KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Your Next Hire Is an AI Agent
Nadia Hansen, AI Strategist, CLV Enterprise Inc.

• Keynote Theatre

For years, "bootstrapped" meant doing everything yourself or doing without. Not anymore. AI agents have changed the math on what a small business can build without funding, without a big team, and without waiting for the budget to catch up to the ambition.

In this session, Nadia Hansen — founder of CLV Enterprise & Professor at UNLV — breaks down how small business owners can build their own AI coworkers: agents that handle email response, marketing, social media, and prospecting, working alongside the humans already on the team. You'll see what a real AI-augmented org chart looks like, where agents fit next to people, and how to identify the first role in your business worth automating.

You'll leave with a framework for mapping your own org chart, a shortlist of the highest-ROI roles to delegate to an agent first, without an engineering team.
