Mind & Machine DFW: AI for Business Leaders - June 18, 2026

One Year In. Things Are About To Get Weird. 🎉

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of Mind and Machine DFW, we’re bringing one of the most entertaining shows in AI into the real world.

Hosted by David Cohen, The Superposition Game Show is a live interactive experience where AI founders, strategists, operators, and ecosystem leaders compete in a series of progressively more chaotic games while unpacking the very human side of working in AI.

Part conversation. Part competition. Part-controlled disaster.

And honestly? That’s exactly why people love it.

This special LIVE edition blends audience participation, hot takes on the current AI landscape, collaborative problem-solving, and design-thinking-inspired challenges that reveal how today’s leaders are actually approaching AI adoption, innovation, and execution inside real organizations.

Whether you’re deep in AI already or just trying to make sense of where business and technology are heading next, this event is designed to be insightful, approachable, and ridiculously fun to watch.

• Interactive audience participation
• Fast-paced games and live challenges
• Honest conversations about the state of AI
• Design-thinking-powered collaboration
• Practical frameworks for AI ideation and project scoping
• A room full of curious, smart, forward-thinking people

At Mind and Machine, we believe AI works best when humans stay at the center.

Human + Machine.
