Keynote Speaker: Mitch Mitchem
Join us for a chance to hear from our keynote speaker, Mitch Mitchem, CEO of HIVE Interactive, a company at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence with human skills development.



A straight-talking entrepreneur and tech realist, Mitch has guided his company, HIVE, to train over 27,000 people on AI’s real-world applications, not in theory, but in practice. His insights cut through the hype, revealing how AI is truly affecting jobs, businesses, and everyday people.
Mitch is not a Silicon Valley insider, he’s a hands-on leader who built, operated the CEO, and sold a successful dating app which grew from 0 to 300k users in 11 months, worked in human development for over 15 years, and has spoken at over 2,800 conferences in his career on human development, behavior change, tech, and leadership. He’s seen firsthand that most Americans don’t fear AI, they just don’t trust those designing it or the narrative of replacing all jobs. Instead of blind automation, he advocates for an AI-augmented future where humans keep their agency, thrive at work, control the AI tools, and expand their human experience.
Mitch is also married and a father of four and believes in AI as a competitive advantage for America’s students and workforce if we train people to use it right. His company, HIVE Interactive, helps businesses and individuals harness AI without sacrificing personal freedom, jobs, or common sense.
