The Gist: The AI Engineer World’s Fair opens its Wave 2 speaker submission call, expands its program with six new topic tracks, and expects to host the year’s largest technical AI conference in San Francisco.
The AI Engineer World’s Fair is calling for Wave 2 speaker submissions and is expanding the program with new tracks on Autoresearch, Memory, World Models, Tokenmaxxing, Agentic Commerce, and Vertical AI in Law, Healthcare, GTM, and Finance. The event takes place this summer at Moscone West in San Francisco and already serves over one million AI Engineers monthly.
The AI Engineer World’s Fair opens its second call for speakers. Applicants can submit their projects at https://sessionize.com/aiewf2026/, particularly if they fit the newly added tracks such as Autoresearch, Memory, World Models, Tokenmaxxing, Agentic Commerce, or Vertical AI in Law, Healthcare, GTM, and Finance.
The event is growing continuously: in 2025, attendance doubled for the third consecutive year. The AIE platform currently reaches over one million unique AI Engineers monthly. This year, the conference is moving for the first time to Moscone West, which offers double the capacity of the previous venue. In addition to the proven topics from 2025 and Europe, an additional event day with new focus areas will be added.
Those already accepted in Wave 1 will receive confirmation by email. Other applicants will be automatically considered in Wave 2 without needing to take further action. Ticket bookings should happen soon as capacity is filling up – also due to the FIFA World Cup taking place in San Francisco at the same time. Accepted speakers will receive ticket reimbursement. For international visa inquiries, [email protected] can be contacted.
