About Event

Part of Twin Cities Startup Week 2026, September 14–18.

AI is moving quickly from individual tools and prompts toward systems that can take on larger pieces of work. In this rapid-fire Ignite series, AI practitioners will each have five minutes to share one lesson from their experience building, deploying, or working with AI and agentic systems, followed by two minutes of audience Q&A. Together, the talks will cover practical questions around building reliable AI systems, deciding what work to automate, structuring agentic workflows, evaluating AI performance, and moving AI from experimentation into real-world use.

Speakers:

Yasmin Ramzy - Founder, Clarent AI
Masaood Yunus - Founder & CEO, FRCTN AI
Sage Faraday - Partner & Fractional CTO, Rosenblatt AI
