SUMMARY:Chipp Con
DESCRIPTION:AI is not just a tool you open when you need something\, it has become the thing that builds. The ideas you used to shelve because they were too expensive\, too technical\, or too small to justify a developer\, you can bring to life this week. That is the shift we are all living through\, and Chipp is where you do it. One free day in Greenville to see exactly how. \n\n\n\nSchedule: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8:30 am – Doors\, coffee and check-in\n\nGrab a badge and a coffee\, and meet the room before we get started. \n\n\n\n9:00 am – Main Stage\n\nWelcome and the State of AI – Scott Meyer on where AI actually is in 2026 and what changes when your software stops waiting for instructions. \n\n\n\n10:00 am – Main Stage\n\nWhat’s new at Chipp – Hunter Hodnett on everything we have shipped\, what is coming next\, and how builders are using it right now. \n\n\n\n11:00 am – Demos\nReal agents\, real businesses – Live walkthroughs of agents running support\, sales\, and operations\, with a look under the hood at how each one is put together.\n\n\n\n12:00 pm – Break & Lunch\n\nFood is on us\, so sit with someone building something close to what you are building. \n\n\n\n1:00 pm – Hands On\nBuild one of your own – Laptops open and we build together\, so bring a workflow you would rather never do again.\n\n\n\n3:00 pm Q & A\n\nOpen floor for questions\, then drinks and conversation before you head out.
