Executive framing: Amanda Buehner says the challenge for engineering leaders is moving from AI experimentation to practical, repeatable applications.
- Platform launch: Arrowfly has launched AI for Engineers, combining a News Desk, annual conference, original research, and an Advisory Board for engineers applying AI.
- Existing audience: More than 30,000 engineering and technical professionals have already engaged with AI content across Arrowfly's portfolio of over 20 engineering brands reaching 2.1 million verified readers.
- Flagship event: The AI for Engineers conference runs September 20 to 22, 2027, in Henderson, Nev., with 700 expected attendees and five discipline-specific tracks.
- Research initiative: The 2027 Outlook of AI study will examine AI adoption across five disciplines, with a report due in Q4 2026 and expectations measured through 2030.
Arrowfly, the Cleveland-based parent company of The Robot Report, has launched AI for Engineers, a resource built for engineers and technical leaders applying artificial intelligence in their work. The platform combines four elements: a dedicated News Desk, a flagship annual conference, original research, and an Advisory Board.
The launch is backed by serious distribution. Arrowfly's network of more than 20 engineering brands reaches 2.1 million verified industry readers, 29 million website visitors, and 1.6 million email subscribers, generating 202 million monthly impressions.
Demand Already in Place
This isn't a speculative bet. More than 30,000 engineering and technical professionals have already engaged with AI topics across Arrowfly's engineering portfolio through webinars, newsletters, and editorial content. The platform formalizes an audience that was already showing up.
"AI is no longer a future-state consideration for engineers. It is a present-tense operational reality across product design, manufacturing, robotics, medtech, and energy," stated Amanda Buehner, senior vice president, sales & strategy, engineering, Arrowfly.
"What we're hearing from engineering leaders is that the challenge isn't whether to adopt AI. It's how to move from experimentation to practical, repeatable applications that deliver results."
That framing — execution over exploration — shapes all four pillars of the initiative.
Conference Set for Henderson
The flagship AI for Engineers conference will take place from September 20 to 22, 2027, at M Resort Spa Casino in Henderson, Nev., just outside Las Vegas. Organizers expect 700 engineers and technical leaders. The program will run five discipline-specific content tracks covering Engineering Design and Automation, Medical Devices and Medtech, Robotics, Energy and Electronics, and Industrial Operations and Smart Manufacturing.
Research and Governance
The research arm launches the 2027 Outlook of AI, a peer-to-peer study spanning five disciplines.
Completing the structure, the AI for Engineers Advisory Board — a council of engineering and technical leaders — will shape the standards, ethics, and best practices of AI in engineering, holding the program's editorial, conference, and research priorities accountable to practitioners.
The Reach Behind It
For solution providers, the platform offers access to an audience spanning organizations including Amazon, NVIDIA, Boeing, Siemens, Medtronic, and Tesla. Arrowfly also produces The Robot Report, RoboBusiness, Automated Warehouse, and the Robotics Summit & Expo. Its proprietary Clara platform provides partners real-time visibility into audience engagement, lead quality, and campaign ROI.
