Automate 2027

Automate 2027 runs 10–13 May 2027 at the Las Vegas Convention Center — the first time the show has been staged in Las Vegas. Produced by A3, the Association for Advancing Automation, it is North America's largest robotics, machine vision and industrial automation event, and the venue where AI shows up as a work cell rather than a model card. The 2026 edition in Chicago drew more than 50,000 registrants and 1,230 exhibitors across roughly 425,000 square feet. Show-floor access, the daily keynote and exhibitor booths are free to every registrant; conference sessions, certification exams and social events sit behind a paid All-Access Pass, with early-bird pricing open from 25 June 2026 until 29 March 2027.

• ✓VPs of Operations and Manufacturing
• ✓CTOs
• ✓Automation and controls engineers
• ✓Machine vision engineers
• ✓Warehouse and logistics technology leaders
• ✓Systems integrators
• ✓Corporate innovation and capex decision makers

This is the show for the decision that follows an AI strategy: which cell, which robot, which camera, and what the integrator will actually quote. An operations VP can compare arms, AMRs, grippers, vision systems and safety controllers side by side, meet the integrators who will do the installation, sit the Humanoid Robot Forum for an honest read on commercial readiness, and put engineers through vision certification on site — all with free floor access before any conference spend is committed.

• ✓Humanoid Robot Forum
• ✓Automate Startup Challenge
• ✓Women's Empowerment Forum
• ✓Education Pavilion and workforce-development programming
• ✓Certified Vision Professional Basic and Advanced certification exams held on site
• ✓Daily keynote, free to all registrants, alongside hundreds of expert speaker sessions

• ★Free show-floor access, keynote and exhibitor halls for every registrant — unusual at this scale, and it makes a scouting trip cheap to justify before committing to the paid conference
• ★A3 is the industry's trade association, so the exhibitor list is effectively the North American robotics and vision supply chain rather than a curated sponsor roster: 1,230 exhibitors across ~425,000 square feet in 2026
• ★The Humanoid Robot Forum gives a dedicated, vendor-neutral read on where humanoids actually are commercially, which is otherwise mostly inferred from launch videos
• ★Certification exams run on site (Certified Vision Professional Basic and Advanced), so an engineering team can leave with credentials rather than only notes
• ★Moves to Las Vegas for the first time in 2027 after Chicago and Detroit editions, with an early-bird window running nine months ahead of the show

Walking the show floor, attending the daily keynote and visiting exhibitor booths is free to all registrants. Conference sessions, certification exams and social events require a paid All-Access Pass: early-bird pricing runs 25 June 2026 to 29 March 2027, standard pricing 30 March to 13 May 2027. Cancellation is free through 29 March 2027, a $200 fee applies 30 March to 24 April 2027, and no refunds are issued after 24 April 2027. A3 had not published the pass dollar amounts at the time of writing.
