AI in Communications Boot Camp Miami

8-9 October, Miami

About the Event

After Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles, we are bringing the AI in Communications Boot Camp to Miami.

AI is no longer something communications teams can explore at their own pace. It is already changing how performance is measured, how content is produced, and how decisions are made.

Those who figure this out now will lead. Those who don’t will fall behind fast.

This Boot Camp is designed to make sure you are in the first group.

Why This Boot Camp

You are not learning from theorists.

You are learning directly from leaders implementing AI inside organizations like Amazon, Stanford, DHL, Wikimedia, and Columbia University.

These are environments where the stakes are high, the scale is complex, and mistakes are not an option.

You will see exactly what they are doing, what worked, what failed, and what you should implement in your own role.

What You Will Learn

This is a practical, implementation-focused training built around how communications teams actually work.

You will learn how to:

  • Move from AI experimentation to real, scalable implementation
  • Build a clear AI strategy aligned with business priorities and reputation risk
  • Go from brief to strong first draft in minutes using structured AI workflows
  • Automate content production, approvals, and distribution without losing control
  • Scale high-impact storytelling across channels while protecting brand integrity
  • Put the right guardrails in place to ensure accuracy, trust, and accountability

No theory. No generic demos. No vendor pitches.
Only what works in practice.

Who This Is For

This Boot Camp is for communicators who are expected to deliver results with AI.

  • If leadership expects you to “figure out AI”
  • If your team is experimenting but not scaling
  • If you are responsible for strategy, reputation, or content at scale

This is for you.

What You Will Walk Away With

You will leave with a clear plan.

Not ideas. Not inspiration.

A practical roadmap, repeatable workflows, and the confidence to implement AI the moment you are back at your desk.

Group Discounts Available

If you are bringing your team, we offer group discounts so you can align faster, implement together, and create impact across your organization.

Secure Your Spot

This is a small, highly interactive Boot Camp designed for senior professionals.

If you need to implement AI this year, this is where you start.

Miami is next. Don’t miss it.

The AI Journey at Amazon: Transforming Communications Through Innovation

Go beyond the headlines and see what AI adoption actually looks like inside one of the world’s most complex organizations. In this session, Kelly A. Nantel shares how Amazon moved from early experimentation to real integration across communications, what worked, what failed, and what had to change along the way. You will gain a clear understanding of how to introduce AI into your own function, how to align teams around it, and how to move from isolated use cases to scalable impact. The session focuses on practical lessons you can apply immediately, helping you avoid common pitfalls, accelerate adoption, and make smarter decisions about where AI can truly strengthen your communications strategy.

Implementing AI in Communications: From Hype to Reality – Building a Scalable AI Strategy

Most organizations are experimenting with AI, but very few are using it in a way that delivers consistent, scalable value. This session shows you how to move beyond isolated use cases and build an AI strategy that actually works in a communications environment. You will learn how to identify where AI can drive real impact, align it with your organizational priorities, and put the right governance in place to protect accuracy, trust, and reputation. The focus is on creating a practical roadmap you can implement immediately, helping you scale what works, avoid common missteps, and turn AI from a series of experiments into a structured capability that strengthens both performance and credibility.

Responsible AI: Lessons from Wikipedia

As AI becomes embedded in how information is created and shared, the pressure on communicators to ensure accuracy, trust, and accountability is only increasing. In this session, Anusha Alikhan shares practical lessons from Wikipedia, one of the world’s most trusted and collaboratively built information platforms, and how these principles apply to AI in communications. You will learn how to approach AI responsibly, put the right guardrails in place, and balance speed with credibility in high stakes environments. The session focuses on what communicators need to do differently, giving you clear, actionable insights to reduce risk, strengthen trust, and ensure your use of AI supports, rather than undermines, your reputation.

Building a Human-Centered AI Communications Department: Balancing Innovation with Integrity

As AI becomes part of everyday communications work, the real challenge is not adoption but ensuring it strengthens human judgment, creativity, and trust rather than undermining them. This session shows you how to build and lead a communications function where AI enhances performance while clear ethical boundaries and human oversight remain in place. You will learn how to create the right culture around AI use, address concerns and resistance within teams, and equip communicators with the confidence to use AI responsibly and effectively. The focus is on practical leadership and implementation, giving you a clear framework to integrate AI in a way that protects your reputation, empowers your team, and keeps human value at the center of every decision.

Automating Communication Workflows End-to-End

Communicators are under constant pressure to deliver more content, faster, and with greater consistency, yet most workflows are still manual, fragmented, and difficult to scale. This session shows you how to redesign your communications processes using AI to automate repetitive tasks, streamline production, and improve quality across the entire workflow. You will learn how to move from disconnected tools to structured, end to end systems that support everything from content creation and approvals to distribution and performance tracking. The focus is on practical implementation, helping you identify where automation adds real value, maintain control and oversight, and build workflows that save time while increasing impact.

High-Impact Storytelling at Scale: Practical AI Workflows for Communicators

In a world where communicators are expected to deliver more content, faster and with greater precision, this session shows you how to use AI to scale high impact storytelling without sacrificing quality, judgment, or brand integrity. You will learn how to build a practical, repeatable workflow that takes you from idea to strong first draft in minutes, refine messaging for different audiences, and elevate your content through smarter editing and validation. The session focuses on real applications across press releases, internal communications, leadership messaging, and crisis response, helping you understand where AI adds value and where human oversight is critical. You will leave with a clear system you can apply immediately to save time, improve consistency, and deliver sharper, more strategic communication every day.

The Future of Communications: Redefining the Human Advantage in an AI-Driven World

AI is transforming communications faster than almost any other function, yet the demand for skilled communicators continues to grow. This session explores why, and what it means for the future of the profession. Drawing on real experience inside organizations, it will unpack two critical shifts reshaping communications today. The first is the unbundling of roles, where AI is taking over execution while human value moves to judgment, relationships, and decision making. The second is the shift from T-shaped to M-shaped expertise, where communicators are expected to operate across multiple domains, from strategy to technology to data. The session will bring these shifts to life through practical examples and real tools built and used in practice, showing how communicators can increase their impact, stay relevant, and strengthen their role in increasingly AI-driven organizations.
