Adobe MAX 2026

Adobe MAX 2026, Adobe's annual creativity conference, runs 10–12 November 2026 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, with paid preconference training courses on 8–9 November. The programme spans more than 200 sessions across seven tracks: Accelerating Creativity with AI, Branding, Creative Leadership and Innovation, Creator Economy, Design/Imaging/Illustration, Photography, and Video/Audio/Motion. MAX is where Adobe ships its largest product announcements of the year and runs Sneaks, its live on-stage demo of unreleased research projects. The full conference pass includes up to three hands-on labs, Creative Park access, the Welcome Reception and the closing Bash, while free online registration streams keynotes, Sneaks and on-demand sessions on 10–11 November for anyone not travelling.

For a marketing, brand or creative-operations leader, MAX is where Adobe sets the next year of the toolchain their teams work in — Firefly and Creative Cloud feature changes, licensing shifts and generative-AI capabilities are announced here first, and Sneaks previews what lands 12 to 18 months out. The AI track is the practical reason to send people: it covers how generative work fits existing review, rights and approval workflows rather than treating the tools in isolation. With 200+ sessions and up to three labs bundled into the pass, it doubles as a training budget rather than a pure conference spend.
