AI at the core: MarketBeat sponsors AiEdge Summit to empower regional businesses

Oct. 16, 2024

Automate Everything. It’s MarketBeat’s first core value and the foundation of the company’s success, helping a staff of 18 fully serve the business’ more than 5 million email subscribers.

“I have used technology automation since starting MarketBeat,” founder Matt Paulson said. “This company would not have grown to this level without the efficiencies AI brings to our team and the products we provide to our subscribers.”

It’s why MarketBeat is one of the primary sponsors of the AiEdge Summit, hoping to help share the benefits this technology can have for the growth of all businesses in the state.

“AI is rapidly reshaping almost every industry, and it’s happening fast,” said Andy Jorgensen, founder of the AiEdge Summit.

Jorgensen started the AiEdge Summit last year, bringing together more than 200 people from around the region to learn how to incorporate AI into their businesses and daily workflows.

“We want to gather great minds in the AI space and build a regional community of leaders and businesses that are on the cutting edge of this technology,” he said.

The AiEdge Summit features several nationally renowned speakers who will share innovative ways organizations can implement AI. Keynoter Michael Housman is a world-renowned AI expert who has consulted for companies such as Sony, Barclays and American Express.

There will also be hands-on workshops for people who want to walk away from the event with experience they can use immediately.

“AI has become a game-changer in my day-to-day work at MarketBeat by assisting in coding, data analysis and content generation,” said Ryan Quam, principal engineer.

Quam is continuing to hone his AI skills through his work on the company’s website and email newsletter. It has been such a valuable tool in his professional life that Quam also has explored how to implement the time-saving tech into his personal life. He said AI has been a huge help in effortlessly managing his busy family of four’s schedules.

“It’s something as simple as taking a picture of our kids’ extracurricular schedule and having AI auto-import it into my Google Calendar,” Quam said.

From small daily personal uses to large-scale business applications at companies like American Express, Michael Housman, the founder of Ai-cellerator at Singularity University and keynote speaker for the AiEdge Summit, will explore how AI can transform both your personal life and business trajectory.

The event takes place Oct. 24 at the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Sioux Falls. Tickets can be purchased at aiedgesummit.com. The code MARKETBEAT-AI can be used to receive early-bird pricing for the event.
