From the inaugural ELEVATE Small Business Growth Summit featuring Google, TikTok, Gary Vaynerchuk and Codie Sanchez, to a global AI Builder Tour spanning 10 cities and four continents, Bluehost is bringing together entrepreneurs, technology leaders and AI innovators to turn AI into real business growth.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bluehost, the small business platform for the AI era, today announced a global series of events bringing together entrepreneurs, technology leaders and AI builders to help small businesses move beyond AI hype and put AI to work to build, grow and run their businesses.

The initiative brings together two complementary communities shaping the future of small businesses. On Nov. 10, Bluehost’s inaugural ELEVATE Small Business Growth Summit will help entrepreneurs and small business owners discover practical ways to use AI to build, grow and run their businesses. In parallel, the company’s Small Business AI Builder Tour will connect founders, developers and AI innovators across 10 cities and four continents to showcase new ideas, collaborate with experts and turn AI-powered projects into real-world solutions.

Despite growing awareness of AI, adoption beyond general-purpose chat remains limited. Bluehost’s recent State of Small Business AI Confidence study found that only 16% of surveyed U.S. small business owners had deployed an AI agent. Closing that gap by helping businesses move beyond asking AI questions and transitioning to use AI for marketing, customer discovery, growth and everyday operations is a central focus of Bluehost’s global events and community programs.

“AI is giving small businesses capabilities that once required much larger teams and budgets,” said Sachin Puri, Chief Executive Officer of Newfold Digital, parent company of Bluehost. “But access to AI alone isn’t enough. The real opportunity is helping entrepreneurs put it to work, to build, grow and run their businesses. By bringing together small business owners, technology leaders and AI builders, we’re turning AI’s promise into practical outcomes.”

Bluehost ELEVATE Small Business Growth Summit
Taking place virtually on Nov. 10, 2026, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET, ELEVATE is a free global summit focused on helping entrepreneurs apply emerging technology to real business challenges. Bluehost will also host local gatherings in San Francisco, Austin and New York, giving small business communities an opportunity to experience the program and connect in person.

Built around three themes, Build, Grow and Run, the program will explore how small businesses can establish and strengthen their digital presence, get discovered and reach more customers, and use AI and automation to operate more effectively.

ELEVATE will feature entrepreneurs and bestselling authors Gary Vaynerchuk, CEO of VaynerMedia, and Codie Sanchez, founder of Contrarian Thinking. Their perspectives on business ownership, marketing and growth reach millions worldwide, and Vaynerchuk’s fireside conversation with Newfold Digital CEO Sachin Puri, will be the summit’s finale.

The lineup also includes Brendan Jacobsen, Global Head of Channel Sales at TikTok; Farhaz Karmali, Product Director at Google; Sachin Puri, CEO of Newfold Digital; Salim Ali, CMO of Bluehost; and Satish Hemachandran, CPO of Bluehost, along with small business owners and additional industry experts.

The ELEVATE Small Business Growth Summit will combine keynotes, conversations, demonstrations and practical guidance that attendees can apply directly to their businesses.

Bluehost AI Builder Tour: Connecting Global AI Communities to Advance Small Business Innovation
Bluehost is bringing together AI builders, developers, founders and engineers across 10 cities and four continents through its Small Business AI Builder Tour, supporting a growing global community of innovators building AI-powered websites, applications, agents and automations.

Partnering with established global AI communities, including AI Tinkerers and AI Camp, Bluehost is collaborating with local builders and community leaders to deliver hands-on experiences that foster knowledge-sharing, collaboration and innovation. Community experts will lead breakout discussions and “Unblock Your Build” sessions, offering participants practical guidance on technical challenges to help advance their projects.

Each event will feature live project showcases, interactive build sessions and expert feedback to help participants take ideas and prototypes closer to launch. The tour also creates opportunities for builders to develop relationships with fellow innovators and the broader AI ecosystem.

QUINCY, Mass., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Power LNG Ventures has selected Cashman Preload Cryogenics (CPC), an affiliate of Jay Cashman, Inc., as its LNG tank partner for Project Seawolf, a marine LNG fueling facility on Pelican Island in Galveston, Texas. CPC will engineer the project’s 3-million-gallon full-containment LNG storage tank through development, permitting and financing.

The tank combines a precast, prestressed concrete outer wall with a 9% nickel steel inner tank and a steel dome roof. CPC’s concrete design delivers proven reliability and safety while optimizing cost and schedule. CPC will work with the Project Seawolf team to integrate the tank into the full facility design.

“Power LNG is building critical marine fueling infrastructure at the Port of Galveston,” said Eric Reaman, President & CEO of CPC. “We know what it takes to develop these assets. We’re glad to be on the team at this stage, and we’ll be ready when the project moves to construction.”

Project Seawolf is being developed on approximately 30 acres of port-owned property. Initial production is 400,000 gallons per day, scalable to 800,000 gallons per day as demand grows. The facility will supply LNG to cruise ships and cargo vessels in the Port of Galveston and the Houston Ship Channel, meeting growing demand for lower-emission marine fuel. The project is targeted to enter service by the end of 2028.

“We reviewed the tank technology options for full-containment storage and selected CPC as our tank partner,” said Austin Terry, CEO of Power LNG Ventures. “CPC brings deep experience designing, permitting and building LNG tanks of this size. This selection reflects our commitment to the project, to operational safety and to best-in-class partners.”

On November 17 and 19, Michael Roy will discuss E Tech Group’s work to modernize a GMP-critical building management control system at a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in the Greater Boston area utilizing Rockwell’s PlantPAx. E Tech Group will exhibit at Booth #745.

WEST CHESTER, Ohio, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — E Tech Group, a leading provider of industrial automation and systems integration, 2025 System Integrator of the Year, and Platinum-certified Rockwell Automation Partner, today announced that Michael Roy of E Tech Group will present on modernization of building management systems in GMP-critical environments at Automation Fair 2026 by Rockwell Automation, taking place November 16–19 at the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

Roy’s Partner Solutions session, “PS21 – Modernizing GMP-Critical Building Management in Pharmaceutical Facilities,” will take place Tuesday, November 17, at 1:00 p.m. ET and Thursday, November 19, at 10:00 a.m. ET in 253C.

The presentation will examine E Tech Group’s work to modernize aging air handler controls across validated production areas at a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in the Greater Boston area. Because the building management system (BMS) supports GMP-critical environments, the project required careful planning to update the control architecture while maintaining facility operations and meeting stringent reliability, data integrity and compliance requirements.

E Tech Group implemented a fully redundant PlantPAx-based BMS architecture that addressed the immediate modernization need while establishing a scalable framework that could be applied to future system upgrades across the facility. During the session, Roy will discuss the engineering considerations behind the approach, including redundancy, network design, validation and cutover planning, and how the initial implementation established a foundation for subsequent BMS modernization.

“Modernizing a GMP-critical system requires careful planning to protect the conditions the facility depends on every day,” said Roy. “For this project, we wanted to address the immediate need while creating an approach that could be expanded as additional systems are upgraded across the facility.”

Roy is a Principal Engineering Manager at E Tech Group with nearly a decade of experience in automation and electrical engineering. He brings extensive expertise in technical project leadership, business development, and delivering innovative automation solutions.

At Booth #745, attendees can meet with Roy and E Tech Group engineers and life sciences specialists to discuss validated automation, controls modernization and scalable system architectures for regulated manufacturing environments. Visitors can also stop by the booth for a demonstration of SecureOT™, Rockwell Automation’s industrial cybersecurity solution suite, and see how greater visibility into OT assets and network activity can help uncover potential areas of concern and support a more proactive cybersecurity strategy.

E Tech Group supports pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other regulated manufacturers with automation and system integration expertise spanning building management and process control systems, manufacturing execution systems (MES), compliance services and digital transformation. Its engineers help organizations modernize validated systems while addressing integration, reliability and long-term scalability requirements.
