Enterprise AI Summit — Charlotte, NC · Oct 7–8, 2026

● SSE

Call for Speakers

This conference assembles the most switched-on people using AI and vibe coding to advance enterprise goals. This is a community of people who are on the frontier of exploring ways of working that may seem radical and potentially risky, the payoff is so obviously high, staying still is simply not an option.

We have an amazing program planned for you! We have just a few open slots, so if you have an amazing story to share, submit a proposal!

(And this was all made possible by @Swyx's amazing "Kill My SaaS In One Weekend" project – the goal was to write a CFP and agenda publishing tool in a weekend. Read more about the process of doing this here!)
