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. Geert opens with three questions about your own next step, then three hands-on workshops answer them: choose the bigger problem you want to help solve for a real stakeholder, find the constraint in one of your own accounts after watching Bob and Miles diagnose a real one live, and spec the system that keeps the fix running without you. Everything lands on one page, so you fly home with a first move that has a date.

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 minThe AI-first shiftKeynote
Miles McNair

Miles McNair

Two shifts at the same time: Google is simplifying account execution, and AI agents are commoditizing it. Miles shows what that does to the value of execution, the leverage waiting on the other side, and what an AI-first Google Ads specialist actually does: a new identity, a new tool stack, a new skill set. We are still early. The next 48 hours are 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 dark side of working AI-firstKeynote
Miles McNair

Miles McNair

Six months of working AI-first, told honestly. AI amplifies whatever you already are, the good and the bad. Miles names the four pitfalls he ran into, from decaying expertise and slipping standards to optimizing your own fee away, and shows how to prevent each one. The rule that survives: delegate execution, never thinking or judgment.

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 makes it personal: what the shift means for your role, the bigger problem you want to own, and the constraint standing between you and it. You leave with your next role on one page and a first move with a date.

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.

10:0060 minOwn a bigger problemWorkshop
Bob MeijerMiles McNair

Bob Meijer · Miles McNair

Geert hands you three questions. Bob and Miles help you answer all three for your own work: choose a real stakeholder, identify the next bigger problem worth exploring, and create a practical test that turns direction into action. Built for freelancers, agency specialists, in-house marketers and team leads.

11:0015 minBreak
11:1560 minFind the constraintWorkshop
Bob MeijerMiles McNair

Bob Meijer · Miles McNair

Watch the method work, then run it yourself. Bob and Miles take one real, anonymized account and diagnose it live from stage: the business goal turned into numbers, and the single constraint that actually blocks growth. Then, in the same session, you walk one of your own accounts the same way. You leave with a constraint hypothesis backed by evidence, the proof you will build in 90 days, and a first move with a date.

12:1515 minBreak
12:3040 minSystemize the fixWorkshop
Alfred Simon

Alfred Simon

The fix you just found has to keep running without you. Alfred peels back his own morning monitoring system through five questions: what it needs to see, what it must be able to do, the mistake it must never make, who runs and reads it, and where every run lands. No code, plain files. Then you answer the same five questions for your own recurring work and commit to a first-run date. The build afterwards is transcription, not a software project.
