Conference Summary
Description
Ai4 2026 is a large, industry-focused AI conference taking place August 4–6, 2026 at The Venetian in Las Vegas, bringing together roughly 12,000 attendees across enterprise, government, startups, and research. The program spans executive strategy to technical tracks (AI agents, generative AI, MLOps, governance, industry verticals) and emphasizes practical deployment, vendor solutions, and networking opportunities.
Topics
Target audience
Chief AI Officer / CAIO, CIO / CTO / IT leaders, CEO / Founder, VP / Director of Data Science & Analytics, ML engineers & data engineers, Product managers & product leaders, Security / Risk / Compliance leaders, Investors / VCs
Who should attend
Executives and technical leaders who are driving or evaluating enterprise AI initiatives—CAIOs, CIOs, heads of data/ML, product and infrastructure leads—plus startup founders, investors, and industry decision-makers seeking practical deployment patterns, vendor solutions, and cross-industry case studies.
Who might not be a fit
Those seeking only deep academic, peer-reviewed research or highly technical hands-on workshops (e.g., multi-day coding tutorials) may find the program more industry- and deployment-focused than purely research-oriented. Also not ideal for attendees unwilling to budget for mid- to high-tier conference pricing.
