See how an AiAi circle works before you commit to one.
45 minutes, live, with Brett Schklar and Dr. Becky Nusbaum. Who's in the room, what a month looks like, how we measure Return on AI, and what membership costs. Bring your questions. Leave knowing whether a circle is for you.
Same session both days: choose your date on the registration page. Can't make either one? Register anyway and we'll send you the recording.
What we'll cover
Four things you'll know by the end of the session.
About 90% of companies use AI. About 29% can point to a return. The session is about what the second group does differently, and how a circle gets you there.
01
How a circle actually runs
The monthly loop: an in-person working day, a two-hour accountability call two weeks later, a member hosting, a trained Catalyst running the room. Plus how the virtual version works for everyone outside the launch cities.
02
Where your company sits
Live polls place you on our five-level Operational Maturity Scale, from Awareness to AI-Native, and show you how everyone else in the room answered. Most companies are stuck on level two.
03
How ROAI gets measured
Return on AI is the number we hold ourselves to. You'll see what goes into a member's quarterly ROAI report and what their CEO gets out of it.
04
Cost, timing and the first circles
What membership costs, when Denver and the other launch cities open, how circles are grouped by role and company size, and how to get a seat.
Who should come
Leaders who own a function, and the CEOs who own the whole picture.
Circles are built for mid-market companies outside tech: manufacturing, services, healthcare, construction, finance, distribution. Companies that buy AI rather than build it.
- Functional leaders in HR, finance, operations, marketing and sales who've been handed "figure out AI" with no playbook.
- CEOs and owners deciding whether to sponsor a leader, or wanting a seat in a CEO circle themselves.
- Companies with 50 to 5,000 employees. Big enough that AI matters, small enough that nobody has a forty-person AI team.
- Operators curious about the Catalyst role, the trained facilitator who runs each circle.
Probably not a fit
AI vendors and consultants looking for an audience. If you're here to pitch the room, this session will disappoint you.

Questions
The short answers.
Is this a sales pitch?
There's a few minutes at the end on how to get a seat, and we won't pretend otherwise. Everything before that is useful whether you join or not.
Will it be recorded?
Yes. Everyone who registers gets the recording, including people who couldn't make it live.
Do I need to be on camera?
No. Chat, Q&A and the polls all work without a camera or microphone. It runs in your browser, nothing to install.
Is there an in-person version?
Yes. Each launch city gets a lunch interest session, starting with Denver on December 15. Save a seat at the Denver lunch, or see the other cities and dates.
Can I bring someone from my team, or my CEO?
Please do. Have each person register on their own so they get their own link and the recording.
I already know I want in. Do I have to sit through this?
Nope. Request a seat and we'll set up a thirty-minute fit call.
