Adam Lyons - 5 Ways Companies Are Screwing Up AI (How to Fix It for Real ROI)
Capital Factory, 701 Brazos St, Austin, TX, USJoin Adam Lyons, Chief AI and Revenue Officer at ChiefAiOfficers.com, as he breaks down: The 5 Ways Companies Are Screwing Up AI (And How to Fix It for Real ROI)
AI is supposed to be the biggest unlock since the internet — so why does it still feel like a fancy toy collecting digital dust?
Let’s be honest: You’ve poured time, budget, and leadership energy into “AI initiatives”… and your revenue still looks exactly the same.The problem? You're using AI like it’s software. It’s not. It’s strategy.
In this no-fluff session, Adam Lyons will expose the
5 most common (and costly) ways companies are blowing their AI investments — and show you exactly how to flip the script to get immediate, measurable ROI.This isn’t about future-proofing. It’s about profit-proofing. Now.
If your AI playbook was written by your dev team instead of your revenue team… you need to be here.You'll learn:
• Why your AI efforts feel like busywork with no bottom-line impact
• The #1 reason AI isn’t working (hint: it’s not the tech)
• What growth-stage companies are doing right now to make AI actually drive revenue
• And why every business needs a Chief AI Officer — yesterday🔧 This session is for founders and execs who want strategy that sticks.
Don’t sleep on this. If you want AI to actually do something in your business — this is where it starts.

Eric Albee - Vibe Coding: Build with AI for Non-Coders & Curious Creators
Capital Factory, 701 Brazos St, Austin, TX, USIn this talk, Eric Albee, seasoned engineering leader/founder of EricDev Corp. breaks down Vibe Coding, a creative, accessible way to turn your ideas into working prototypes and automations — without needing to know how to code. You’ll follow his real-world developer flow using tools like Claude Code and learn how to bring ideas to life step-by-step.
Whether you’re a marketer, founder, or just AI-curious, you’ll learn how to go from idea → plan → prototype without getting lost in technical jargon. You don’t have to be a software engineer to build something powerful with AI — you just need to learn how to vibe with it.
You’ll learn:
• How to go from idea → plan → working prototype using AI
• How to give AI the right context (“breadcrumbs”) to help you build
• The developer habits that make AI collaboration smoother (even if you’ve never touched GitHub)
• How to validate ideas and communicate clearly with your AI partnerEric will demonstrate and live-build an app with AI to show just how approachable the process can be.
By the end, you’ll see that coding with AI isn’t about syntax — it’s about creativity, clarity, and the confidence to explore.
