The AI Summit New York 2026

The AI Summit New York 2026 is the eleventh edition of what its organisers describe as the East Coast's longest-running commercial AI conference, held 9-10 December 2026 at the Javits Center in Manhattan. The 2026 theme is "Turn AI Ambition into Real-World Impact", and the programme runs 11 conference tracks across 10 content stages with 350+ speakers, 200+ exhibitors and solution providers, and 7,500+ expected attendees. The event has tripled in size across three consecutive years of record growth. New for 2026 are a Headliners Stage in a dedicated theatre format, an Applied AI track examining real-world enterprise implementation, and an Impact Arena built around measurable business outcomes and case studies; speaker submissions are organised under Next Generation, Applied AI and Data Excellence. Confirmed speakers include Ipshita Chakraborty, Director of Data Science and Applied AI at HelloFresh, Christie Mealo, Chief AI Officer at Medical Knowledge Group, and Iwao Fusillo, Chief Data and Analytics Officer at the New York Jets, with an ambassador chapter of AI leaders from Wells Fargo, IBM, eBay, JPMorgan Chase, The Walt Disney Company, Vanguard, Paramount Global, Coach and Panasonic.

This is a buyer's conference rather than a research one. The stage list is dominated by operating executives at McKesson, PepsiCo, TD Bank, AT&T, Wayfair and Wells Fargo describing deployments that already ship, so a CIO weighing build against buy leaves with peer evidence instead of vendor roadmaps. Two hundred exhibitors under one roof makes it a practical shortlisting trip for anyone mid-procurement, and the new Impact Arena is explicitly organised around measurable ROI — the number a board asks for once the pilot phase ends. December timing lands just before the budget year, so the conversations feed directly into planning, and a $49 super-early-bird expo pass makes sending a scout almost free.

• ★11 conference tracks across 10 simultaneous stages — a breadth closer to a trade show than a single-track executive summit
• ★The new Impact Arena is organised entirely around measurable business outcomes and case studies rather than product launches, which is the evidence a board asks for after a year of pilots
• ★The speaker roster is dominated by operating executives at Fortune 500 buyers — Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Disney, PepsiCo, McKesson, AT&T — rather than vendor CTOs
• ★A $49 super-early-bird expo pass makes the 200-exhibitor show floor accessible without a delegate budget
