SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - THE unprecedented response from Australia's business elite at the sold-out Entourage AI Intensive next week highlights the need for immediate action on AI adoption to stay ahead.

The Entourage's inaugural AI Intensive, featuring 250 carefully selected seven and eight-figure business owners, sold out a full month before the event date—signalling the urgency Australian business leaders feel around AI adoption.

According to The Entourage founder and CEO, Jack Delosa, the sold-out event reflects what he describes as a critical inflection point where established business owners recognise AI transformation as essential rather than experimental.

"When 250 million-dollar CEOs sell out your event a month in advance, they're telling you something about market timing," said Jack Delosa, founder and CEO of The Entourage. 

"These aren't entrepreneurs hoping to scale—these are proven business leaders who've already built substantial companies and recognise that AI implementation will determine who dominates their industries over the next decade," he said.

The exclusive gathering represents a combined revenue base exceeding $1 billion, with attendees running businesses across professional services, real estate, allied health, manufacturing, retail, technology, and emerging industries. 

With AI adoption surging to 72% globally—up from 50% last year—business leaders are demanding practical implementation strategies across their entire operation.

The Competitive Edge

"At our intensive, we're not talking theory," emphasises Delosa. "Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of the AI tools that can transform the way they work." 

"The sessions go far beyond basic ChatGPT prompts." He said. "We will be teaching businesses how to scope, build, and deploy GPTs that think, sound, and execute like their team - delivering results at scale," he said.

The intensive addresses three critical areas where Australian businesses are implementing AI to gain a competitive advantage through streamlining tasks that previously required hours or days to complete.

First, attendees will master Custom GPTs to automate their business expertise. Participants learn to transform their processes into AI systems that operate around the clock, capturing company knowledge, tone, and methodology to handle copywriting, landing page creation, sales processes, customer onboarding, and repetitive administrative tasks.

Second, the program covers AI Agents as digital employees that scale infinitely. Unlike traditional tools that require constant direction, these AI workers operate autonomously, managing complex tasks and following multi-step workflows.

Third, participants will implement AI Chatbots designed to automatically nurture and convert leads. While 78% of customers buy from the first company to respond, the average business takes 17 hours to follow up on web leads, with over 30% of leads never contacted at all.

Meanwhile, businesses implementing AI chatbots are seeing conversion rates jump by 391% with one-minute response times and achieving 3x better sales conversions.

"The data is unforgiving," notes Delosa. "When your lead response time exceeds 5 minutes, sales conversions drop 10-fold. But businesses currently using AI Agents are boosting revenue by 7-25% while their competitors are still manually processing leads from weeks ago," he said.

"The window for competitive advantage through AI adoption is closing rapidly," warns Delosa. "The businesses that master AI implementation in 2025 will dominate their markets in 2026."

The AI Intensive runs from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on August 12th and August 13th, 2025, at The W Darling Harbour, Sydney.
