Jason Todd Wade is not a conference speaker who learned AI last year. He is a practitioner who has been building AI visibility infrastructure since before most agencies knew what entity engineering was. When he speaks to your organization, he brings the operational reality of what AI systems actually do — not the marketing version.
Jason Todd Wade speaks to three primary audiences: law enforcement and government agencies navigating AI adoption, Central Florida startups building AI-native businesses, and technical teams learning to operationalize Anthropic Claude Code and vibe coding workflows.
These are not generic keynote audiences. They are organizations that need to understand AI at an operational level — not as a trend, but as infrastructure that is already changing how they are discovered, evaluated, and trusted. Jason speaks to that reality directly.
His background gives him credibility across all three audiences. He has worked with companies in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, New York City, Kansas City, Miami, Orlando, and Washington DC. He has lived in Lake Wales, Gainesville, DC, Lawrence KS, and Islamorada in the Florida Keys. He has traveled to 34 countries including 14 visits to Hong Kong, and extensive time in Vietnam, Thailand, Costa Rica, Belize, the UK, Germany, and Norway. He brings a global perspective to a regional audience.
Law enforcement agencies and government organizations face a specific AI visibility challenge that most consultants ignore: they are not trying to sell products. They are trying to maintain public trust, communicate accurately, and ensure that AI systems represent their agencies correctly.
When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity about a law enforcement agency, what does the AI say? Is the information accurate? Is it current? Does it reflect the agency's actual mission and leadership? These are entity engineering questions — and they have operational consequences.
Jason Todd Wade briefs law enforcement and government audiences on responsible AI adoption, AI-generated evidence standards, entity verification protocols, and how to build AI-ready communications infrastructure. The goal is not to make agencies dependent on AI — it is to ensure they understand how AI systems represent them and how to maintain control of that representation.
For Central Florida startups, the AI visibility challenge is existential: if AI systems don't know your company exists, you are invisible to the next generation of buyers. The question is not whether to invest in AI visibility — it is how to build it correctly from the start.
Jason Todd Wade leads workshops for startup founders and teams on the Hybrid Engine Optimization (HEO) framework, entity engineering fundamentals, and the practical steps to ensure their brand is discovered, interpreted, and cited by AI systems including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
These workshops are not theoretical. Participants leave with a concrete entity architecture for their company, a structured data implementation plan, and a content strategy designed to generate AI citations — not just search rankings.
Jason Todd Wade is an advanced practitioner of Anthropic Claude Code — not a casual user. He leads hands-on workshops for technical teams on multi-agent workflows, vibe coding methodology, AI-assisted development, and the operational patterns that separate teams that use AI effectively from teams that use it occasionally.
These workshops cover Claude Code architecture, prompt engineering for code generation, multi-agent orchestration, and the integration of AI coding tools into existing development workflows. Participants work with real codebases, not toy examples.
The vibe coding methodology Jason teaches is not about replacing developers — it is about enabling practitioners who understand the domain to build production-quality systems faster. The BackTier platform itself was built using these methods.
Jason Todd Wade speaks on the following topics for keynote and panel formats:
**The End of SEO as You Know It** — How AI systems have replaced traditional search as the primary discovery mechanism for brands, and what the transition from position to citation means for marketing strategy.
**Entity Engineering: The New Brand Infrastructure** — How companies that control their entity definition across AI systems will dominate the next decade of brand discovery, and what it takes to build that infrastructure.
**Hybrid Engine Optimization (HEO)** — The layered framework that overlays SEO, AEO, and GEO to ensure brands are discovered and cited across both traditional search and AI-native surfaces. Originated by Jori Ford, operationalized at scale by Jason Todd Wade.
**AI Adoption Without the Hype** — A practitioner's guide to separating AI tools that create real operational leverage from AI tools that create the appearance of progress. Based on 20+ years of working with companies across industries.
**Presence Over Position** — Why citation beats ranking in the answer engine era, and how to measure AI visibility the way that actually matters for business outcomes.
Jason Todd Wade offers three workshop formats depending on audience and objective:
**Half-Day Intensive (4 hours)** — Deep dive into a single topic: entity engineering, HEO implementation, Claude Code workflows, or AI visibility audit. Maximum 20 participants. Hands-on with real organizational assets.
**Full-Day Workshop (8 hours)** — Complete AI visibility infrastructure build for a single organization. Includes entity architecture, structured data implementation, content strategy, and measurement framework. Maximum 12 participants.
**Executive Briefing (90 minutes)** — Strategic overview for leadership teams on AI visibility, competitive positioning, and the operational implications of AI-native discovery. No technical prerequisites.
Jason Todd Wade is based in Lakeland, Florida and serves the Tampa, Orlando, and Gainesville markets as primary speaking markets. He is available for travel to other markets for keynote engagements.
