NYC agency people, freelancers, and consultants: come upstate on Thursday, November 19. Peter Kang (AgencyHabits) and I are hosting the Hudson Valley Agency Growth Forum at Senate Garage in Kingston, NY, about two hours up the Hudson from the city. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to get out of town, this is a good one: a Thursday night of real talk about growing a services business, then a long weekend in the Hudson Valley if you want to stretch it out. It’s for anyone building a client business: agency owners and operators, freelancers, fractional folks, consultants, and contractors trying to turn solo work into something bigger. Here’s the night: Growth Playbook Panel. Three operators walk through where their new clients come from, how they market themselves, and how they turn existing accounts into bigger ones. Real numbers, real misses, what they’d do differently. Q&A after. Roundtables. Pick a table and dig in with peers:
New business: finding and closing the right clients
Account growth: expanding scope and keeping clients longer
Operations: keeping things running as new work comes in
A lot of us running shops up here came from the city, so expect a room with NYC agency DNA and a lot less noise. Drinks and refreshments are on us. We had over 50 people at our last event, so don’t wait. Thursday, November 19, Kingston, NY. Grab a spot: luma.com/… If you’re thinking about making the trip, DM me. Happy to share tips on getting here and where to stay.
Hey everyone, sharing an upcoming AI meetup we’re hosting for agency owners and operators in the New York / Hudson Valley area. This is for people who are already using AI in real client work and operations and want to go deeper with it alongside other agency folks figuring this stuff out in real time. We’ll have a few agency operators walking through their actual AI stacks and workflows, showing how they’re using AI across client delivery, new business, internal ops, and team workflows. Then we’ll break into smaller roundtable discussions around topics like growth, operations, and hiring. The goal is to have practical conversations with people who are beyond the “AI is interesting” phase and are actively building it into how their agencies run. Drinks + refreshments included. Would love to see some RevGenius folks there: https://luma.com/rqkrv2j9
