The Only Conference Your Engineers Need To Attend
Where the world's top AI labs, founders, Fortune 500 CTOs & AI Engineers meet, for the 3rd year running
Presented By:
From the team behind the
AI Engineer Summit
- Top-notch crowd of builders, AI engineers, AI ecosystem players. Every conversation I had was insightful.
- Main conference was preceded by full-day AI 101/201 workshops to help new entrants like myself catch up.
- HQ keynotes & workshops that brought you to the cutting edge across all areas of AI Engineering (AI Eng stack, emerging AI application design patterns, AI UX, Agents, ....)
This is a burgeoning community that you shouldn't sleep on.
They're doing a bigger event in Spring 2024 - if you're building with AI I highly recommend you join me in attending.
On to day 2 and eagerly anticipating even more insights!
The AI Engineer World's Fair
is the largest industry event to discover what's now and create what's next
Think "early NeurIPS for Engineers", "StrangeLoop + LLMs", or "TED AI but everyone codes"
No theoretical promissory hoopla. Just engineers and founders on the cutting edge of AI Engineering, sharing their knowledge.
AI Engineering moves fast. Meet the engineers & founders behind the companies who are innovating at the edge of what's possible -- and building a better future.
The hallway track is buzzing with AI Engineers & founders. Every conversation you have -- facilitated with moderators or open -- is ensure to educate & inspire.
We've curated over 20 workshops for you to choose from, servicing everyone from experienced engineers just starting with AI Engineering, to experienced AI engineers looking to get an edge on the competition.
Get matched with people we (er, our algo) thinks will provide you with value. Refine your results by adding more information to your profile.
Stimulation for your brain, inspiration for your soul, education for your business. And excellent food to power you through the excitement!
The SOTA in AI Engineering All In One Place
With 18 tracks and over 150 sessions, you can design the program schedule that perfectly matches your business needs. There are up to 10 simultaneous sessions running at any one time, so it's a good thing we have a group discount for teams attending together!
Jun 4-5 - Both Conference Days
Jun 4 - Conference Day 1
Jun 5 - Conference Day 2
Schedule
You can walk the World's Fair Expo (ft. 30+ booths across the AI Engineering landscape) on any of the 3 days, while Keynote, and AI Leadership sessions span the 2 conference days. There are also plenty of breaks for the most important track of all: the "hallway track"!
IMPORTANT The schedule is not yet announced, but you can see the 2024 schedule for an idea.
The AI Engineer Expo SOLD OUT!
From foundation models to domain-specific products & services, the Expo is your chance to meet some of the best engineers in our industry, working on the most cutting-edge technologies that empower product teams and developers like you.
In numbers, there's probably going to be significantly more AI Engineers than there are ML engineers / LLM engineers. One can be quite successful in this role without ever training anything.

With much of the AI world flying in to SF, there are lots of meetings and side events that will be organized in the surrounding days. We recommend flying in for the whole week from Monday through Friday so as not to miss out.
If you are organizing an event around the week of June 1-8, please get in touch with us to list on our calendar for attendees to find you!
There are roughly two orders of magnitude more software engineers than there are machine learning engineers. By building good tools, we think it is possible for AI Engineers to use machine learning in the same way they can use normal software.

The Marriott Marquis
One of the largest hotels in the city, and conveniently located downtown near public transportation and plenty of cafes, restaurants, bars, and sights, the Marriott Marquis (780 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103) was our choice to host the first AI Engineer World's Fair in 2024 and we are excited to return!
The hotel's Yerba Buena Ballroom is the largest pillarless ballroom west of Las Vegas, and will serve as a centralized, comfortable location for keynotes, breakout sessions, the expo, networking, and food. One floor above is the Golden Gate Ballroom, serving as a dedicated space for workshops & breakout talks. Plenty of other salons and breakout rooms will serve as Expo Sessions and additional meeting space.
View Lounge: VIP Exclusive
Speakers and Attendees who purchase the AI Leadership pass get exclusive access to the AI Architects track, which utilizes the top-floor View Lounge as a VIP welcome reception on June 3rd in addition to daytime facilitated discussions & open networking on the 4th and 5th.
