Clay Office | New York, NY

Phil Carter is one of the leading experts in consumer subscription, guiding brand names such as Perplexity, Gamma, and Chess.com(http://Chess.com) on how to supercharge their subscription offerings. Phil(https://www.philgcarter.com/) will join us to talk about his Subscription Value Loop - proven tactics for growing consumer subscription businesses (see his Lenny's Newsletter guest post(https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/the-subscription-value-loop-a-framework)) - as well as how AI is changing consumer subscription. He also runs a top-rated Maven course on Consumer Subscription Growth and hosts the Subversive Podcast(https://www.youtube.com/@SubversivePodcast) with Founders/CEOs as well as product, marketing, and growth leaders from some of the best consumer subscription apps in the world.
Phil lives in Colorado, and we’re lucky to get him in-person in NYC for this event! I’ve been a big fan of his and was fortunate to have picked his brain on how to grow my last startup.
Note: This event is on Indigenous Peoples' Day (Columbus Day). It’s the only day we could make work for Phil’s schedule, so we understand if many won’t be in town to join. We’ll be hosting at the awesome Clay office, so hopefully enough of us can get together and get to know Phil!

Who should attend: Anyone interested in best practices for growing subscription products, especially in a world of AI!
