AIEi Partner Program

What is an AIEi event?

An AIEi event is a locally organized AI Engineer conference. It brings the format and standards of AI Engineer to a city or region, with a program built by people rooted in that community.

Built locally, connected globally

AI Engineer runs flagship conferences, including the AI Engineer World's Fair, for the engineers building with AI. AIEi extends that to cities where a strong local team can host its own edition. Each event reflects its region: its speakers, its companies, its language, and its pace. Every event also shares one brand and one standard, so attendees know what to expect wherever they go.

What makes an event AIEi

  • Practitioner content. Talks and workshops come from people building with AI, not from sales pitches.
  • Local voices. The program features engineers, founders, and researchers from the region, alongside visiting speakers where they add value.
  • An open stage. A strong talk can come from a staff engineer at a large company or a student with something new to show.
  • A consistent brand. Every event uses the AIEi name and visual identity under AIE's brand guidelines.
  • An engaged audience. Attendees come to learn, build, and meet peers working on the same problems.

What AIEi isn’t

  • Not an AIE-produced event. Partners fund and staff their own.
  • No vendor pitches or single-company showcases
  • Not a general tech conference with AI bolted on
  • Not a free meetup. Every AIEi event is ticketed.

Event name format

AIEi [City], for example AIEi Bengaluru.
