Keynote Presentation by Corey Bridges, AI Transformation Advisor & Founding Netflix Marketer
Smarter, Faster, Safer: Practical AI for Contractors and Field Leader
From scheduling and dispatch to inventory tracking and bid writing, AI is already reshaping how foremen, field teams, and contractors get the job done. But with all the hype—and the hesitation—it’s hard to know where to start. In this practical, eye-opening keynote, Corey Bridges shows how a few well-chosen tools and a working understanding of AI can make your work faster, clearer, and more effective—without replacing the human know-how that keeps jobsites running.
Tailored for field supervisors, installers, and business owners alike, this talk highlights real-world AI use cases that boost jobsite efficiency and communication. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what works, what doesn’t, and where this technology is heading next.
