A note from Mark Hinkle and Todd Lewis
Your AI story should go somewhere.
We want to be the Savannah Bananas of tech conferences: the kind of conference that makes people forget to check their email back at the office. We want sponsors and attendees to walk away hungry to come back to the next event. We’re fanatical about that.
Bring a real problem. Show how your work solves it. Let the people who may use it ask the hard questions, and leave them with something they can take back to work.
Every sponsorship also supports a diverse North Carolina workforce through Ada Lovelace scholarships. You’ll be recognized on our scholarships page for helping future AI leaders take part.

Ada Lovelace scholarships
Open a door.
Help someone build with AI.
Ada Lovelace saw possibilities for computers beyond calculation. We see that same horizon in AI, and we want everyone to participate.
Our scholarships help students, career changers and people historically underrepresented in technology build practical skills. Every sponsorship connects your organization with future AI leaders and helps upskill a diverse North Carolina workforce.
Every sponsor will be recognized on our scholarships page for helping make that access possible.
- 1,000+
- scholarships awarded in 2026
- 500
- scholarships guaranteed in 2027
- 3,226
- hands-on training seats across two years
You fund the seat. A nonprofit partner selects the participant.
More scholarships may be available based on attendance and sponsorship. Training seats are not a count of unique learners.
ConferenceOS
Built for better conversations.
We got tired of bad conference websites, disconnected systems and a separate app that made attendees work harder to connect. Too many vendors added cost without improving the experience. So we built ConferenceOS for a simpler attendee experience, better connections and more useful sponsor conversations.
Personalized agendas
Give interested attendees a way to plan time for your talks and workshops.
Virtual booths
Help attendees explore your company before they meet your team.
Opt-in networking
Find people with shared interests who want to connect.
QR contact exchange
Exchange details and a useful next step with permission.
Session resources
Keep videos, slides and materials available after the conversation.
Sponsor follow-up
Every tier includes app lead capture. Presenting, Platinum and Gold include two hardware scanners.
Track sponsors can scan room-entry attendees. Presenting sponsors may receive eligible event-wide opt-in contacts. Follow-up stays within attendee permissions. Feature availability and reporting scope are governed by the agreement.
A brighter future. Built together.
Let’s find your place in it.
Tell us who you want to reach and what you want them to remember. We’ll send sponsorship details and help you choose the right opportunity.
