Single track
Every attendee sees every session. There is no competing room drawing your audience away. In a multi-track event a session sponsor reaches a fraction of the room. Here you reach all of it.

Attend · The case
Why this one is worth more than previous summits
Three things changed, and they set the value of a slot.
Two days, not one
Double the exposure window across pre-event, live and post-event promotion.
The audience buys after November
Firms are planning 2027 spend during these two days. A sponsor in front of them at the moment the budget question is live is a different conversation to one in March.
Attend · The receipts
June, in numbers
The first AI in Practice Summit drew 1,850 registrations (2,063 including late sign-ups for the replays). 82% of them were accountants or bookkeepers. This is a practitioner audience, not a vendor room.

The one condition
Your session must include a client co-presenter sharing measured results: build cost, hours saved, revenue won, or what failed. The Firm helps you identify and prepare the co-presenter. This is the format that converts, because a customer saying it lands harder than a vendor saying it.

Tier 03 · Limited to 4 sponsors
Silver
Sold out
$4,500 + GST
Premium visibility
- Logo and link on the event website

How the panel runs
The framing is “What to build first in 2027”. Questions come from registered attendees and a moderator from The Firm keeps the conversation on decisions rather than product. It is a credibility slot, not a demo slot, and it is sold on that basis.
Silver is sold out for November. Ask about the waitlist and the next event →

Attend · The terms
What we ask of sponsors
These terms go into every agreement. They are what keeps the audience trusting the agenda, which is what makes a slot worth buying.
-
No sales demos in session slots
Sessions are built on evidence. A sponsor may nominate a client to co-present, which is the format that actually converts.
-
Editorial independence runs both ways
The Firm does not approve sponsor content, and sponsors do not approve The Firm’s content. Speaker selection for unsponsored sessions stays independent.
-
One tier per company
A Gold sponsor cannot also hold a Silver or Bronze slot.
-
Attendee data is opt-in only
Registrants tick a separate box to be shared with sponsors. Sponsors receive only those who opted in.
