For leaders and the teams they bring · October 26–28, 2026 · Austin, Texas
A two-day working session in Austin for leaders and their teams. Move from knowing AI is important to using it where it drives the most value, and leave with a 90-day plan you built and know how to run.
Early bird pricing ends August 30th.
What a Seat Includes
In Austin, October 26-28, plus the optional Sunday welcome reception.
Your team builds it in the room, on your real strategy and your real numbers.
So the work continues after you fly home.
For the full two days.
The Problem
Ask a room of executives who has mandated AI and every hand goes up. Ask who personally uses it every day to make themselves more valuable, and almost none do. That gap is the whole problem, and it starts at the top.
You have started to see what AI can do. The people you lead have not, and closing that gap is sitting on you.
Faster emails and a smarter search box. Nobody was ever promoted for the quality of their emails, and the highest-value uses go untouched.
The plan is clear in the boardroom and blurry three levels below it, so everyone stays busy while the priorities that drive growth wait.
A year ago leaders knew they had not begun. Now most believe they have, which is a harder place to lead from than knowing nothing.
The Accelerator closes that gap in two days.
With your own leaders, on your own strategy.
Two full days in Austin, and you walk out aligned on one plan.
How the Two Days Work
Every block runs the same way. It is taught from stage, you apply it to your real numbers, then your team connects it to the plan. No panels, no buzzwords, no slides about the future of work.
Context, Role, Interview, Task. The move most people miss is the inversion. You have AI interview you, one question at a time, and it pulls context out of your head you would never have thought to hand it.
You are the thought leader. AI is your thought partner.
CRIT sharpens how you think. AITP aligns how your team decides, at the same table, in hours instead of months.
Your seat includes access through the end of 2026, so the work continues after Austin.
What actually happens
You walk in using AI to write emails. You walk out with your leadership team agreed on one plan. Here is the path between those two points.
Learn to Lead With AI
Strategy first, technology second. Taught from stage, applied to your real numbers, then connected to the plan.
Day 1 · Morning
Geoff teaches CRIT™ live, well past what is in the book, and you do it hands on keyboard on your own real priorities.
Walk in: using it like a smarter search box. Walk out: running real working sessions with it.
Day 1 · Afternoon
Find the 20% of your role driving most of your impact, and get a straight answer on agentic AI, including where an AI agent fits in your business and where it does not.
Walk in: wondering if AI replaces you. Walk out: knowing what makes you irreplaceable.
Align Your Team on One Plan
You apply Day 1's skills to the real work of running your business, with the people who make the decisions in the room.
Day 2 · Morning
Surface your team's collective intelligence, expose hidden assumptions, and reach better decisions without months of meetings and bureaucracy.
Walk in: using it like a smarter search box. Walk out: running real working sessions with it.
Day 2 · Afternoon
Translate long-term goals into a focused 90-day plan. Your team works through the priorities, tradeoffs, and commitments that move the business forward.
Walk in: using it like a smarter search box. Walk out: running real working sessions with it.
What You Take Home
This is not a conference you attend and forget. Everything here is built by you, in the room, on your real strategy.
Built by your team, connecting your three-year and one-year goals to the next 90 days.
The specific 20% of your work where AI creates the most value, including where an AI agent or assistant fits, so you leave knowing what to build and how.
The ability to run AI as a thought partner at the top 1%, which you keep and use every week.
Pressure-tested for an AI-driven world rather than assumed.
The point is not cutting costs. It is getting more of what matters out of the team you already have, by putting AI to work on the 20% that drives growth.
The Tools You Keep
CRIT™ sharpens how you think. AITP aligns how your team decides, together, in hours instead of months. Both come home with you, and your AITP access runs through the end of 2026.

The Same Work, Inside Their Companies
These leaders ran this method with Geoff inside their own organizations. Day 2 in Austin puts your team through the same alignment work, on your strategy.
6 Months → 2 Hours
“We collapsed 6 months into 2 hours, but with higher quality and trust.”
4 Months → 1 Day
“We did not just talk about changing the way we work. We just did it.”
3 Months → 1 Hour
“What we just did would have taken us 3 months. We did it in 1 hour.”
Who Should Attend
Three to five leaders is the sweet spot. Bring the people who make the decisions and you leave speaking the same language. Coming alone works too.
Bring three to five of your best, or your full executive team, and walk out aligned on one plan instead of one person explaining it back home.
Coming solo works. You do the full two days, build the skills on your own priorities, and leave knowing exactly who to bring next time.
Bring the leaders whose functions have to align, because strategy without alignment goes nowhere. Founder-led companies and enterprise business units both work here.
Is This Your Room
You set direction and make the hard calls. You have started with AI and want your team to catch up. You would rather move before your market does. 
You want a technical, hands-on-code bootcamp. You are looking for done-for-you consulting. You are not ready to do the work in the room. Not sure which side of that you are on? Talk with our team first and we will tell you honestly. We would rather you be in the right room than any room.
Reserve your seats
The biggest savings go to teams. Three or five leaders costs less per person than one, and your whole leadership team leaves aligned, not just one person explaining it back home.

Reserve Team SeatsThere is no outcome guarantee, and we would rather be honest about that than promise something we cannot control. What we can promise is this. If a leader cannot make it, another can take the seat. If you are unsure this is your room, talk with our team first and we will tell you plainly. Either way, you do not leave empty-handed. You leave with the plan.

Questions
No, but the benefits will be massive if you bring the leaders who make the decisions with you. Three to five is the sweet spot. That being said, having you in the room is step one.
You will do the full two days and leave knowing exactly which team to bring next time. Every individual leaves with a plan and a reason to send their people.
Yes. Whether you lead a founder-led company or a business unit inside a large enterprise, the work scales to your stakes, and tables are grouped so you sit with real peers.
No. This is built for leaders, not engineers. You will not be writing code or building agents. You will leave with the frameworks to think about AI as a leader and the skills to use it every day.
Most AI training is overly technical, academic, or disconnected from how you actually run a company. This is the only experience designed for leaders and their teams: you upskill yourself in the room, then apply it directly to your strategy and execution.
The skills to prompt at the top 1%, a framework for agentic AI, the tools to drive faster alignment and better decisions with your team, and a 90-day plan your team built and owns.
The event consists of an optional welcome reception on Sunday followed by two full days, in person, in Austin.
Absolutely. Book a short Accelerator inquiry call and our team will answer your questions before you commit.
Bring the people who set the direction, make the decisions, and turn strategy into action. Join us in Austin, and start building the leadership team your AI-driven future requires.
