Call for Papers Open

Got something real to say about AI engineering? We want to hear from you.

The AI Engineering Summit brings together the people actually building, shipping, and governing AI-powered software.
We’re looking for speakers who’ve been in the trenches — not polished vendor pitches, but honest, experience-driven talks that practitioners can take back to work on Monday.

Panel Discussion Speaker

Alex Eisenmann

Principal Engineer, nbn® Australia

AI technologist, builder and mathematician interested in how humans and increasingly capable machines can work together.

Focused on the impact of AI on the way we think, create, build software and solve difficult problems. Particularly interested in human-AI collaboration, intelligent systems, and how technology can amplify human judgement rather than simply automate it.

A mathematician by training, with a strong bias toward first principles, experimentation and separating fundamental ideas from industry noise.

More than two decades of experience turning emerging technologies into working systems, while writing and speaking about where AI is taking us next.
