Frequently Asked Questions

The AI Engineer World's Fair takes place from June 29 through July 2, 2026, at Moscone West, located at 747 Howard Street in San Francisco, California.

The AI Engineer World's Fair is designed specifically for technical professionals, builders, and leaders shaping the future of artificial intelligence applications. The event brings together software engineers, machine learning engineers, data scientists, product managers, and technical founders. It is also highly relevant for engineering executives, researchers, and enterprise AI leaders who want to move beyond high-level theory and explore the practical architecture, tools, and deployment strategies of modern AI engineering.

A track is a curated, specialized series of sessions focused on a specific core discipline or theme within AI engineering. Each track takes place entirely within a single room over the course of a single day, allowing attendees to dive deep into a technical focus area without needing to switch rooms between sessions. With thirty unique tracks hosted across the multi-day event, participants can easily match their daily schedule to their specific technical stack, professional goals, and level of expertise.

Workshops are sessions where you get to really dive in. These hands-on, high-signal sessions create space for practical technical exploration across the tools, workflows, architectures, and ideas defining AI engineering. Make sure to BYOD, and be prepared to clone a repo and dive in.

AI Leadership attendees have access to two special tracks:

• AI-Native Enterprises: AI adoption patterns for large organizations. Security, compliance, procurement, and the organizational playbook for shipping AI at enterprise scale.
• AI Architects: Show my Workflow: The only Track without recorded session featuring live workflow demos from top AI architects. See exactly how teams design, build, and deploy production AI systems end-to-end.

Workshop day is only available if you've purchased a Workshops + Engineering or AI Leadership (All Access) ticket.

Tracks are available to all ticket types except Expo Explorers.

All track sessions and workshops are available on a first-come, first served basis. You can see a list of available tracks here: https://www.ai.engineer/worldsfair/2026#tracks. For more information, check out our full event schedule here: https://www.ai.engineer/worldsfair/2026#schedule.
