A great keynote gives you ideas. A great experience gives you something to take with you.

At the 2026 Lehigh Valley Business Summit, our keynote speaker Libby DeLucien is doing both.

Each attendee will receive a complimentary copy of her bestselling book, 1-Layer Deep—and you’ll have the opportunity to meet Libby and have your book personally signed at the event.

It’s insight you can implement and a resource you can return to long after the morning ends.

Join us on Thursday, April 30 at DeSales University and be part of a conversation that moves your business forward.

There’s a difference between talking about AI… and actually seeing it work.

This is where theory meets traction.

At the 2026 Lehigh Valley Business Summit, this panel goes beyond ideas and into ex*****on. If you’ve been wondering what AI success really looks like in the day-to-day of a business, this is your answer.

Moderated by Aaron Coleman, Platinum Star Cleaning Services, with real-world insights from:
• Dr. Jeffery Bullock, PRISM AI Consulting

✔ Real use cases across marketing, content, and operations
✔ Before and after snapshots of implementation
✔ Measurable outcomes including time saved, efficiency gained, and revenue impact

The conversation around AI is loud. Confusing. Expensive, if you get it wrong.

We’re cutting through that.

🚨 Panel Announcement: AI Without the Overwhelm — Where to Start and What Matters

At the 2026 Lehigh Valley Business Summit, this first panel is designed for the businesses that feel stuck between curiosity and chaos. No jargon. No fluff. Just practical direction.

Led by William Benz, Carnegie Agency, with insights from:
• Kristy Murray, Fusion AI Consulting
• Emily Massaro, Liquid Marketing
• James McLaine, iamai Consulting

This conversation will challenge the noise and answer what actually matters:
✔ What “practical AI” really looks like in your business
✔ The mistakes costing companies time and money right now
✔ Where to start if you feel behind
✔ Where not to invest your energy or budget
✔ How to get your team aligned and actually using AI

Because the future isn’t waiting — but it also doesn’t have to overwhelm you.
