The AI Summit New York 2026

The AI Summit New York 2026 takes place 9-10 December 2026 at the Javits Center, 429 11th Ave, New York. Now in its eleventh edition and running since 2016, it is Informa's flagship US enterprise-AI event and is deliberately commercial rather than academic: ten stages of programming, more than 100 solution providers exhibiting, and an expected 5,000-plus senior decision-makers. The 2026 line-up spans the Headliners Stage, AI at Scale, Next Generation, Finance, Data Excellence, GenAI and Start-Up & Investor stages, alongside a two-day AI Demo Agenda of live fifteen-minute demonstrations, an eight-hour data hackathon, the EY-sponsored VisionAIres VIP programme, and the AIconics Awards Americas 2026. The 2025 edition drew speakers from IBM, Walmart, NBCUniversal, Mastercard, Novartis, Kenvue and LG Electronics.

Two days in Manhattan in December is a realistic ask for a US enterprise team, and the pass structure is what makes this event unusually easy to justify: send one person on a $49 Expo Pass to scan 100-plus vendors and the Headliners Stage, and put the delegate budget behind the one or two vertical stages you actually buy from. The value is peer calibration — hearing what IBM, Walmart, Mastercard and Novartis have genuinely put into production, and what stalled. One caveat worth planning around: independent write-ups of the 2025 edition found the hard questions on infrastructure cost, energy and workforce disruption largely unasked, so bring them yourself.

• ✓The AIconics Awards Americas 2026

• ★Eleven years old and explicitly commercial — the programme is organised around deployed AI and measurable value rather than research results
• ★A $49 discounted Expo Pass buys the Headliners Stage plus the full exhibition, which is an unusually low floor for a senior enterprise event in Manhattan
• ★Vertical stages (Finance, Health & Pharma, Data Excellence) let a team split across the tracks it actually owns
• ★Sits inside a global AI Summit series — London, Australia and the Black Hat USA edition — so vendor relationships carry across regions
• ★Independent coverage of the 2025 edition praised the Javits floor and the cybersecurity and healthcare tracks while criticising a general reluctance to engage with infrastructure, energy and workforce-disruption risk — go with your hard questions prepared
