AI Engineering Conference 2026 took place October 12–14, 2026.
AI Engineering Conference 2026 took place at Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel in New York, New York.
The event was described as having 1,500+ AI engineers, researchers, and founders in person, with hundreds of thousands online.
AI engineers and technical leaders from banking, hedge funds, fintech, insurance, and asset management were expected to attend.
It is most useful for AI engineers and technical leaders building in finance, since the program was finance-specific and speakers were billed to include people from JPMC, Vanguard, Bloomberg, Revolut and Coinbase. With 1,500+ in-person attendees billed and non-vendor mainstage keynotes, it favored practitioners over sales-driven sessions. Engineers outside finance or people wanting product demos would get less from it.
Engineers at AI conferences usually wear casual clothes such as jeans, sneakers and a company t-shirt or hoodie, though finance attendees in Midtown Manhattan may dress a notch smarter in business casual.
