Your expertise. Amplified.

AI can handle more of the execution. You bring the knowledge and judgment to make it count. Learn how to combine your Google Ads expertise with practical AI systems to solve bigger problems and create more business value.

You’ll walk away with:

A direction for your next 90 days → a bigger problem worth exploring, the capability to develop, and a practical test to start with.

A decision for an account you manage → a first action or investigation, an owner, one number to watch, and a review date.

Put your expertise to work on the problem that matters next.

Day 1: The Future of Google Ads Management

Day 1: The Future of Google Ads Management

See how Google automation and AI agents change your work, and where your expertise makes the difference: business economics, measurement, conversion and creative. Go inside the systems and routines of an AI-first agency, learn where human judgment must stay in charge, and explore what clients pay for as execution becomes cheaper.

Day 2: Decide what matters next

Day 2: Decide what matters next

Turn the ideas into decisions for your own work. Choose a bigger problem worth exploring and learn how to find what holds an account back. Leave with a direction to test, a first action and a review date. Finish with community case studies and awards.

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. Day 1 changes how you see your role. Day 2 turns that into decisions for your own work. You fly home with a clear next move, a date in your calendar, and a check-in partner to hold you to it.

Day 1 · Thursday, September 24

The Future of Google Ads Management

How Google automation and AI agents change your work, where your expertise creates value, and what an AI-first specialist does in practice. Every session connects account execution to the wider business result.

10:0010 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.

10:1035 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.

10:4535 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.

11:2015 minBreak
11:3535 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.

12:1035 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 side-by-side comparisons, 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.

12:4590 minLunch
14:1535 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.

14:5035 minGoogle Ads just got fun again: a week inside an AI-first agencyKeynote
Cindy Ebner

Cindy Ebner

It’s Monday morning at a search marketing agency. Cindy takes you through a real AI-first week: account checks, campaign builds, tracking investigations and client work. She shares where AI saves the team time, the mistakes people had to catch, and the approval rules that keep experts in charge.

15:2515 minBreak
15:4035 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.

16:1535 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.

16:5070 minDrinks reception

Day 2 · Friday, September 25

Decide what matters next

Put Day 1 to work. Choose a bigger problem worth exploring and apply a diagnosis method to an account you manage. Leave with a direction to test, a first action and a review 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: knowing what to do and still not doing it. Three steps turn potential into performance: accept the gap, consciously shift your focus between the bigger picture and the one action that matters most, and take the next step. It ends with a decision: the stands or the arena.

10:0060 minOwn a bigger problemWorkshop
Bob Meijer

Bob Meijer

Geert hands you three questions. Bob helps 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 Meijer

Bob Meijer

Learn how to decide what most holds an account back from its business goal. Bob works through a real anonymized audit, then you apply the method to your own account. Weigh the evidence, choose a first action or an investigation, and record who owns it, one number to watch and a review date. A partner challenges your reasoning before you photograph your decision card.

You did not come to Lisbon for a to-do list. Two days ago you walked in as one kind of specialist; this morning you designed the next one. In the final session you put your new role into one sentence. Your new role starts Monday!
