About This Event
ScaleUp:AI 2026 is Insight Partners' flagship AI conference, held on Tuesday 6 October 2026 at Quorum by Convene, 1221 6th Avenue in midtown Manhattan, and livestreamed in full to a global virtual audience. The in-person room is deliberately small, at 350+ AI CEOs, builders, enterprise executives, academics and investors. The single-day agenda runs from 08:30 registration through sessions from 09:30 to 16:30, with a cocktail reception for premier in-person ticket holders from 16:30 to 18:30. Programme themes are building in the next AI stack, the future of work and the evolving workforce, automation and efficiency with a focus on AI agents in the enterprise, and the investor view on where value accrues. Prior editions drew 300+ in-person attendees alongside 2,800+ virtual participants from 70+ countries.

Why Attend
This is the cheapest way to hear how enterprise AI is actually being financed and deployed rather than marketed. Insight sits on both sides of the table, so the agenda is built around the questions a buyer and a builder share: what the next AI stack looks like, where agents genuinely replace workflow rather than decorate it, and which categories investors think will still exist in two years. If you can get an in-person pass the curated one-on-ones are the product; if you cannot, the free livestream loses very little.
