Time & Location
Sep 25, 2025, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Storyfarm, 506 S Dallas St, Baltimore, MD 21231, USA
About the event
AI isn’t the future anymore—it’s here, shaping the way we brainstorm, pitch, and create every single day. But how is it really changing the industry? Is it making us faster and smarter, or threatening what makes human creativity unique?
Join us at Storyfarm for a high-energy Baltimore Ad Month panel will cut through the hype and dig into what AI means for agencies, designers, writers, and strategists right now. We’ll look at how creative shops are already putting AI to work—what’s smart, what’s sketchy, and what’s next. We’ll wrestle with the ethical lines around originality, ownership, and bias. And we’ll ask the big question: is AI a shortcut, a collaborator, or a full-on revolution?
