EON, the premier applied AI event of the year, returns October 29–30 at Lido House and brings together top innovators from Fortune 500 companies and early-stage deep tech startups. Over two days, attendees will explore next-generation AI technologies transforming industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and finance and connect through opportunities to form new partnerships and customer relationships.

EON recently announced its stellar advisory board and keynote speakers: Brad Porter of Cobot, Hiroaki Kitano of Sony Group Corporation and Okinawa Institute for Science and Technology, and Jonathan Hurst of Agility Robotics. The event also features unconference-style conversations around the theme Applied AI: Delivering on the Promise.

EON is also excited to announce a deep-dive Physical AI panel showcasing GrayMatter Robotics co-founder and CEO Ariyan Kabir and the company’s customers Oshkosh Corporation's Pierce Manufacturing (leading maker of firetrucks), Riddell (leader in football head protection and protective athletic equipment) and IAC (International Aerospace Coatings, leading aircraft painting and aviation services).

“We’re excited to return to EON and reconnect with its community of AI innovators,” says Kabir. “It’s an honor to have GrayMatter Robotics and our incredible partners – Pierce, Riddell, and IAC – showcased. We’re looking forward to sharing their journeys with AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing, and the challenges they’ve overcome.”

EON was founded by Jason Schoettler and Kevin Dunlap, co-founders and managing partners of Calibrate Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm that partners with deep-tech founders.

“This is EON’s fourth annual event, and it’s shaping up to be the most impactful yet,” Dunlap says. “Our advisory board and speakers will explore the future of AI, and panels like GrayMatter’s will ground the conversation in real-world applications. This year’s EON will give attendees a clear view of where the technology is headed and how it’s already creating value.”
