Keynote

Sara Davison

Co-Founder & Strategy Lead, AI Build Lab

The architect. Sara designs the frameworks that extrapolate to any system — turning complex AI into mental models you can actually use. Her curriculum is why AI Build Lab students ship production systems in four weeks, not four months.

Tyler Fisk, Co-Founder of AI Build Lab
Keynote

Tyler Fisk

Co-Founder & Lead Instructor, AI Build Lab

The builder. Tyler teaches by doing — live demos, real-time debugging, mistakes and all. His forward-deployed engineer methodology means you watch the actual process, not a polished recording. He'll roast your agent architecture and then help you fix it.
