You're not leaving with a folder of screenshots.
By Wednesday afternoon you'll have three things in your hands:
A readiness scorecard.
Where your organization actually stands, scored against something other than vibes.
One pilot workflow.
Built for your team, not a demo team. You'll run it.
A 30-day roadmap.
What happens the Monday after you get home.
Every ticket includes both full days, every session and working block, all workshop materials, and a certificate of attendance for 9.0 Professional Development Hours (Arkansas PE/PS). Meals are on your own; plenty of local options.
Standard pricing: $497 per seat. Registration closes October 12.

Can't make it? Send a colleague in your place, any time, at no charge. Tickets are not refundable otherwise. Details in the FAQ.
One person going home to convince everyone is a hard job. Three people going home is a meeting. Bring your executive sponsor, your process owner, and the person who'll actually build the thing. That's the trio that makes a pilot survive contact with a Monday.
- Three full admissions
- A 30-minute pilot planning call after the event
- You leave with alignment, not just ideas
Pick the Three-Seat Team Pass in the ticket box, or add any three single seats: the cart prices them the same. Send us the three names after you book.

Fifteen minutes with Shelly first.
Bring the workflow that is eating your week. She will tell you, plainly, whether two days in Rogers will fix it or whether you should keep your money. No pitch deck, no follow-up sequence.
Not paying out of pocket?
Get your boss to pay for it.
We wrote the email for you. Four versions, because your boss is a specific kind of person and you already know which one.

Subject: Training request, $497, October 13-14 Hi [Name], I want to attend the Future-Ready Leader Summit in Rogers on October 13 and 14. Here's the cost and what comes back. Registration: $497 Travel and lodging: [$X] Total: [$X] For comparison, the AI leadership programs I looked at run $2,000 to $3,500 before travel, and most of them are lecture format. This one is capped at 50 people and built as a working session. I come back with three things: a scorecard on where we actually stand, one pilot workflow built for our team, and a 30-day plan for running it. Not a slide deck. If the pilot saves even two hours a week across [team/department], it pays for itself before Thanksgiving. Registration closes October 12. Can I book it? [Your name]
For the boss who reads the first two sentences and nothing else.
Subject: Quick approval, $497 Hi [Name], Asking to attend the Future-Ready Leader Summit, October 13-14 in Rogers. It's $497 plus travel. I'd come back with a pilot workflow built for our team and a 30-day plan to run it. Yes or no is fine. [Your name]
For the boss who has sat through a lot of training and remembers all of it as a waste.
Subject: October 13-14, and why this one is different Hi [Name], I know how these usually go. Someone attends a two-day AI thing and comes back with a folder of screenshots and a lot of enthusiasm that wears off by the second week. This one is structured differently. It's capped at 50 people, it's a workshop rather than a keynote circuit, and the deliverable is a pilot workflow built around our actual processes plus a 30-day roadmap for running it. There's a follow-up planning call after the event so it doesn't die on the drive home. Cost is $497 plus travel, which is well under what comparable programs charge. Here's my offer: I'll bring the pilot to you within 30 days of getting back. If it isn't worth running, we drop it and we're out one training budget line. If it works, we have something we can point at. October 13 and 14, in Rogers. Registration closes October 12. [Your name]
For the boss who cares more about capability than line items.
Subject: Sending three of us to the October summit Hi [Name], There's a two-day working summit in Rogers on October 13 and 14 focused on AI fluency for people who have to actually implement it, not just talk about it. I'd like to send three of us rather than one: an executive sponsor, a process owner, and whoever's going to build the thing. Three seats are $1,197 total, which is less than sending two people to most conferences. The reason for three: one person coming back to convince everyone is a hard job. Three people coming back is a meeting that goes somewhere. The whole session is built around leaving with alignment instead of ideas. We'd come back with a readiness scorecard, one pilot workflow, and a 30-day plan, plus a follow-up call to make sure it actually starts. Suggesting [Name], [Name], and me. Can I book it? [Your name]
Your boss is you? Here's the version you send to yourself.
Subject: Approved You've been meaning to get serious about this for a year. It's $497. You have spent more than that on things you have already forgotten. Book it. You
What people say about working with Shelly
First summit. Not the first room.
This is the first Future-Ready Leader Summit, so there are no attendee reviews yet. There are fifteen years of colleagues, clients, and managers saying the same thing about Shelly in public.
Her engineering background adds a practical edge to every project, while her deep curiosity and sharp understanding of emerging tech like AI, LLMs, and ML set her up for success in any challenge.
No matter the size of the ask or the severity of the timeline, she was always poised, had a clear path forward, but was willing to engage with others' ideas. She excelled at driving collective engagement from everyone on the team.
What stood out immediately was her ability to connect big-picture strategy with on-the-ground execution. Her structured problem-solving approach and ability to align diverse teams made a measurable impact.

Capacity stops at 50 so this stays a workshop and not a keynote you scroll through. Refunds and transfers are in the FAQ, written in plain English.
