AI Engineer Summit 2026

Noah is CTO at Fathom Robotics, where inference cost is a line item the board reads every month. He previously built pricing systems at a payments company.

Rafael helps enterprise teams take AI prototypes into production, which mostly means helping them delete things.

Ava leads the evaluation platform at Lumen AI, where she is responsible for making sure model changes ship without quietly regressing customer-facing quality. She spent six years in search relevance before moving to LLM systems.

Daniel builds clinical decision-support systems at Meridian Health, in a regulatory environment where 'we will fix it in the next deploy' is not an option.

Elena has shipped AI features to two million users and has the support tickets to prove it. She is interested in the gap between demo behaviour and daily behaviour.
