In Association with the American Marketing Association Austin Chapter
What is this?
A high‑signal, creatively unhinged micro‑gathering for marketers who build, ship, and measure. Part workshop, part playground, all practical.
Real Conversation
No keynotes from people who haven't run a campaign since 2015. Just operators sharing what actually works.
Fast Experiments
Test ideas in real-time. Build prototypes. Break things safely. Learn by doing, not just talking.
Proof You Can Use
Walk away with frameworks, templates, and case studies you can present to your team on Monday.
You'll get:
Real conversation, fast experiments, and proof you can bring to your boss.
"Thank you so much and thank you for the wonderful event. I learned some things and made some great new contacts. Your hospitality shines through."

Why This Venue?
The Austonian Club offers the perfect blend of sophistication and creativity. With panoramic views of downtown Austin and an atmosphere that inspires innovation, it's the ideal setting for meaningful conversations and collaborative breakthroughs.
The Experience Stations
Six stations designed to spark ideas, test assumptions, and create connections that last beyond the event.
Hot Takes Wall
Write the take, or +1 someone else with a sticker. The spiciest ones get a live mini‑debate.
Outcome
One belief worth testing, not just tweeting.
Mystery Boxes
We seed the boxes with prompts from the community. You open one, you pitch a solution in two minutes, the room votes with stickers.
Outcome
One idea you can pilot next sprint.
Pitch the Worst Launch
You get a fake brand, you design the worst go‑to‑market imaginable. If the room can't stop talking about it, you win.
Outcome
A reminder that bad ideas die fast when the strategy is clear.
Worst AI Product Awards
Pre‑seed contest: submit your worst AI brand idea. The best entries get mocked up and displayed at the event.
Outcome
Comic relief, plus a sharper nose for nonsense in your own work.
CTA Cocktails
Drinks named after marketing sins and small wins. "The Attribution Nightmare" and "Conversion Rate Celebration" await.
Outcome
Courage, also hydration.
Quiet Quitting Zone
A calm corner for a reset, soft sounds, and non‑networking. Sometimes the best ideas come when you stop trying so hard.
Outcome
Five minutes of peace so you actually enjoy the rest.
Panel Judges
Expert judges who will evaluate the most creatively terrible go-to-market strategies

The Magic is in the Mix
Each experience is designed to complement the others. You'll rotate through stations, building on ideas and connections as you go. By the end, you'll have a toolkit of insights and a network of peers who actually get what you do.
Who Should Come?
This isn't for everyone. It's for marketers who build, ship, and measure. People who care more about results than recognition.
Heads of Marketing
Demand, Brand, Product Marketing leaders who own the strategy and need to prove ROI.
Senior Operators
The people who write briefs, ship campaigns, and obsess over the numbers.
Collaborative Leaders
People who can be useful to others, and want the same back. No ego, just results.
Capacity is small on purpose.
If you're in the room, you belong there. We curate for quality, not quantity. Every person adds value to every other person.
