SHAPING THE FUTURE OF AI

Meet the first confirmed of 120+ speakers for The AI Conference 2026. Additional speakers, presentations, & features will be announced weekly.

Day ZER is a high-signal, small-room kickoff where senior builders & leaders spend a full day moving between 8 focused workshops & a live AI Hack Day before the main event. The AI Conference full experience starts here. Includes full conference pass.

Day 1 & 2 of The AI Conference brings together 5,500+ builders, researchers, & leaders for two full days of five-track programming, main-stage keynotes, the Startup Showdown, & an expanded Innovation Hub, focused on applied AI from research to production.

Shaping the future of AI

The AI Conference was founded on a clear belief: AI is not a standalone technology-it is becoming the foundation of modern software, infrastructure, & business.

Since launching in 2023, the conference has focused relentlessly on applied AI: how AI systems are actually built, deployed, governed, & scaled in the real world.

What began as a deeply technical gathering of engineers & researchers has evolved alongside the market. As AI moved from experimentation to enterprise adoption, The AI Conference expanded to bring together builders, operators, executives, investors, & policymakers-all with a shared goal of turning AI capability into real impact.

The program is designed to reflect how AI is used in practice:

Frontiers explores emerging research & capabilities.
Builders focuses on implementation, infrastructure, & operations.
Applied AI showcases production deployments & measurable outcomes.
Strategy addresses governance, economics, & organizational change.
Vertical tracks deliver deep, industry-specific insight across sectors like healthcare, finance, advertising, & retail.

Hands-on workshops, Hack Day, & the Startup Showdown ensure the conference is as much about execution as it is about ideas-creating a space where teams build, companies launch, & lessons are shared openly.
