AI goes to WORK! A t-shirt-friendly summit focused on real-world AI applications and implications inside real businesses.

More Signal, Less Noise is a t-shirt-friendly summit focused on real-world AI applications and implications inside real businesses.

Let’s get real, folks. We’ve all seen and heard the AI hype. We’ve all scrolled past the “it’s not just ___, it’s a ____ movement and this will change your life forever” LinkedIn posts, and read the doomsday “This will be like Terminator but actually worse” manifestos. Maybe you’ve written some of them yourself. But inside real organizations, from the factory floor to the C-suite, the questions around AI are remarkably similar:

• What should we actually do?
• What should we ignore?
• What happens when this hits real operations?
• What exactly is “AI” and why should we care?

What You’ll Experience:

Real-word use cases, conversations and Q&A from our region’s most successful companies, including: Red Stag I Bush Brothers I Clayton Homes I Avero Advisors I Pet Safe I Ancient Lore Village

Intellectual Property, Privacy, and Security in the age of AI, a live legal professionals panel hosted by Haseeb Qureshi, founder of ForthLaw

Opening Keynote: “More Signal, Less Noise” from life-long entrepreneur, community leader and Fighting Shape Impact Co. Founder Chris McAdoo
