads.

12:1590 minLunch
13:4535 minThe client codebaseKeynote
Alfred Simon

Alfred Simon

A client emails at 9:00: “Why is performance down?” By 9:05 the answer is drafted, the analysis is done and the proposed fix is waiting for your approval. Alfred opens up the engine that makes this possible, layer by layer, and shows you where to start building your own.

14:2035 minGoogle Ads just got fun again: a week inside an AI-first agencyKeynote
Cindy Ebner

Cindy Ebner

It’s 8am on a Monday. The accounts are checked, the first client reports drafted, all while the coffee’s still brewing. Cindy takes you inside a real AI-first week at a search marketing agency: where AI handles the repetitive grind, spots its own wrong turns before they cause damage, and knows exactly when to hand the wheel back to the experts.

14:5515 minBreak
15:1035 minThe objectionsKeynote
Miles McNair

Miles McNair

Everything you’re thinking right now, said out loud. Miles names the room’s biggest doubts about going AI-first and answers each one with receipts, including the real numbers from his own repositioning. You leave armed with the answers to your own clients’ objections too.

15:4535 minWhat do you charge for when the work is free?Day 1 finale
Mike Rhodes

Mike Rhodes

Every session today expands what the specialist can influence while routine execution becomes cheaper. The finale answers the question that’s left: when the machine does the execution, what do you charge for? Mike shows how trusted judgment becomes a system, and how broader responsibility creates greater value.

16:2070 minDrinks reception

Day 2 · Friday, September 25

Become the AI-First Specialist

Day 1 shows where advantage moved. Day 2 builds the specialist who can follow it. You audit your reach across the wider acquisition system, design the capabilities you need next, and leave with concrete moves for Monday.

09:3010 minDay 2 kick-offOpening
Sam Kellet

Sam Kellet

Yesterday you saw the future. Today you become it.

09:4020 minThe Pivot Point: How to turn potential into performanceKeynote
Geert Hidding

Geert Hidding

The switch-point from inspiration to action. Geert works the gap between who you are and who you could become, and why AI amplifies whatever is already there: clear thinking becomes better decisions, chaos becomes faster chaos. It ends with a decision: the stands or the arena.

10:0025 minThe self-auditWorking session
Bob Meijer

Bob Meijer

You audit accounts for a living. When did you last audit your ability to follow the real constraint? Map your week and capabilities across the wider acquisition system to see where you can act, where you depend on others, and where familiar work may be keeping you busy instead of useful.

10:2510 minBreak
10:3515 minA live self-auditWorking session
Miles McNair

Miles McNair

Miles runs the same audit on himself with real numbers: where his reach was narrow, what he stopped doing, what he built depth in, and what it bought him.

10:5035 minDesign your AI-first roleWorkshop
Bob MeijerMiles McNair

Bob Meijer · Miles McNair

You have mapped where your responsibility currently ends. Now design where it needs to expand: broad enough to trace constraints across the system, deep in Google Ads, and deliberately deeper in the adjacent capabilities that create the most impact.

11:2510 minBreak
11:3525 minYour AI stackWorkshop
Bob MeijerMiles McNair

Bob Meijer · Miles McNair

Close the gap between today’s role and the one you designed. Decide what requires new capability, what AI can help execute, and what needs a better collaboration or handoff. You leave with three concrete moves, each with a judgment check and a date.

12:0030 minPricing the new youWorkshop
Miles McNairBob Meijer

Miles McNair · Bob Meijer

Last night Mike asked what you charge for when routine execution is cheap. This morning makes the answer personal: broader value requires broader responsibility. Miles shows the repricing move with real numbers, then you write yours: one move, one client or employer, one date.
