Join us for a chat with Lise (influencer marketing at Granola, prev. ElevenLabs) and Michael (Kuli Founder, YC P26) and drinks with a small, curated group of marketers, growth leads, and creator/affiliate teams. We'll cover practical workflows teams are using today: how they identify the right partners, spot organic advocates, brief creators faster, and scale programs without losing quality. We'll also share a few real examples of how AI speeds up sourcing, analysis, briefing, and internal collaboration. This will be a casual evening with a short discussion, a few live workflow examples, and time to meet other people working on creator, affiliate, and growth programs.
