We’re excited to share that three Badger leaders are speaking at Karbon Next, bringing real-world perspectives on the future of pricing, growth, culture, and client experience in an AI-driven industry.
🎤 Shannon Badger - “Pricing in the Age of AI: Time, Value, and What Your Firm Is Really Selling”
As AI compresses hours of work into seconds, firms are being forced to rethink the relationship between effort and value. Shannon will join a panel exploring what modern pricing models actually work in today’s environment—and what firm leaders need to rethink to stay profitable.
🎤 Krystal Gibson Engelhardt - “Human-Led GTM in an AI World”
AI is changing prospect expectations, sales conversations, and onboarding. Krystal will share how firms can modernize their go-to-market strategy while keeping relationships and human connection at the center.
🎤 Amanda Owens, PAFM Owens - “The Cultural Architect”
Technology is evolving fast—but culture is still the foundation. Amanda will join firm leaders discussing how to build teams that embrace AI as a tool for growth, not a threat, while developing the next generation of advisory talent.
We can't wait to connect with the Karbon team: Ian Vacin, Timothy Donohoue, Jessica Martin, Lachlan Macindoe, Mariana Montana, Elizabeth Blass, Twyla Verhelst, CPA! We are also looking forward to taking the stage with Melisa Gaetani!
If you’re attending Karbon Next, we’d love to connect.
