We’ll explore how business systems, consistency, community, data, and a strong customer experience can help create a brand that is built to grow.

What if you could stop trying to keep up with AI and start actually using it to save time, grow your business, and create a competitive advantage?

That’s exactly what happens at the Business Growth AI Summit with Ford Saeks.

This isn't another AI conference where you sit through presentations, collect a notebook full of ideas, and wonder what to do when you get home.

The Business Growth AI Summit is a hands-on, two-day working experience designed to help entrepreneurs, executives, franchise leaders, sales and marketing professionals, consultants, and business owners put artificial intelligence to work in their businesses.

You don't just learn about AI. You build with it.

Attendees work directly with Ford Saeks to explore AI agents, projects, skills, workflows, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, AI automation, AI discoverability, and practical ways to eliminate busywork while increasing productivity and business growth.

You'll discover practical ways to use AI for:
AI agents and AI workflows
Business process automation
ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity
Building your own AI Co-Brain
Marketing and content creation
AI discoverability and Answer Engine Optimization
Sales and business growth
Research and strategic thinking

Creating more value without losing the human touch

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The AI Summit is designed for business owners, entrepreneurs, franchise executives, multi-unit operators, corporate leaders, department heads, sales and marketing leaders, consultants, professional speakers, experts, and professionals who want practical ways to integrate AI into their work.

You don't need to be a programmer or AI expert.
You need to be ready to implement.

READY TO MAKE AI YOUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE?

Starting a business takes courage. Scaling it takes systems, discipline, and a willingness to keep going when other people tell you it can't be done.

Dustin DiStefano, co-founder and COO of Franchise Operations at A Place at Home, helped take an idea that started with his childhood friend and build it into a franchise organization with more than 70 locations across the United States.

We'll talk about business scaling, the systems and habits that support sustainable growth, why meaningful sales activity has to be measured, and how customer experience, accountability, and financial discipline can shape the future of a growing organization.
