BMA Conventions brings manufacturing executives and AI automation leaders together in Dallas as major Texas robotics investments accelerate factory transformation.

DALLAS, TEXAS, October 22, 2026

A new Texas construction filing has put the growing scale of America’s robotics manufacturing ambitions into sharp focus. Registered on October 19, the filing describes a 1.2 million-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility in Austin and estimates $100 million for the project’s core-and-shell construction phase.

The filing, listed as Project Toaster in Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation records, identifies office, factory, casting and central utility plant areas. It lists a planned construction start of November 16, 2026, and an anticipated completion date of July 13, 2027. The $100 million figure covers the registered construction scope, not the total cost of the broader Amazon development.

Amazon announced its planned Austin robotics manufacturing expansion in August, describing a multibillion-dollar development that is expected to create 300 to 500 manufacturing and engineering jobs. The company says the facility will produce robotic systems designed to assist employees with repetitive tasks and heavy lifting.

A Bigger Shift Is Taking Shape on the Factory Floor

The significance goes beyond a single building. As manufacturers invest in robotics, computer vision, predictive systems and connected equipment, the challenge is shifting from identifying promising technologies to making them deliver measurable results in everyday operations.

For plant and operations leaders, that means integrating automation with existing production lines, protecting uptime, ensuring safety, securing industrial data and developing the skills teams need to work confidently with advanced equipment.

Texas is seeing investment across advanced industrial sectors. On October 8, Blue Origin announced a manufacturing and operations campus in Hutto backed by approximately $554.8 million in capital investment and expected to create more than 2,000 jobs. The Blue Origin and Amazon developments are independent projects, but both underscore the scale of industrial investment taking shape in the state.

From aerospace and electronics to automotive, food and beverage, fabricated metals and industrial equipment, a common question is emerging: How can manufacturers deploy AI and automation without losing sight of quality, safety, workforce readiness and return on investment?

BMA Conventions Brings the Discussion to Dallas

Against this backdrop, BMA Conventions will host the Smart Manufacturing & AI Automation Convention 2027 from February 23 to 25, 2027, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Dallas – Richardson in the Dallas area.

The invitation-only convention is designed for senior manufacturing executives, plant leaders, operations and engineering professionals, technology decision-makers and selected industrial solution providers seeking practical ways to improve performance.

Its discussion themes include advanced robotics, industrial AI, predictive maintenance, machine vision, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), connected production systems, factory cybersecurity and workforce transformation.

Rather than focusing on robotics as a headline, the program will examine real questions: Which applications can reduce downtime? How should plants connect new technologies to legacy systems? What does responsible, scalable deployment look like across multiple facilities?

From Industry Headlines to Real Business Decisions

Technology investment becomes meaningful only when it translates into safer operations, stronger productivity, improved reliability and a measurable business case.

BMA’s format combines leadership panels and expert sessions with curated peer discussions, one-on-one meetings and networking between manufacturing decision-makers and solution partners.

The convention opens on February 23 with exhibitor setup and networking activities, continues on February 24 with its core conference program, and concludes on February 25 with additional sessions and scheduled one-on-one meetings.

As Texas continues attracting advanced manufacturing investment, Dallas provides a timely setting for conversations about what it takes to turn industrial innovation into day-to-day operating performance.

Luke Davis will make the case to his self-managed investing community that AI agents, stablecoins and decentralized finance are already working in tandem

Dubai, UAE

AI agents are starting to search, compare and buy on people’s behalf, and they will need a way to pay for what they buy.

Luke Davis, Founder and Chief Market Strategist of Bull Market Blueprint (BMB), believes crypto already has much of what they need. He will present this view at BMB’s members-only summit in London. Around 30 members are expected to attend, all self-managed investors with investable portfolios of at least $100,000.

Davis will open the day with a keynote on where crypto and artificial intelligence meet. He will cover agentic commerce, where AI agents make purchases for users, and how it fits with stablecoin networks and decentralized finance (DeFi).

“Crypto was building the financial infrastructure for an AI-driven economy long before that economy began to take shape,” said Davis. “Now, as AI agents begin transacting autonomously, existing blockchain networks and stablecoins could become the financial rails powering an entirely new era of digital commerce.”

The keynote builds on the picture Davis painted at BMB’s previous summit in Barcelona over the summer, where he set out what he thinks the world will look like in five to 10 years with AI. In London, he will focus on the ways the two technologies intersect.

Revisiting the Intelligent New World

Davis will also present an updated version of his Intelligent New World thesis, looking at what has changed over the past quarter, what has been validated and what still needs to be.

The day will include a session on portfolio construction and risk management. Members will continue with community activities around London on Sunday, November 22.

Journalists interested in attending the summit or arranging an interview with Davis can contact the media representative below.

San Francisco, USA, October 22, 2026

• Two automated strategies bring rules-based approaches long used in professional equity markets to non-expert investors.
• Investment decisions driven by data, not sentiment, ensuring customers don’t miss the trades that matter.
• Independently backtested over five years, the flagship Momentum Strategy delivered 32.9% average annual historical returns a year*, while softening the market’s worst decline by around 40%.
• Completely secure set-up, with funds remaining inside user accounts and no lock-in periods.

Uphold, the infrastructure provider for on-chain finance, today launches investing on autopilot with two automated, always-on, data-driven strategies that run entirely inside a user’s Uphold account. At launch, customers can choose between two strategies: the Momentum Strategy and the Big10 Strategy.

The Momentum Strategy invests across the ten largest crypto assets by market capitalization, excluding stablecoins. It scores each eligible asset on momentum measures and holds only those showing the strongest and most consistent momentum. When an asset’s momentum fades, the strategy moves that part of the portfolio into cash. This ensures that customers hold assets moving towards a higher fair value and avoid those heading lower.

The Big10 Strategy gives customers full, always-invested exposure to the market’s current leaders. It holds the ten largest digital assets by market capitalization, excluding stablecoins, weighted by their market capitalization, and rebalances as the market changes.

“Most of the gains in crypto come from a handful of trades each year,” said Simon McLoughlin, CEO of Uphold. “The Momentum Strategy is built to be there for those moments, without you having to decide which asset to buy or sell next. Decisions are driven by data rather than sentiment, using momentum investing, one of the longest-established approaches in finance.”

Uphold refined the Momentum Strategy against five years of real market data, including the 2022 crash, with input from its trading team. Independently backtested from 2021 to 2025, the Momentum Strategy returns averaged 32.9%* a year. During market sell-offs, it moved holdings into cash, softening the market’s worst decline by around 40%.

“We’re bringing approaches long used in traditional finance to everyday crypto investors,” said Nancy Beaton, President Consumer. “These strategies answer the two questions that matter most: what to buy and when to trade. They run automatically, so people don’t have to watch the market or time it themselves.”

Importantly, everything runs inside Uphold: there are no third-party bots and no API keys, so nothing else ever gets access to the account. This ensures users can automate their trading without exposing themselves to additional unwanted security risks from third-party operators.

Getting started is simple: choose the amount, choose the strategy, turn it on. Strategies are funded in U.S. dollars, with no lock-ups and no withdrawal penalties. Customers can top up or withdraw to USD at any time, and their money never leaves their Uphold account.

Autopilot strategies will also be available to Uphold’s Enterprise customers, who access the capabilities of the Uphold platform via APIs, enabling them to launch digital asset services in months rather than years.
