James Ferrer speaks on AI agents,
operations, and what comes next.

Talks

What James speaks on

Each talk is built around real deployments — not case studies, not projections. What is actually working, and why it matters to your audience right now.

Workshop / Breakout

From Chatbot to Operator: Deploying AI That Actually Works

The graveyard of failed AI projects is full of chatbots that answered FAQs and pilots that never shipped. This talk is about the difference between a demo and a deployed system — the infrastructure choices, the failure modes, and the human decisions that determine whether AI agents actually run your business or just run in a PowerPoint.

Southeast Asia's AI Advantage: Why the Next Wave Starts Here

Thailand's AI market is growing at 28% annually and is projected to reach ฿114 billion by 2030. The largest manufacturers, real estate developers, and consumer brands in the region are sitting on data they've never used. This talk covers why Southeast Asia is uniquely positioned to skip a generation of AI adoption and go straight to production-grade AI operations.

Speaker Bio

About James

James Ferrer — AI keynote speaker

James Ferrer is a nuclear physicist, serial entrepreneur, and one of the few AI practitioners who has actually run a factory on software. He built three technology companies, shipping products to 79 countries and running a full manufacturing facility through custom software before AI agents existed as a category.

He is the founder of Express AI, an AI operations firm that deploys AI agent systems for businesses worldwide. He specializes in OpenClaw and NVIDIA NemoClaw — the infrastructure layer that turns AI models into AI employees that do real work inside real businesses.

His background spans ERP implementation, ISO 9001 quality management, supply chain operations, and enterprise software. He has been deploying AI agents in production since the technology was buildable, not just theoretically interesting.

James speaks from experience that most AI speakers cannot claim: he has made the mistakes, solved the problems, and has the production deployments to prove it.
