AES Is Moving From Pitch To Production
The event is October 13–15 at Atlanta Marriott Marquis. ForgeFX has booth 214, upgraded to 10×20 at the 10×10 price. Greg and Devin are slated for setup; Greg, Devin, Mary, and Jonathan are the main named attendees.

The team is pursuing developer credit for project examples, a ForgeFX portfolio page, and a case study.
The presentation blueprint, 19-slide ForgeFX strawman, and video shot list are active. Teardown ownership still needs confirmation.

New source added: Kristen flagged the AES section in Marketing Team Meeting Deck 2026 as useful current context. ForgeFX declined the proposed $10,000 moderator-session fee and is waiting to see whether the slot becomes free.
