FAQ

Got Questions?

The event takes place in a custom-built virtual world on Gather Town. You control a pixel avatar and walk around a conference venue — just like a video game. Walk up to a stage to hear a speaker, enter an expo booth to chat with a sponsor, or find someone in the networking lounge. Everything runs in your browser with no downloads required.

You'll earn points by attending sessions, visiting sponsor booths, completing AI challenges, networking, and discovering hidden areas. Points contribute to a live leaderboard. Top participants win prizes including AI tool subscriptions, exclusive swag, and VIP perks for future events.

The main programming runs from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET on both days, with networking socials extending to 7:00 PM.

No. The entire experience runs in your web browser. We recommend Chrome or Firefox on a desktop or laptop for the best experience. You'll need a stable internet connection and a microphone/camera for networking (optional).

Absolutely! We offer sponsorship tiers from $1,000 to $50,000+ with options including branded expo booths, gamified challenges, keynote presentations, and more.

Not at all. The schedule is designed to provide a variety of content throughout each day, but you can attend as many or as few sessions as you'd like. You can also explore the virtual venue, visit exhibit booths, and network at your own pace.

AI practitioners, startup founders, product managers, engineers, investors, and anyone who wants to understand where AI is headed — and meet the people building it.
