Austin AI Conference

Call for speakers

Tell us what you built.

We are filling 30+ speaking slots for 4 May 2027 and announcing each one as it confirms. No deck required to pitch.

The bar

Four things. They are not negotiable, and they apply to sponsors and friends of the organisers exactly as firmly as to everyone else.

01

You shipped it

In production, with real users and a real budget. Not a prototype, not a pilot that never left the building.

02

You will show the numbers

Cost, latency, error rates, what it replaced, what it did not. Talks without evidence are why people stopped going to AI conferences.

03

You will say what went wrong

The failed approach is usually more useful than the successful one, and it is the part nobody else will tell the room.

04

You are not selling from the stage

Sponsors get sponsor benefits. The stage is for the work. We keep those separate, which is exactly why the room is worth being in.

We review on a rolling basis and reply either way, including when the answer is no.

About you
The talk

The part that matters most. Real users, real budget, in production. Prototypes and pilots that never left the building do not count.

A few sentences. Include the numbers you are willing to show and the thing that went wrong.
