Speaker: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayohdev/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayohdev/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Andrew Hewitt </a>is the Founder and CEO of YohDev, a web development studio based in Winston-Salem, NC. YohDev helps businesses and agencies build production-grade web infrastructure — the kind that's ready for AI before it's needed, not after it breaks. Andrew also founded Triad Dev Connect, a developer community bringing together builders, founders, and technologists across North Carolina. He speaks at the intersection of web technology, AI readiness, and the real-world gap between what demos promise and what production systems deliver. Description: The way people find information is changing faster than most websites can keep up. AI-powered search, answer engines, and content tools aren't coming — they're already here, and they're reshaping how your audience discovers, evaluates, and trusts the websites they land on. This session breaks down what it actually means to build and maintain an AI-enabled website... and how to audit where yours stands today. Whether you manage a website for a client, run your own business, or build sites professionally, this is the framework you need to get ahead of the shift. We'll cover AI visibility (can AI tools find and understand your content?), AI usability (can AI agents and content editors actually work with your site?), and AI accessibility that allows tools to scan and audit sites automatically (do you know where the gaps are before your competitors do?) Key Points:<ul><li>What "AI-enabled" actually means for websites in 2026 (and why it's not about chatbots)</li><li>AEO, GEO, and the new search landscape — how AI is changing how people find you</li><li>How to make your CMS work with AI tools your team already uses</li><li>How to audit your site's AI readiness in three dimensions: visibility, usability, and accessibility</li><li>Walk away with an understanding and a path forward to start to transform your website to be ready for AI!</li></ul>
