AI Only Matters When it Creates 
a Better Business Outcome

Can it help you make money, improve the customer experience, or create something that wasn't possible before?

That's the conversation at Automate & Elevate 2026, a free 90-minute online summit for promo, print, and apparel.

We're digging into what's working, what's changing, and what's worth trying next.

Making the 2026 Summit Possible:

How Do You Earn Attention 
in a World of Sameness?  

Sometimes the best sales tool isn't a sales tool at all.

Thirty-five years ago, Rod Brown needed a way to get noticed when every distributor was selling the same products, making the same promises, and competing on price.

His solution started with a coffee mug. But the bigger lesson is about something every salesperson is still fighting for today:

Attention.

Presented in Partnership with:

What If You Could Just Tell the 
Product What You Want?  

What if customizing a product eventually becomes as simple as describing what you want?

Angelo Coletta, CEO of Zakeke, envisions a future with less clicking, fewer menus, and much more conversation.

And that could change more than how customers buy. It could change what we can make.

Are We Creating Impressions… 
or Creating Memories?  

We spend a lot of time measuring how many people a brand can reach.

But what makes someone actually remember it?

Jodie Schillinger of Maple Ridge Farms joins Jay Busselle and Lauren Esser to explore what food, hospitality, cafe culture, and branded merch can teach us about turning an interaction into a memory people want to carry forward.
