Open call for Tech Summit presenters at ACE 2026

Hey everyone! 👋

We're gearing up for ACE in Miami, and that means we're also prepping for our first Tech Summit of 2026 (April 13th)! Just like past Tech Summits, the agenda will be a mix of community-led content, technical product news, and open group discussions. However, we are also trying something new with this event. This time, we're running an open call for presentations instead of directly inviting a handful of individuals to speak.

We've also added a shorter "lightning talk" format - perfect for bite-sized content or new speakers who may want to try presenting for the first time.

  • Lightning Talk (5 min) - Quick tips, techniques, or small demos. No slides, no Q&A.
  • Live Demo (15 min) - Walk through a use case or show how to build something. Two slides max, includes time for questions.

If you've built something with Aras Innovator, solved a tricky problem, or learned something useful while working on a project, this is a perfect opportunity to share it with the community. To submit your proposal, email me at [email protected] with a title, short description, and which format you're interested in. Deadline is February 27.

For more information, check out this recent Labs blog post with all the details: Aras Builders! Share Your Expertise at the ACE 2026 Tech Summit

Looking forward to seeing what you've been working on! And please don't hesitate to reach out here or via email with any questions.

  • The Lightning Talk would probably be the perfect format for my famous "worlds first PLM app with a laser shooting ninja". 😄

    I hope people submit some cool ideas - or save them for the Europe events.
