Vsimple, the AI-powered platform transforming business operations, today announced it will host the inaugural AI Summit at Lynn Family Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky on September 16, 2025. 

The invite-only event will bring together leaders from universities, governmental organizations, businesses, and the larger community to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming legacy industries and to discuss strategies for adoption that can elevate the region’s profile as a hub for innovation, particularly in the manufacturing and distribution sectors. 

Buddy Bockweg, founder and CEO of Vsimple, will be giving a keynote speech, in addition to John Arnott, CEO of C1M and Managing Partner of AI Architects. John is an AI business solutions expert, and will provide insight into how leaders can bolster efficiency and reshape their businesses.

“AI adoption among businesses in this region is paramount to Louisville’s future as a hub for innovation,” Founder and CEO of Vsimple Buddy Bockweg said. “By moving our operations here, we’re able to build closer relationships with decision makers and build a support system for businesses ready to adopt emerging technologies. These industries are the backbone of America, and modernizing legacy processes through AI is critical to fielding growth. This is the first of what will be many AI Summit’s across North America, offering a forum to help business owners empower their operations for the future.” 

The 2025 AI Summit from Vsimple is the first in a series the company plans to replicate across North America. The event aims to provide a forum for leaders in legacy industries to address the challenges of today’s technology arms race, share best practices and learn from one another to accelerate adoption that can transform business operations and drive greater efficiency. 

“The AI Summit comes at a crucial moment when adopting emerging technologies to replace legacy processes is no longer optional, its table stakes for growth and competitiveness across all sectors,” Arnott said. “I’m looking forward to discussing how emerging technologies can be implemented effectively in these industries and connecting with the leaders powering Louisville’s future.” 

Vsimple recently relocated their headquarters to Louisville, investing $5 million to create nearly 200 jobs. Their relocation was heralded at a press conference with Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg and Louisville Economic Development Alliance CEO Trevor Pawl last month. 

The event will be located at 350 Adams St, Louisville, KY 40206, and begin at 1 p.m. ET.
