Will Taubenheim is a 4x NASA award-winning AI engineer, founder, and keynote speaker. He builds AI for NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, and businesses that have to ship. Then he gets on stage and tells the truth about what that actually takes. His signature talk is The Age of Adaptation. He keynoted Illuminate 2026 at The Ion in Houston on that idea: AI is not here to replace the work you already love. It is how you keep doing it, at a scale you could not reach alone. The room gets a story they recognize, then a first-principles map they can use on Monday. He opens with the audience, not a résumé. As founder and CEO of Lost Frame Ventures, Will has taken AI from concept to production in weeks across healthcare, finance, real estate, the trades, and defense.

He has also keynoted for Entrepreneurs' Organization DC, opened the Greater Brookfield Chamber AI Summit, and presented defense simulation technology at I/ITSEC. He does not speak about what AI might do someday. He speaks about what it is doing now, and how people and organizations adapt before the window closes.

Brandon Fears is a former Fortune 500 product and growth executive who managed $700M+ product portfolios at Intel, led global product management across $11B+ in divisions at Honeywell, and held senior leadership roles at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. He holds an MBA from Rice University's Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business and a US patent. He has taken a commercial services business from negative 21% gross margin to positive 21% in nine months. After two decades watching large organizations spend aggressively on marketing while the real problem sat untouched in the foundation, Brandon founded Gracchus Partners — a fractional Chief Growth Officer practice built on a single insight: most businesses only ever address Promotion, the last of four sequential steps. The first three — Product, Price, and Placement — determine whether Promotion works at all. His Growth Physics Framework runs an objective diagnostic against any business, produces three scores, and generates a clear priority list: fix this first, then this, then this. Most clients see measurable improvement in close rate within 60 to 90 days — not from better ads, but from a foundation that can finally support the traffic already coming in. Brandon speaks on growth strategy, AI-powered execution, and why the sequence matters more than the spend.
