Artist and the Machine is the leading event series and advisory at the intersection of AI, Creativity, and Humanity. We host elevated, enterprise-level Summits across LA and NY.
Our 2026 calendar spans:
Past stages have featured artists like Grimes, leaders from Adobe, Bloomberg, NVIDIA, Lionsgate, and the technologists building the next wave of creative tools. Our 2026 partners include Adobe (Presenting Creative Partner), Amazon, ElevenLabs, Luma, LTX, Epidemic Sound, Replit, FLORA, OpenArt, frog, Bria, Lovable and Bloomberg (media partner).
We are evolving from a series of standout events into a year-round media and community brand, building the operating infrastructure to scale across summits, dinners, digital products, and new geographies. We're a small, senior, founder-led team of A-players with strong external partnerships, and we move fast. The opportunity is to produce the live experiences that define a category — and to make every show better than the last.
The Summit Producer is the expert who makes sure every production and sponsorship commitment is delivered flawlessly at our live events. You own production end to end — run-of-show, staging, AV, scenic, vendors, and onsite execution — and you sit in the oversight role, directing the external production teams, agencies, and crew who build the show. Above all, you are accountable for ensuring every sponsorship deliverable is met in production: that what was sold gets built on-spec and in excellence, and that no commitment slips. You are the person backstage on a headset making the call when it counts.
This is a hands-on oversight role for a seasoned live-event producer who has run premium, high-stakes shows and knows that the difference between good and unforgettable is in the details. You direct the external production teams, agencies, and vendors who execute the build — you don't do every task yourself, but you stay close enough to the details that nothing slips and you own the outcome regardless of who builds it. You work in close partnership with our CEO, owning how the show actually comes together, how it runs in the room, and how every sponsor activation and branded moment is delivered to the standard that was promised.
You design for repeatability, document your process so each show starts ahead of the last, and you stay composed when something goes sideways — because at a live event, something always does.
