AGENCY EXECUTIVE DINNERS
BRISTOL 19/11/26
Bristol Creative Industries and GYDA are hosting a dinner on 19th November 2026 at Hotel du Vin, Bristol City Centre, where Janusz Stabik will discuss: The New Business Problem - Winning work when AI makes every agency look competent.
AI has made every agency look good. Decks are sharper, proposals are faster, output is cleaner, and the average standard of work in the market has risen fast. That's a problem, because the things agencies have historically won on- responsiveness, quality, being nice to work with- are now table stakes and increasingly automated.
Join us to discuss commercial exposure, positioning and sales efficacy over a beautiful Hotel du Vin three-course dinner with twenty other agency leaders sharing where their own new business actually comes from, what happens to that engine over the next 24 months, and what to do about it.
LOCATION: Hotel du Vin - Bristol City Centre, The Sugar House, Narrow Lewins Mead.
DATE: Thursday 19th November 2026, 6.30pm-10.30pm
FORMAT: Evening dinner for 20 people
TICKET: This event is for agency leaders only. Tickets cost £80 +VAT. Tickets include dinner and drinks.

PRACTICAL AND INSPIRING
"The Breaking £1M workshop was both practical and inspiring, and I found it a great investment in my business. It was run at a good pace, with lots of interactivity as well as useful learning. I enjoyed hearing the case study from a business I admire, and the energy in the room throughout made for an uplifting experience, with everyone encouraged to share and be candid, which was refreshing. I’m already taking action and am looking forward to an accountability follow-up session."
