Pantheon's First User Conference Shows Web Leaders How to Move Fast and Stay in Control with AI

MIAMI – October 5, 2026 – Pantheon.io, the platform for helping professional teams create, run, and evolve the sites that matter, will host /GoLive 2026, its first-ever user conference, on October 6–7 at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel. /GoLive brings together the developers, marketers, and agencies who refuse to choose between speed and control when it comes to running the web in the AI era.

AI has made code and content creation faster and cheaper, opening the door for more people and agents to contribute than ever before. At the same time, it’s changed how people discover information online and surfaced security vulnerabilities at a pace IT teams struggle to match. The challenge for web teams is no longer how fast they can create, but whether what they ship is secure, accessible, on brand, and production-ready — at scale, every time.

“The theme of /GoLive’26 is ‘Beyond the Vibe.’ At Pantheon, we believe that for businesses that matter, software that matters, applications that matter, and websites that matter, AI works best when humans remain in control. AI speed is powerful, but speed without control is a liability waiting to happen in production. The tools that enable people to move faster while staying in control will win the web. At Pantheon, we’re a company of practitioners, and we invest like one—across Product, Design, and Engineering—to evolve the platform, strengthen the core product, and create new products and innovations. We believe we win as a community, and at /GoLive, we’ll share the fruits of that work with you,” said Sameer Kazi, CEO of Pantheon.

Keynotes and featured sessions

The conference opens with a keynote from Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic, on what’s happening in AI right now and why it matters. Thompson will also moderate a fireside chat, "The New Age of the Web," with Stephanie Cohen, Chief Strategy Officer at Cloudflare, Matthew Duncan, former Head of Future of Work & AI at Microsoft, and Jody Swartz, Senior VP, People at Pantheon, on how AI agents that read and act on the web are changing traffic, search, and the economics of content.

Other notable sessions include:

• What’s New on Pantheon? Pantheon leadership will unveil what's next for the platform, told through customers and partners already building with it, including agency partner Cellar Door.
• Alice in Agentland: Martech Through the Looking Glass, a keynote from Scott Brinker, analyst and “Godfather of Martech,” on how marketers can take advantage of rapidly multiplying AI capabilities without being overwhelmed by them.
• The Threat Surface Explodes with AI, a conversation with Tanya Faddoul, VP of Product & Technology at Cisco, on how enterprises can ship at AI speed without losing control of what reaches production.
• CMO Debate Club: Where the Web Goes Wrong, a live, audience-judged debate featuring CMOs Carmen Villafane (Genexa), Kyle Lacy (Docebo), Tara Robertson (Bitly), and CRO Richard Jones (Pantheon) on whether the standalone website matters more or less in an AI-first world.

Customers will also take the stage to share their experiences. Biltmore Estate will discuss how it relaunched 700 pages on deadline with zero incidents while recovering from Hurricane Helene, and the University of Arizona and University of Alabama will share how they govern hundreds of sites under a single operating model.
