Enterprise AI World 2026

Enterprise AI World 2026 runs 17–19 November 2026 at the JW Marriott in Washington, DC, with an optional pre-conference workshop day on 16 November. Produced by Information Today, Inc., it is one of five co-located events — alongside KMWorld, Enterprise Search & Discovery, Text Analytics Forum and Taxonomy Boot Camp — that share a keynote stage and an Enterprise Solutions Showcase across 16–19 November. The programme is organised into three day-long tracks: The Current AI Landscape, Tales From AI Practitioners, and What Does the Future of AI Look Like? Sessions are weighted toward operators rather than vendors, covering AI governance, copyright and compliance risk, explainability as infrastructure, ROI and adoption measurement, agentic enterprise architecture, and moving from pilot to production at scale. Named practitioner speakers come from IBM, AT&T, Amazon, Capital One, Cisco Systems, U.S. Bank, Microsoft, Northwest Bank and Lemonade Insurance, alongside founder keynotes from Squirro, Guru, Bloomfire, eGain, AODocs, Shelf, Behavox and Bast.ai.

• ✓Chief AI Officers
• ✓CIOs and CTOs
• ✓Chief Data Officers and Chief Data Scientists
• ✓Chief Knowledge Officers
• ✓Heads of AI governance, risk and compliance
• ✓Enterprise search and information management leads
• ✓Knowledge management practitioners

This is the conference for the phase after the pilot. Three days give a CIO or Chief AI Officer a structured read on the three things that decide whether enterprise AI survives contact with production: whether the knowledge and taxonomy layer underneath it is sound, whether governance and copyright exposure has been mapped, and whether anyone can measure the return. Sessions are led by named operators at IBM, AT&T, Capital One, Amazon and U.S. Bank who have already shipped, and the co-located search, text-analytics and taxonomy programmes cover the retrieval plumbing most AI deployments quietly fail on. The DC location makes it unusually strong for regulated and federal buyers.

• ✓Track: The Current AI Landscape (Tuesday) — State of AI 2026, human resilience, governance and compliance
• ✓Track: Tales From AI Practitioners (Wednesday) — explainability as infrastructure, AI-native engineering teams, platform design for complexity
• ✓Track: What Does the Future of AI Look Like? (Thursday) — agentic enterprise, ROI and adoption measurement, pilot-to-production at scale
• ✓Optional half-day pre-conference workshops on Monday 16 November
• ✓Enterprise Solutions Showcase exhibition floor, 16–18 November
• ✓Daily keynote stage shared across all five co-located events
• ✓KMWorld Awards lunch on the closing day
• ✓Enterprise Practitioner Showcase session and KM+ Debrief

• ★The practitioner track is genuinely practitioner-run — sessions are led by named operators at IBM, AT&T, Amazon, Capital One, Cisco and U.S. Bank rather than by their vendors
• ★One badge reaches five co-located conferences: KMWorld, Enterprise Search & Discovery, Text Analytics Forum, Taxonomy Boot Camp and Enterprise AI World
• ★Deliberately weighted toward the unglamorous half of enterprise AI — taxonomy, semantic infrastructure, retrieval quality and knowledge plumbing — which is where most deployments actually stall
• ★A dedicated governance block covering copyright, compliance and risk with the Copyright Clearance Center and Black Duck Software
• ★Washington, DC siting draws a heavier federal and regulated-industry audience than the West Coast AI circuit
• ★Expo-only admission to the Enterprise Solutions Showcase is free before the 16 October early-bird cutoff
