I’ve been talking with marketers about AI nearly every day this year—and one theme keeps coming up: "I know it’s important, but I don’t know where to start."
That’s why I’m excited to hit the road this spring to deliver three talks sharing how AI and AI agents can help marketers—from healthcare systems to creative agencies—work smarter, faster, and more effectively.
Healthcare Marketing & Physician Strategies Summit (HMPS 2025)April 29 – May 2 | Orlando, FL.
I’m fortunate to be presenting two sessions at HMPS this year:
In this session, I’ll join fellow healthcare marketing leaders Chris Boyer, Chris Hemphill and Jeremy Rogers to explore AI’s impact across the healthcare ecosystem—with a special focus on marketing. We’ll look at real-world use cases, risks and governance considerations, and how healthcare organizations can build AI strategies that align with both brand and mission.
Check out my post on how healthcare marketers can use AI to do more with less.
In the second session, Mary McPheat and I will do a deep dive into AI agents and do live demos of tools that healthcare marketers can use today to make their work more efficient, freeing them up for the more critical and strategic parts of their work:
We’ll cut through the AI agent hype and give attendees real things they do when they get back to their offices.

This session will include live demos and practical examples of how agencies are building AI agents to:
We'll also talk about how AI is driving big shifts in staffing, service models, and revenue strategies—and how agencies can evolve now to stay ahead.

Whether you’re marketing a hospital or growing a creative agency, AI is changing the expectations around speed, personalization, and output. But you don’t need to overhaul everything or wait for the next platform release to get started.
Across these sessions, I’ll be sharing the same core idea:
AI can help marketers do better work, faster—and it's more accessible than you think.
