Theme: Practical AI Application for Entrepreneurs

Topics: AI tools and workflows, automation, content creation, client acquisition, business systems, decision-making, productivity, revenue growth, and more.

The messaging of this summit is for entrepreneurs who are tired of AI hype and haven't been able to make it actually work in their business.

They don't need to hear "AI is the future" or "check out this cool paid tool" again.

They need clear, actionable steps to make AI a real part of how they run and grow their business. We are looking for speakers who will provide that clarity by solving one of these problems:

• How to get started with AI without the overwhelm
• How to identify the right AI tools for your business
• How to build AI-assisted workflows that actually save time
• How to use AI for content, marketing, and outreach
• How to turn AI-assisted efficiency into more revenue
• How to use AI for client delivery and customer experience
• How to avoid common AI mistakes that waste time and money

Summit Structure

The AI Applied Summit is a recorded audio summit, with content being actively pushed to participants August 1–31, 2026.

Speakers will record a 15-minute audio talk (minimum 10 minutes) on their topic, which will be available to participants during the entire period and actively pushed on a particular day (after promotional requirements are met).

The event will be gamified, giving participants rewards for engaging with more of the content.

Among the gamification rewards as well as VIP bonuses will be live events with the speakers, and these are a great opportunity for you to connect with participants.

Concept

Most entrepreneurs know they're supposed to be using AI. They've heard it a hundred times.

But knowing they should use it and actually knowing how to use it are two very different things.

The AI Applied Summit is about bridging that gap — giving entrepreneurs the practical, no-hype knowledge they need to make AI work in their business right now.

Content

The theme of the summit is AI Applied — focused on practical use, real workflows, and tangible business results.

Your talk can cover anything that helps entrepreneurs:

• understand how AI actually works in a business context
• choose and use the right tools
• build systems and workflows that save real time
• turn AI efficiency into more clients and more revenue

Your talk should be high value, teaching one to three actionable insights.

A talk that clearly holds back value to push people into an offer will be rejected.

No direct offers may be made, but you may spend up to 30 seconds mentioning your free offer (and VIP offer if desired).

We provide value first — and in doing so, create a natural desire for deeper engagement.

Delivery

The summit will be delivered in audio format, available to participants through the dashboard throughout the summit period.

Each day, participants will receive an email highlighting 1–3 talks, with direct links to listen.

Speaker Meetings

Dates to be announced. Check your email for invitations.

Speaker Acceptance and Requirements

If your application is submitted and complete before July 24th, 2026, you can assume that you are accepted and do not need to wait for confirmation — but that is only the beginning.

You should block off speaker meetings and participant meetups as soon as you apply.

You may also begin recording your content immediately.

To be included in the content lineup, you must provide a high-quality MP3 recording that delivers real value — not just a pitch.

(If your recording is not up to standard, you will be asked to re-record.)

To be highlighted in email promotions, you must generate at least 10 opt-ins:

• 20+ = inclusion in collaborative book
• 40+ = second highlight

If you do not promote, your talk will remain in the summit but will not be featured.
