Optional add-on · Charity Golf, November 13 — supporting City of Hope cancer research. More info →
Business Practices, Robotics & Developer Conference. ~100 decision-makers. Two days. Two tracks. One question that matters:
Short site registration required for new visitors.
Three distinct audiences. One focused event. Every session designed around a specific, actionable return for the people in the room.
Track A: Data Intelligence Business Practices
Interactive roundtables · Real-world case studies · No vendor pitchesTrack B: Robotics
Business-focused · Live demonstrations · Dealer case studiesWelcome arrival — check in, connect with tabletop exhibitors and fellow attendees.
Setting the stage: why this moment matters for the traditional imaging community and the emerging robotics ecosystem.
A business-first keynote connecting document intelligence, AI, and robotics to the operational realities of organizations in the room. Where are organizations seeing real ROI from automation? What does it cost to delay?
Open standards aren't just a technical choice — they're a strategic business decision. Unified interoperability across devices, platforms, and software reduces fragmentation, cuts hidden costs, and unlocks new opportunities for efficiency and innovation. This session explores what organizations gain when systems truly work together, and what they risk when they don't, framed for decision-makers, not engineers.
Open, moderated discussion with TWAIN Working Group leadership on the TWAIN and twAIn Robotics roadmap, emerging use cases, and community priorities. Attendees help shape the standard.
Multiple federal initiatives and agencies encourage or prefer open, non-proprietary, and interoperable systems for procurement, cybersecurity, and AI governance. Discover how stable, community-supported standards for AI agents, hardware, and systems create trust, ensure consistent operations, and drive efficiency, avoiding the risks of proprietary, siloed technology. Learn practical frameworks to manage AI-driven automation while maintaining auditability, regulatory alignment, and enterprise-wide reliability.
Brief orientation to the two Day 2 tracks so attendees can plan their day.
Networking reception — tabletop exhibits open, drinks and light fare.
Updates from TWAIN Working Group leadership on milestones, certifications, and the roadmap ahead.
Day 2 delivers deep, targeted content across two concurrent tracks. If you are part of the data intelligence community, Track A is your home base. If you are exploring the robotics channel opportunity, Track B is designed for you. Both tracks reconvene for the Day 2 closing Developer Showcase. Each track features a dedicated moderator, is structured as interactive roundtables, and includes real-world end user case studies.
Real-world TWAIN Direct use cases — what to deploy, what works, what you should know, and the business impact.
A practical session for IG professionals: what AI can automate in records management, where human oversight is non-negotiable, and how document capture standards protect compliance. No technical background required.
An analyst-led session on what organizations spend in time, money, and risk when systems don't speak to each other — and how TWAIN Direct addresses that. Practical guidance for evaluating technology investments.
How C2PA standards, blockchain-based tokenization, and TWAIN-certified capture workflows protect document integrity. Relevant for compliance officers managing AI-generated content risks.
End users present their real challenges; vendors respond. Direct feedback for the vendor community; real-world visibility for end users into available solutions. Learn what motivated their decisions, how they implemented, and best practices for maintaining these systems.
Keypoint Intelligence presents their lab testing and certification programs — what it tests, what certified products deliver, and why buyers should require it. Live certification demonstration.
The expertise, relationships, and service infrastructure that powered the managed print industry are the very foundation for success in the robotics and autonomous mobile robot (AMR) market. This session offers a clear, accessible look at how robots are being deployed, supported, and monetized, showing how businesses can drive operational efficiency while creating entirely new revenue opportunities.
Analyst overview of the AMR and office robotics market — projected growth, current adoption, and how the MFP/copier dealer channel is positioned as the primary service and distribution network for office-ready robots.
A copier/MFP dealer shares their experience entering the robotics market: motivation, lessons learned, business model, and results. Moderated Q&A.
An accessible overview of the twAIn Robotics open-source billing API — Cost-Per-Task, Cost-Per-Time, Cost-Per-Linear-Foot, Robot Work Units. How standardized billing enables dealers and MSPs to manage mixed robot fleets the same way they manage print fleets.
Live demonstrations of office-ready robots, including the DCA/r (Data Collection Agent for Robots) from Crickets Continuum and the twAIn Robotics API in action. Moderated Q&A.
An organization that has deployed autonomous mobile robots shares their experience: selection criteria, integration challenges, ROI achieved, and what they would do differently. Buyer/user perspective, not a vendor pitch.
How Robotics-as-a-Service pricing, usage-based billing, and leasing structures make robots accessible to mid-market organizations — and how dealers can structure offers their customers can say yes to.
Open discussion on the twAIn Robotics standards roadmap, the CORR certification program, and what it takes to build a channel that can sell, service, and support robots at scale.
See solution demonstrations built on TWAIN Direct and the twAIn Robotics API. All tracks reconvene.

Stay one more day and play for a cause. TWAIN Converge has joined forces with the Executive Connection Summit — ECS East — for a charity golf tournament benefiting City of Hope cancer research and compassionate care. It doubles as The Great Reunion: Law Cypress Distributing and NewWave alumni, partners, and friends back on the course together.
The format is an eighteen-hole scramble with prizes and giveaways throughout the day. Rental clubs are available at the venue, so guests travelling without equipment can still play. Schedules and further details will be announced to participants.
An 18-hole scramble at a private course in the Tampa area. Relaxed, team-based, and built for fast-paced play.
