The AI for Business Summit has announced its featured speaker lineup for the upcoming free three-day virtual event scheduled for Friday, April 17 through Sunday, April 19, 2026. The summit will take place live via Zoom from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time each day. Founded by Francis Ablola, a four-time Inc. 5000 honoree and CEO of Real Advisors Inc., the event brings together experienced business practitioners and AI specialists to deliver hands-on training for entrepreneurs, small business owners, coaches, and consultants looking to integrate artificial intelligence into their operations and marketing.

Each speaker has been selected based on documented business results and real-world experience applying AI tools within functioning companies. Brian Hanson, a senior business strategist at Real Advisors, will lead sessions on AI-powered sales systems, conversion optimization, and strategic business growth. Hanson brings years of experience building and scaling revenue-generating frameworks for businesses across multiple industries. Bernard Ablola, a LinkedIn growth specialist, will present strategies that have generated more than one million dollars in free advertising exposure and over 250,000 organic clicks through the LinkedIn platform alone. His sessions will focus on how business owners can leverage LinkedIn as a lead generation engine using AI-assisted content and outreach.

Dolmar Cross, co-founder of Real Advisors and star of the A&E television series Zombie House Flipping Tampa, will deliver a special keynote session. Cross is a seasoned real estate professional with more than one thousand successful transactions and over a decade of industry experience. At the summit, he will share the Instagram viral marketing strategies that took him from online influencer to television screens across America. Keisha Cross, co-star of Zombie House Flipping Tampa and an accomplished digital content strategist and ghostwriter, will also present. Over the past decade, she has worked behind the scenes with some of the largest content creators in the online space. Her session will focus on how to take the message inside your head and turn it into a mission that creates meaningful connections and impacts others.

The three-day agenda moves attendees from foundational AI implementation to advanced business application. Day one focuses on AI-powered digital marketing, including paid advertising, funnel construction, and campaign automation. Day two features the keynote from Dolmar Cross along with LinkedIn lead generation and brand strategy sessions. Day three covers content creation, messaging frameworks, and business automation systems. All sessions include live demonstrations and interactive question-and-answer segments. No prior experience with artificial intelligence is required.

"The goal of this summit has always been the same — give business owners the tools and strategies they can use immediately," said Francis Ablola, founder of the AI for Business Summit. "Every speaker on this stage runs a real business and uses these systems every day. That is what makes this event different." More than 59,000 professionals have attended previous AI for Business events.
