About
AI Infra Summit focuses on the infrastructure layer of AI, targeting the intersection of infrastructure and models that drives AI performance at the software layer. The agenda covers serving AI at scale alongside the deployment and operational challenges across the full technology stack. Its focus areas (AI Data Centers, Compute, Data Movement, Data & Models, and Physical AI) are described by organizers as the bottom four layers of Jensen Huang's AI layer cake. Organizers position the event as being 'for the committed' rather than a broad industry survey.

AI Infra Summit 2026 is held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara.
Full-Access tickets cost $2,497 (down from $3,297), Expo tickets cost $397 (down from $547), and an Enterprise End-User ticket is free for qualifying enterprise and hyperscaler technical roles.
Attendees span enterprise buyers such as Airbus, JP Morgan, and Walmart; model builders such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta; ISVs such as Adobe, Databricks, and Snowflake; and infrastructure vendors across compute, cloud, and data centers such as NVIDIA, AWS, and Equinix.
That depends on whether AI infrastructure (compute, data movement, and data center deployment) sits inside your remit, since the event is built around that layer rather than general AI trends. The organizer doesn't publish independent attendee-satisfaction data, so weigh the published speaker lineup and attendee company list against your own goals before buying a ticket.
Most B2B tech conferences default to business casual, and nothing on the AI Infra Summit site suggests otherwise. The organizer doesn't publish a dress code, so business casual is a safe default for keynotes, expo-hall meetings, and networking sessions.
