Musical Gueat
Tristen & Delaney
From the iconic Hollywood "Whisky A Go Go" to the prestigious Boston City Hall Plaza, Tristen & Delaney have left a trail of awe-inspiring performances across the nation. With well over 200 million views on social media, appearances on Season 20 of American Idol, and a performance with the legendary Stevie Wonder that landed them on national TV again on the Tamron Hall Show, their original music is getting a lot of attention.
But it's not just about the venues they've graced, video likes, or the crowds they've moved, it's about their deep passion they bring to every chord and lyric. These two aren't just musicians, they're artists, pouring their souls into their craft and creating stories that stick. When you have the joined forces of this Massachusetts and Alabama duo, it's truly a special experience.
Speaker
Mike Delucia
Mike DeLucia helps business leaders answer the question most of them are asking right now: AI is changing my industry, so what do I actually do about it?
Mike is the founder of Bantam Digital, a Pasadena-based consultancy that acts as a fractional technology and AI leader for mid-sized companies. His approach is simple. Technology either creates drag on a business or creates lift, and his job is to remove the first and build the second. That means fixing a process before automating it, and measuring success in time saved, costs cut, and friction removed, not in tools installed.
Before founding Bantam, Mike spent 20 years at Western Asset Management, a $240 billion global investment manager, where he led a technology team of more than 40 people across seven locations. His teams delivered the systems that sales and client service relied on every day. Their work made client information more reliable, made daily work faster for the people using it, and modernized the firm's technology so it could change as the business did.
