Honored to be a panelist at the AI Tennessee Summit in Nashville on January 28–29, 2026.

I’ll be joining the Day Two panel, “Breaking the First Learn Then Apply: AI Start-Up Ecosystem in Tennessee,” alongside founders, builders, and ecosystem leaders who are actively turning AI research into real-world applications.

At Ship It Pro, we’re building applied AI for freight quality, damage prevention, and claims clarity. This conversation around moving from theory to ex*****on hits close to home.

Grateful to be included and looking forward to a strong discussion on what it takes to build, test, and scale AI companies here in Tennessee.

If you’re attending, hope to see you there.
