Step Into the Future of Salon Leadership with AI

Salon and spa owners looking to stay ahead in a fast‑moving industry have a unique opportunity this year. Marnie Wills, AI strategist and fractional chief AI officer, will be a keynote speaker at the Birmingham and Leeds Regional Growth Summits 2026, sharing practical insights on how AI can transform salon leadership.

What the Session Will Be About

Marnie’s keynote, Personal AI Intelligence: The Essential Mindset for Every Salon Business Leader, is designed to make AI approachable for salon and clinic leaders. It focuses on building a personal AI mindset rather than overwhelming technical tools. Attendees will learn how to integrate AI into everyday roles - from planning and decision‑making to marketing, client communication, and team support - leaving with a clear path to create their own AI workflows.
