Two days in December is a realistic way to close a vendor evaluation before budget season: 100+ solution providers on one floor, guided AI Demo Tours to work it systematically, and a Start-up & Investor Village for anything not yet on an analyst's grid. The real value is the peer bench rather than the vendors — eBay's Chief AI Officer, JPMorgan Chase's Director of Generative AI, Vanguard's Chief Architect and McDonald's VP of Data, AI and Architecture are confirmed, and the 2025 programme centred on moving from pilots to enterprise-scale deployment, governance and workforce readiness. Two caveats worth planning around: the 2026 agenda is not published yet, and attendee reviews of the series praise speaker range and networking while consistently criticising venue crowding, long queues and stage layout.

• ✓Ten content stages running in parallel
• ✓Three conference tracks: Next Generation, Applied AI and Data Excellence
• ✓Headliners Stage, included with the Expo Pass
• ✓Masterclass and Workshop Programme
• ✓Start-up & Investor Village
• ✓VisionAIres VIP Programme with senior-level-only sessions and lounge
• ✓Guided AI Demo Tours of the exhibition floor
• ✓The AI Awards
• ✓Networking Café and a structured networking agenda
• ✓Fringe Events around the main programme
• ✓Future AI Leaders programme

• ★Eleventh edition — the East Coast's longest-running commercial AI conference, not a first-year launch
• ★Commercial rather than academic: the 2025 programme's throughline was the move from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment, governance and workforce readiness
• ★The speaker bench is buy-side operators, not vendors — confirmed 2026 ambassadors include eBay's Chief AI Officer, JPMorgan Chase's Director of Generative AI, Vanguard's Chief Architect and McDonald's VP of Data, AI and Architecture
• ★Genuinely tiered pricing: a $49 early-bird Expo Pass buys the floor and the Headliners Stage, so technology scouting costs almost nothing
• ★Co-located Start-up & Investor Village plus guided AI Demo Tours put pre-analyst-grid vendors and established ones in the same afternoon
• ★Ten parallel content stages in a two-day format, so a team of three can cover most of the programme
