The Gist: The AI Engineer World’s Fair with doubled capacity is seeking speakers across six new technical tracks and expects over one million visitors.
The AI Engineer World’s Fair in San Francisco is calling for the second round of speaker applications. The event is taking place for the third time at Moscone West and this year focuses on new tracks such as Autoresearch, Memory, World Models, Tokenmaxxing, Agentic Commerce, and Vertical AI in Law, Healthcare, GTM, and Finance.
The AI Engineer World’s Fair announces its second round of speaker applications. Interested parties can apply via https://sessionize.com/aiewf2026/. The event takes place in summer at Moscone West in San Francisco and has thus been expanded in venue space for the third consecutive year.
The event attracts a growing audience: viewership numbers suggest that attendance will reach at least double that of 2025, with over one million unique AI Engineers per month. An additional event day was added to this year’s program. In addition to established subject areas, talks and sponsorships are being actively sought in six new tracks: Autoresearch, Memory, World Models, Tokenmaxxing, Agentic Commerce, and Vertical AI in Law, Healthcare, GTM, and Finance.
Speakers who have already been accepted in Wave 1 will receive a corresponding email notification. All other interested parties will be considered in Wave 2 without submitting additional application steps. Organizers plan to reimburse tickets for accepted speakers. For international visitors, invitation letters for visa applications are available (contact: [email protected]).
Parallel to the World’s Fair, the FIFA World Cup takes place in San Francisco during the same week, so it is recommended to book accommodations promptly. In addition to professional exchange, the event also serves as a platform for recruiting, fundraising, and business deals.
