Building AI Orgs and AI Agents in 2025

The AI Engineer Summit is the #1 technical conference in the world for AI engineers and leadership (CTOs & VPs of AI) to meet, learn, and advance the field, for the third year running. Speakers and sponsors of past events include founders and senior leaders of DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Cohere, Mistral, Midjourney, Cartesia, NVIDIA, Groq, Crusoe, Together.ai, Fireworks, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Databricks, Neo4j, MongoDB, GitHub, Microsoft, Google, AWS and more.

The theme of this Summit is Agents at Work, with a special focus on in-production stories in Finance (Jane Street, BlackRock, Bloomberg etc.), and no vendor pitches for our main stage.

We are convening the top AI Agent builders in the field to share their work, discuss problems, and propose solutions for 2025 to succeed as the Year of Agents. Applications are invite only as the in-person attendee experience is highly curated. Join us!

Thrilled by the energy this wk at the @aiDotEngineer summit 🚀 Reminds me of the vibrant spirit at Twitter's first dev conference, Chirp. Was the spark at the beginning a decade of innovation for many. Kudos to @swyx and@Benghamine for hosting a fantastic gathering. #AIESummit

@aiDotEngineer was by far the best conference I've ever attended. A huge shoutout to @swyx and @Benghamine for putting together this event! Link to my talk about Code Integrity and @CodiumAI (starts at minute 25:30)

The @aiDotEngineer Summit was one of the highest signal-to-noise ratio conferences I've ever been to. Deeply technical but accessible, and truly at the bleeding edge. thank you @swyx and @Benghamine for putting it together - and looking forward to the next one!

The production value for @aiDotEngineer was so high—they had an entire SWAT team backstage (see last third of this video)

The @aiDotEngineer Summit was the most insightful and exciting conference I ever attended:
- 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.

Speedrunning through @aiDotEngineer talks the next few days. Every talk was months of effort distilled into 20min - 1 hr. Ridiculous return on time.

The first day of workshops and keynote talks at the AI Engineer Summitwere fantastic. The workshops were very informative and I'm especially enjoying all the focus on the importance of evals.

On to day 2 and eagerly anticipating even more insights!

#AIESummit may well be the best conference I've attended in ages. And yes, I do feel a little less bewildered and more illuminated after the conference 🙏🏼 @swyx & @Benghamine

If I had to describe the vibe at AI Engineer Summit in one word that word would be "excitement". Everywhere I could hear the loud buzz of conversations happening up-close and at-tempo. Everyone I talked to sees the massive growth in capabilities and tooling in the last year and was hopeful about what the future will bring.

The AI Engineer Summit
is the event to discover what's now and
What's Next

Talks from Engineers Who Ship

No theoretical promissory hooplah. Just engineers and founders on the cutting edge of AI Engineering, sharing their knowledge.

Cutting-edge Expo

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.

Facilitated Discussions with Inspiring Peers

The hallway track is buzzing with AI Engineers & founders. Every conversation you have -- facilitated with moderators or open -- is ensure to educate & inspire.

In-depth Workshops

We've curated 6+ 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.

Algorithmic Networking

Get matched with people we (er, our algo) thinks will provide you with value. Refine your results by adding more information to your profile.

The Nerdiest Fun You Can Have

Stimulation for your brain, inspiration for your soul, education for your business. And excellent food to power you through the excitement!

Full Schedule

Unlike the World's Fair, this is a single track per day conference. No paradox of choice, more focus and brutally curated to only the best. The first conference day is the AI Leadership track for CTOs and VPs of AI and the second is Agent Engineering track for top tier AI Engineers. You can walk the Summit Expo (ft. 10+ booths across the AI Engineering landscape) on any of the 2 days. The last day is the AI Engineer Workshops and online livestream day.

There are also plenty of breaks for the most important track of all: the hallway track!

New Our full talk schedule is now published here

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.
