What Attendees Say

In Their Own Words

"Listening to Jon Lakefish speak about AI is like getting a fast pass to the future — clear, energizing, and full of practical takeaways. He breaks down complex tools into real-world uses you can apply today."

Jacob Sommer
Veridian Credit Union

"The first AI session that actually made it click. 97 to 99% five-star scores across relevance and actionability. Our CEOs left energized and ready to act."

Event Organizer
TEC Canada

"Phenomenal presentation. The previous AI session I attended with a different speaker was very lackluster compared to Jon's. I walked out ready to learn all the new tools he shared."

Dave Barnes
Finovate Fall

"He made this 'new' thing a lot less scary. I changed from 'AI is too scary to even try' to 'Wait, I wonder what this could do for me.'"

Teena Chandler
Workshop Attendee

"Jon's presentation at GROWCON2025 opened my eyes to how I can expand my use of AI to provide more value to my clients, while using safe best practices."

James Barnes
