The Human Behind The Event

Hi, I'm Gemma.

Business and AI consultant, founder of The Lighthouse, co-founder of Aureum AI. Creator of the Conscious AI Method®, a human-first framework that positions AI as a partner to expertise rather than a replacement for it.

For more than a decade I've worked with expert founders building businesses with integrity, away from the hype and the hamster wheel. AI Unfiltered is the conversation I wanted to be in, and couldn't find. So I'm building it.

When I select a sponsor, I take that investment seriously. You become a client through partnering with me, and I will make damn sure you see a return on it.

Part II

The Invitation.

A conversation expert brands and founders are paying attention to.

AI Unfiltered 2026 is the inaugural year of an annual three day online event, built for founders, consultants and service business owners who are past the hype and ready for substance.

24 hand-picked speakers. Three expert panels. Three days of honest conversation about what is actually working with AI, what is not, and what most people in this industry will not say out loud.

Your brand can sit at the centre of all of it.

Five reasons

Why brands sponsor AI Unfiltered.

i.

You reach founders who buy.

Established service business owners, consultants and coaches with revenues between £70k and £1M+. They have invested before on coaches, software, certifications and services. They are deciding, not browsing.

ii.

You're shared with my 20k community.

Sponsorship doesn't just reach attendees. Across the four month campaign leading up to the event, your brand is shared with my full 20,000+ audience: email, social, podcast, Substack. The room you reach is bigger than the room on the day.

iii.

You're aligned with substance.

Most AI events are surface-level. AI Unfiltered is not. The line-up is curated for credibility, the conversation is built for depth. Sponsoring this signals that your brand operates at the same standard.

iv.

You get access, not just exposure.

Depending on tier: a speaker spot, podcast episode, Substack article, hosted networking, dedicated email and social, gift bag placement, plus a strategy session with me. Real assets, not logos on a slide.

v.

Sponsor a movement, not a one-off.

The inaugural year of an annual event. Year one sponsors become the brands associated with the event long term. The audience remembers who showed up first. This is the year to come in.

Who is in the room

A room worth getting into.

Whether you sell AI tools, consultancy, software, courses, services or something entirely unrelated, the value is the same: established expert founders with active interest in investing in their businesses.

You do not need to be an AI brand to win here. You need to be a brand that serves expert led businesses. If that is you, this is your audience.

Numbers from the last live event.

AI Unfiltered 2026 is built on top of all of that, with more reach, more partners and a sharper proposition.

Three Layers of ROI

How sponsors make their money back.

ROI shows up in three places. Most sponsors think only about the first. The second and third are where the real long term value sits.

Layer one · Direct profit from leads and sales

If your client value is

£500

10 sales = £5,000 (Main Event paid back twice over).
20 sales = £10,000 profit.
At 3% conversion on 300 attendees, that's 9 sales before the wider community sees you.

If your client value is

£2,000

5 clients = £10,000 (double a Main Event spend).
10 clients = £20,000 profit.
At 2% on 300 attendees, that's 6 clients. Add the 20k community campaign and you don't need the room to convert hard.

If your client value is

£5,000+

3 clients = £15,000 (three times Main Event back).
One Substack feature or podcast appearance often delivers this alone. At 1% on 300 attendees, that's 3 conversations.

Layers two and three: association with a respected annual event and a curated line-up of credible experts (compounding across replays, podcast and Substack), plus year one positioning that cannot be bought back later at the same price.
