Project Voice X is a special edition of our namesake event - the #1 event for voice tech and AI in America - being held October 25-27 in sunny Destin/Fort Walton Beach.

 

What opportunities have emerged for voice technology and AI, as we enter a new chapter?

What opportunities now lie at the intersection of voice/AI and social audio?

​

Project Voice X marks the return of the in-person conference. 

 

Registration is here.

​

There are three hotels in very close proximity to the venue, all of which sit on the beach. Our preferred hotel is Hilton Garden Inn, but Four Points by Sheraton and a newly-renovated Holiday Inn Resort are also great options.

​

American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and United Airlines all fly into the Destin / Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS), which is a brief 16 mile distance from the convention center. More options are available at the Pensacola International Airport (PNS), located just under an hour from the venue.
