— Matt Cretzman, founder of Stormbreaker Digital and AI agent systems builder, has been selected as a featured workshop presenter at the MPI DFW Education Day 2026, taking place April 16 at The Statler Hotel in Dallas.
Cretzman will lead two sessions of his AI Workshop: Stump the Expert, an interactive format where attendees challenge him live with real-world questions about AI tools, applications, and strategy. Sessions are scheduled for 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. and 1:15 to 2:00 p.m. as part of the event’s breakout programming.
The event theme, Playing on a Global Field: The Blueprint for What’s Next, brings together hospitality industry professionals from the Dallas and Fort Worth region to explore emerging trends and strategies shaping the future of meetings and events. The format was designed for practitioners who want direct answers rather than theory, making the Stump the Expert format a natural fit.
“AI is transforming how every industry operates, and hospitality is no exception. But here’s what most AI conversations miss: the real competitive advantage isn’t which tool is used — it’s whether the AI knows what the user knows. Meeting planners, suppliers, and event professionals have decades of hard-won expertise. The question attendees should walk out with is how to put that expertise to work inside the AI tools they’re already using.”
— Matt Cretzman, Founder, Stormbreaker Digital
The sessions are expected to draw particular interest from meeting planners and hospitality suppliers looking to move beyond generic AI use cases toward tools that reflect their specific industry knowledge and client relationships.
Cretzman is the founder of nine companies spanning AI agent systems, legal technology, EdTech, and B2B SaaS. Through Stormbreaker Digital, he designs and deploys autonomous AI agent teams that handle marketing, sales development, SEO, and operations for B2B companies. He also serves as fractional CMO for companies in manufacturing, healthcare, and technology.
Cretzman co-authored The LinkedIn Advantage with executive coach Tony Jeary, has built a LinkedIn following of over 70,000, and has generated more than $3 million in revenue through LinkedIn strategies. More information is available at mattcretzman.com.
MPI Dallas Fort Worth is the local chapter of Meeting Professionals International, one of the largest associations in the meetings and events industry.
