The AI Decision Room: A Live Tabletop for Growth, Marketing, and Business Leaders
A collaboration by NetWorkPlay and OrcaPanda
AI agents stand between you and your customers. These AI agents are now discovering, researching, recommending and even purchasing on behalf of your customers.
G2 reported over half of software purchases start with AI research and that 69% of customers changed their mind and selected a different vendor after AI's guidance.
So, when someone asks AI to recommend three products or services like yours, are you one of them? It starts with understanding how AI Agents are representing you, how you're positioned in the market with your buyers and where the opportunities for growth are.
The AI Decision Room is a 2.5-hour live tabletop—a working session where leaders work through this dilemma. This is not a hypothetical scenario. You'll work with your own company's results, alongside other leaders and three hosts with unique expertise.

You'll leave with
Your company's AI Agent Readiness™ assessment (a $799 value), which shows how well AI tools can find your business, understand it, and act on it.
A clearer sense of what sets you apart. With peer driven feedback, you'll identify the opportunities worth pursuing.
A 30-day action plan with ways to measure progress, sharpened by peer discussion.
Who should attend
Founders, CEOs, CMOs, and marketing and technical leaders, from growing companies to large enterprises. You don't need an AI background, because the session is built around business decisions.
How it works
Each participant will receive their company’s OrcaPanda's AI Agent Ready assessment. The assessment reviews 17 performance requirements to identify where you are unintentionally blocking or misdirecting AI Agents. The assessment will provide a view of what information it can verify from your site, what it's able to access (or not access), and the recommended priorities based on industry best practices.
Before the event, OrcaPanda will generate a robust company analysis of how your company shows up to AI agents. OrcaPanda is an AI strategic reasoning partner that draws on marketing expertise and a consistent evaluation method you won't get by asking a general AI tool yourself.
In the room, we’ll explain what your findings mean and which recommendations matter most. We’ll share how the technology reached its findings and what is realistic to change. And, we’ve designed the experience so the whole room gets smarter together. You'll test ideas against what you and other leaders in the room know, then build your plan.

Common questions
Can't I just ask AI myself? A chatbot gives you an answer without showing where it came from. OrcaPanda shows its evidence and builds on what it knows about your business over time.
AI changes constantly. Is this still useful? Yes. AI is constantly changing and we don't expect everyone to be able to follow the latest AI developments. This is exactly the reason OrcaPanda is powering this tabletop. Your assessment will be current and relevant.
Can anyone attend, or just founders, CEOs, CMOs, and marketing and technical leaders? Anyone can attend who is interested in AI growth strategies.
