Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue and NVIDIA’s Jayson Dunn will share a stage in Coral Gables on October 23, when eMerge Americas hosts its first Miami AI Summit at the Loews Coral Gables Hotel. The private, full-day event runs 10 AM to 6:30 PM and is aimed at executives, founders, and operators rather than a general tech-conference crowd, built around what AI is actually delivering right now rather than what it might do eventually.

What to expect
Programming covers open-source AI, enterprise-scale deployment, healthcare, national security, workforce transformation, and international expansion, with breakouts on vLLM, cloud, security, and workforce upskilling. The appeal isn’t another day of AI predictions — it’s implementation, investment, governance, and a curated founder meet-and-greet. Confirmed speakers:

  • Clément Delangue, Co-founder & CEO, Hugging Face — VIP keynote
  • Jayson Dunn, Senior Business Manager, State and Local Government, NVIDIA
  • Dr. Michael Mannino, Founder, Neuroverse Consulting
  • Rohit Patel, Founder, Anwrite; former Director, Meta Superintelligence Labs
  • Georgi Petrov, CEO, uxify
  • Kristin Sanchez, NBC6 / South Florida Live — Emcee
  • Albert Santalo, Founder & CEO, Archie
  • Elery Rojas, Director of University Programs & Outreach, Base44

Standard or VIP
Standard covers all sessions and workshops, lunch, and the closing networking happy hour. VIP adds a private breakfast and lunch, two fireside chats, the VIP networking lounge all day, priority seating, and Delangue’s keynote. Both tiers require host approval to join, so this isn’t a same-day buy — current pricing is on the registration page.

Why it’s happening
eMerge Americas Chief AI Officer Burhan Sebin framed the goal as putting the people building AI in the same room as the people using it, for candid conversations about where it’s working, where it isn’t, and how organizations move forward responsibly. It’s co-presented with Miami AI Hub, which has run similar gatherings for the city’s AI ecosystem before.
