Despite the introduction of new sessions focussing on A.I and how ‘The Copywriter is Dead’, Copy School co-chair, Chris Taylor, remains suspiciously adamant that every speaker in 2023’s line-up is absolutely 100% human.
“Completely carbon-based, mortal and excellent humans at that” chirped Taylor, clearly protesting too much. “I’m continually amazed by the generosity shown by our living, breathing, volunteer speakers.”
With a mere handful of places left, any remaining tickets can be found at copyschool.org
