AI Engineer runs the most viewed technical conferences in AI for engineers, with over 10M+ views of our talks online. We are back in SF for the 4th year in a row!

This is the one place you can meet with every major frontier lab, leading AI clouds, and AI native/transformed companies — from disruptive AI startups to Fortune 500 AI leaders, and every notable building block in the LLM OS ecosystem.

KEY DATES FOR SPEAKERS

May 30ALL Submissions Deadline
June 2Final Wave Announcements

All submissions are reviewed using the same criteria; deadlines only affect review timing and announcement date.

SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL

We invite you to submit your abstract and speaker information. You are highly encouraged to:

  • Pick non-boring titles (you CAN change your mind later) and look at the best talks from past AIE confs and peer conferences like JSConf, GDC, Goto, and StrangeLoop. Your chances are ~epsilon if you simply resubmit talks that look at home at generic AI conferences.
  • Multiple submissions are welcome and not held against you — you don't need to guess at what we want. We just need to know the rough direction of 1–5 topics you could speak about.

TALK LENGTHS

Workshop
1–2 hours • Hands-on sessions or technical deep dives
Stage Talk
15–20 mins • Keynotes, live demos, paper presentations
Lightning Talk
5–10 mins • Launches, hot takes, fun rants
Online Talk
5–55 mins • Very free form

During your session, dive right into the content with minimal self-introduction — the MC will introduce you. Your talk will be professionally recorded and published on our YouTube, X, and LinkedIn.

VENUE

MOSCONE WEST

Moscone West is the crown jewel of San Francisco's three convention centers. Constructed in 2003, it is the city's most modern and most striking: with 27' high ceilings & floor-to-ceiling glass facades that wrap the 3-story building.

With three levels of the same dimensions connected by a single lobby and dual-escalator sets + multiple staircases and multiple elevator shafts, it is simple to understand and efficient to navigate:

FLOOR 1: REG, EXPO, FOOD, EVENING SOCIALS
FLOOR 2: BREAKOUTS
FLOOR 3: KEYNOTE + VIP ROOMS
HOTEL

BOOK YOUR HOTEL ROOM

Book your room at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis, Parc 55, or InterContinental at our group conference discount, for the 4th year running! Due to the US World Cup we expect this year's room block to sell out MUCH faster than ever in our history. DO NOT DELAY.
