The Vonson advantage

Show up. Build trust. Dominate the floor.

01 / Visibility first

Your brand in the room. Not just your inbox in theirs.

Cold sequences are a commodity and enterprise buyers ignore them. Conferences are where your company becomes real to US buyers. We make sure your brand is present, visible, and part of the conversations that shape purchasing decisions, even when your founding team is 9 time zones away.

02 / Prepared, not scripted

Generic staffing reads a one-pager. We go deep on your product.

Your product is complex. We learn your ICP, understand your use cases, and know exactly when a conversation is worth your founder's time. When prospects need technical depth, we set up the call. When they need to understand the business value, we close it on the floor.

03 / You build. We close.

A dedicated 2-person pod. No US hire. No 6-month ramp.

Don't pull your founding team off the product to work a booth for three days. We deploy as your dedicated sales pod so you can stay focused on shipping. Operational from day one, deeply briefed on your product, accountable to your pipeline.

Q2 / 2026 schedule
Jun 29–Jul 02·San Francisco·AI Engineering

AI Engineer World's Fair

The world's largest technical conference for AI engineers and technical leaders.

The opportunity

The largest single concentration of AI engineering leaders, platform teams, and senior decision-makers on the calendar. The audience your enterprise pipeline actually depends on.

The risk of missing it

Four days when the people setting your buyers' technical roadmap are all reachable in one venue. Skip it and you're back to outbound that gets archived without opening.

Jun 15–18·San Francisco·Data Engineering

Databricks Data + AI Summit

20,000 technical decision-makers from the Fortune 500.

The opportunity

The single highest concentration of data and AI buyers anywhere on the calendar. Most arrive with active vendor evaluations already in motion.

The risk of missing it

A four-day window where every relevant buyer is reachable in one building. Skip it and you're back to outbound sequences that get archived without opening.

The Vonson Pod

Two people. Every conversation.

Maxim and Tyler handle every client engagement personally. The quality of a conference conversation depends entirely on the person having it.

Co-Founder · Opener

Tyler Johnson

Turns strangers into warm introductions.

Emmy-winning television host turned conference floor specialist. The instinct that ran a live show — command attention, build trust fast — turns crowded expo floors into warm conversations for Max to close.

Co-Founder · Closer

Maxim Ochev

Turns introductions into pipeline.

Built B2B sales playbooks before most founders had hired their first rep. On the floor, Max brings the technical depth that closes deals — translating your product into the language enterprise buyers recognize, and qualifying every conversation before it lands in your CRM.

What you get back.

Every lead arrives with conversational context. Who we spoke to, what they need, budget signals, and recommended next steps. Not badge scans. Real conversations, documented and CRM-ready.

Rates are flat fees per engagement. Zero commission. Our incentive is pipeline quality, not deal size. Clients cover event admission tickets for our team. Results depend on event quality, product fit, and market conditions.
