Where Human Genius Meets Machine Intelligence
The Core Equation
Your zone of genius is the multiplier. AI is the accelerant. The founders, creators, and marketers who win the next decade aren't the ones with the most tools — they're the ones who bring something irreplaceable to every room they enter.
Your distinct voice, proven methodology, and the category you own — the part that cannot be automated.
The tools, systems, and workflows that multiply your output — without replacing what makes you irreplaceable.
A business that scales beyond your hours. An audience that knows who you are. A category you own.
Two main-stage sessions that open and close the day — framing the YOU × AI equation and tying both tracks together.
Hands-on sessions on AI tools, workflows, agents, and systems built for founders and marketers in the real world.
Deep dives into content strategy, category design, audience building, and monetization for bootstrapped businesses.
Rogue Media Network films every session. Miss nothing. Take the content cascade home with you.
Our Declaration
AI arrived and in a single stroke made the technical advantage nearly free. Anyone can build software now. The barrier that was supposed to separate the builders from the bystanders has collapsed — and in the rubble, something unexpected happened.
It cannot replicate your upbringing, your failures, your obsessions, your way of seeing a problem. It cannot carry the relationships you've built, the credibility you've earned, the trust that was given to you. AI can amplify all of that — but it has to start with you.
They're in Waco. They're in Asheville. They're in Saint Louis and Santa Fe and a hundred other places the old innovation maps never marked. The absence of a legacy tech ecosystem has become a kind of freedom. There is only the question: what do I actually want to make?
Who's Speaking
Every speaker at YOU × AI is doing the work — not just talking about it. No panels of pundits. No generic keynotes. Just proven founders and creators sharing what's actually working.
