Full Two Day Expo

Sept 16th - 17th

Day 1 and 2 of The Avatar AI Expo convenes 2,000+ AI startup founders, creators and educators, engineers, researchers, and industry leaders for five-track programming, immersive networking, and a diverse collection of exhibits spotlighting the latest in AI.

FULL TWO DAY CONFERENCE

Our five-track program follows AI from breakthrough to broad impact. AI Frontiers pushes the boundaries of what's possible in research. AI Builders gets hands-on with the engineers making it real. AI Deploy tackles the challenges of putting AI into production. AI Leaders convenes the executives and decision-makers steering the industry. And AI Amplify brings together the creators and educators turning complex AI into content that reaches millions.

Every seat and every stage at the Expo is filled by people moving AI forward. Our 60 speakers represent every corner of the ecosystem — researchers exploring what's next, engineers building what's now, founders betting on what's possible, leaders scaling what works, and creators making sure the world is paying attention.

The hallway conversations at an AI expo can be just as valuable as the keynotes. We've designed our networking program to make sure that's not left to chance — with curated introductions, persona-based meetups, and dedicated time built into every day to connect with the founders, builders, researchers, leaders, and creators who share your corner of the AI ecosystem.

Explore the Expo Hall and discover leading AI companies showcasing their latest products and innovations. Move between booths, start conversations instantly, and see what each team is building—designed to feel as close to an in-person expo as possible.

All the energy and spontaneity of an in-person event, none of the flights — move through the venue as your avatar, strike up conversations on the expo floor, and network the way conferences were meant to feel.
