WALL OF
“I joined The Bureau in 2019 and am so glad I did. Never have I met so many people who freely offer their insights, expertise, solutions, and support. The Bureau is a unique community of digital professionals built on transparency, kindness, and respect. It can get lonely in an organization without peers and I'm thankful I had The Bureau's team and community to lean on. I am grateful for the relationships and connections I've made and am proud to give back as a host and ambassador.”
Director of Digital Marketing, Proven
The Bureau is a big part of why Plank is still here today. Having peers, friends, and trusted advisors in your corner changes everything. Knowing you’re not alone makes all the difference — in the best times, when you can give back, and in the worst, when you need help. Never had a day where I didn’t value the connections and support this community gives.
Managing Partner
Joining The Bureau is like slipping through Jules Verne’s hidden crater and uncovering a world beneath familiar ground. Every meetup and Slack thread exposes glittering seams of insight—operations stalactites, creative fossils, leadership gems—waiting to be mined.
Yet the richest find is the fellowship. Like Verne’s explorers, we navigate shifting terrain side by side, swapping stories around real and virtual campfires until peers become lifelong friends. The Bureau isn’t just a network; it’s an underground wonderland where digital pros dig deep together and surface stronger.
CEO & Co-Founder
I always had joining The Bureau on my radar when I owned my agency—missing the very first owners’ gathering gave me serious FOMO. Now, more than a dozen years later, I’m blown away by the bonds this community has built. Agency owners here don’t compete—they connect, support, and lift each other up. From solving challenges together to sharing ideas or just having a crew of fellow agency nerds to talk shop with, The Bureau has been exactly what I needed. This is more than a group—it’s a community rooted in generosity, support, and fun. Grateful to be part of it.
Founder
This community of agency leaders has been more than just a source of inspiration—it’s been a true catalyst for growth, both personally and professionally. The Bureau is more than a network; it’s a tribe of kind and insightful individuals who deeply understand the challenges of our industry and are always eager to share ideas, offer support, and push boundaries together.
Through Bureau events and conferences, I’ve gained invaluable insights from some of the brightest minds in digital, while building authentic connections that extend far beyond the professional sphere. Many of the relationships I’ve formed here have blossomed into meaningful friendships, partnerships, and client relationships.
10/10—highly recommend!

“It was like a cold glass of water on a warm summer day—except that the cold glass of water was splashed in your face so that you woke up to all the amazing things happening in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The speakers were terrific. I am so glad I went.”
This event paid for itself within the first hour. THE FIRST HOUR.
Director, Business Development
Getting away from the day-to-day noise to meet with peers who are wrestling with the same questions was a real gift. Making new friends was the cherry on top!
Director of Growth
The event was a great experience. It’s rare to get in a room with other agency folks who are so open about what’s working (and what’s not). The conversations were candid, helpful, and spurred many ideas to bring back to the team. Plus, it’s nice to connect with people who really get it.
Chief Product Officer
This virtual get-together has been the most thoughtful gathering I've experienced. The discussions were expertly facilitated, and the diverse perspectives of the attendees expanded my understanding of adjacent disciplines, helping me to understand the broader impact of design and better articulate its story.
Senior Manager, Design
Attending this event was an incredibly empowering experience. As someone relatively new to project management, I was thrilled to be surrounded by such intelligent and accomplished professionals in the field. The amount of knowledge shared was immense, and I'm still digesting all the new information and insights I gained. Every speaker brought a wealth of expertise, and I left feeling inspired and motivated to continue growing in this space. I'm already looking forward to the next summit!

This event was run like a smooth sailing ship, and all of the content was very relevant and applicable to a variety of project management styles. It was refreshing to have moments to share with like-minded leaders about similar challenges.
Managing Director
I went to the event thinking I'd walk away with some tactics on how to improve my agency. What I actually walked away with was a strategy on how to create long-term positive change as well as a strong sense of community within the agency space. I left buzzing with ideas and a renewed sense in my abilities. Thank you. Thank you so much!
Vice President of Operations
This was my first Bureau event, and won’t be my last! Everyone was so kind and helpful. You could tell from the first day that this is an incredibly special group with undeniable talents. I’m so grateful to have attended!
Director of Operations
“The behind-the-scenes work can be a grind. If it's working well, generally, folks don't notice and it can be upstaged by the shiny work going out. Getting the opportunity to zoom out of the day-to-day tasks of our agency and step into a room of like-minded spreadsheet-loving peers was remarkable. I left with validation, confidence, and immediately applicable knowledge. These are my people and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to connect and plug in.”
Chief Operations Officer
Nothing can replace the experience of connecting with your industry peers in-person. With every Bureau event I've been to, I've left with a new group of friends that I can reach out to with work (and sometimes personal) issues. I feel like I level up my career every time.
Operations Consultant
The Bureau's in-person events aren't just professional development—it’s where I found my people, built lifelong friendships, and became a better leader because of it.

Founder & CEO
Bureau events are my community. It's where I got my shit together and learned how to build a better agency and become a better leader. Your peers aren't your competition, they're your path forward.

We’re not here to impress or look polished. We’re here to invest in each other and work on the real challenges together.
