Keynote ### Cutting Through the Noise: Growth AI and the New Battle for Attention Why AI has made content and production cheap — and why human attention has become the scarcest, most valuable resource in marketing. Workshop · Tools & Applications ### The Marketer's AI Toolkit: Practical Tools, Real Results A hands-on walkthrough of the AI tools marketers are actually using to save time, sharpen content, and grow pipeline — no hype, just what works. Executive & Board ### From Automation to Amplification: Building a Growth Engine with AI A leadership-level framework for turning AI from a productivity tool into a durable growth engine across marketing, sales, and brand. Social Proof ## What organizers and leaders say ### "Erica has a rare ability to make complex, fast-moving topics clear, relevant, and immediately useful. Every session is thoughtfully tailored to our audience, filled with practical examples and actionable takeaways, and delivered with an energy that keeps attendees engaged. People consistently leave feeling not only better informed, but genuinely equipped and inspired to put what they’ve learned into practice." — Reilly Moriarty; CEO Update, Association Trends ### "Erica gave a compelling presentation that show why Growth AI competency should be top of mind for all organizations, large and small." — Matt Appenzeller; CEO, Southern Ohio Chamber Alliance ### "Erica joined our AI & Analytics Colloquium at Tulane and did something challenging. She took complex, real-world AI deployments and made them understandable. She brought deep field knowledge and paired it with practical, how-to skills our students will need as they step into the AI enabled roles of the future." — Brent Rosen; Assistant Dean for Corporate Relations, Freeman School of Business at Tulane University ### "Erica is one of the most engaging speakers we've brought in front of our leadership. She reads a room, meets people where they are, and translates what’s happening in emerging tech into real, usable strategy for executive leaders who are busy running their own organizations. I'd book her again in a heartbeat." — Denise O'Brien; Texas Realtors ### "Erica has a gift for translating complex growth and marketing AI strategy into something a room full of leaders can act on immediately. Both times she presented to our members, we walked away with real-world practical solutions." — Adrian Hochstadt; CEO, VMAE ### I highly recommend Erica Salm Rench as a speaker for organizations navigating the rapidly evolving world of Growth AI. Erica does the hard work of staying on top of this fast-moving landscape, continually researching, listening, experimenting, and then cutting through the noise to deliver practical, relevant insights her audiences can actually use. She listens carefully to each organization’s needs and creates thoughtful, curated content that makes AI feel approachable, actionable, and empowering. Erica is knowledgeable, passionate, and a trusted voice who helps people build confidence in using AI responsibly. And just as importantly, she is an absolute delight to work with. — Megan Denhardt; CEO, Denhardt Productions On Stage ## In the Room ![jedco-jefferson-area-chamber-of-commerce-erica-salm-rench-marketing-ai-panel-2](https://ericasalmrench.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jedco-jefferson-area-chamber-of-commerce-erica-salm-rench-marketing-ai-panel-2.jpg?width=1280&height=960&name=jedco-jefferson-area-chamber-of-commerce-erica-salm-rench-marketing-ai-panel-2.jpg) ![marketina-ai-session-erica-salm-rench-asae-mmct-conference-2](https://ericasalmrench.com/hs-fs/hubfs/marketina-ai-session-erica-salm-rench-asae-mmct-conference-2.jpg?width=2048&height=1536&name=marketina-ai-session-erica-salm-rench-asae-mmct-conference-2.jpg) ![erica-salm-rench-digitalnow-host-ai-conference](https://ericasalmrench.com/hs-fs/hubfs/erica-salm-rench-digitalnow-host-ai-conference.jpg?width=1386&height=964&name=erica-salm-rench-digitalnow-host-ai-conference.jpg) ## Ready to bring Erica to your stage?
