Off-the-Record Night: Chicago

An invite-only evening for agency founders and senior consultants. Clients aren't buying raw thinking anymore. They want outcomes, faster, with less handholding. That's uncomfortable for a lot of firms and genuinely exciting for a few. AI hasn't changed what great consulting looks like. It's just made it much harder to hide average consulting behind process and day rates. The gap between what most consultancies are selling and what clients actually need is wider than anyone's saying out loud. That's what we want to talk about - honestly, and with people who are already in the middle of it. Off-the-Record Night is a small, invite-only evening for agency founders and senior consultants rethinking how they work. New models, new delivery approaches, real opinions in conversations that'll remain off the record. Hosted by Miro and TXI Digital. ​The format No panels, no recordings, no performing. We’ll start with a couple of short, unfiltered takes to spark the room, then move into a circle discussion - a participatory format designed to get everyone involved, not just a few people on stage. Pizza and drinks throughout. Around 3 hours, deliberately small. ​Who's in the room ~30 founders, partners, and senior leaders from boutique and mid-sized consultancies and agencies. People working through what modern delivery actually looks like, not just talking about it. ​The agenda 17:30 — Arrival & drinks 18:00 — Welcome 18:10 — Sharp takes from our speakers 18:50 — Circle discussion 19:45 — Drinks & conversations 20:30 — Close Spots are limited.
