Ai4 2026 in Las Vegas: The Largest Artificial Intelligence Conference, Program, Speakers, and Key Tracks

August 4–6, 2026, The Venetian Las Vegas will host Ai4 2026 — one of the largest artificial intelligence conferences in North America. The event will bring together over 12,000 attendees, more than 1,000 speakers, and over 400 exhibitors.

Ai4 is an annual conference founded in 2018 that brings together business leaders, technology companies, researchers, and AI specialists. The platform focuses on the practical application of AI across various industries and discusses real-world cases of technology implementation.

The conference traditionally takes place in Las Vegas and is considered one of the key industry platforms where AI development directions are discussed — from generative models and AI agents to infrastructure, enterprise solutions, and technology regulation.

Participants and speakers include representatives of leading technology companies, research centers, and the industry working with artificial intelligence in practice.

Speakers

A central event will be a joint presentation by three key figures in the history of AI:

— Geoffrey Hinton — Nobel Prize laureate in Physics 2024 for contributions to the development of neural networks.
— Fei-Fei Li — researcher in computer vision and human-centered AI 
— Andrew Ng — founder of DeepLearning.AI, one of the leading experts in applying AI in business.

Also on the program: Dmitri Dolgov and Sebastian Thrun from Waymo, Franziska Bell from Ford Motor Company, Jorge Reis-Filho from AstraZeneca, and others.

Program

The agenda includes hundreds of sessions — panel discussions, company case studies, technical presentations, and workshops. The program is built around the practical application of AI, not theory.

Main tracks:
— AI Agents — autonomous systems for solving complex tasks 
— Generative AI — four separate tracks with practical applications of generative AI 
— AI in healthcare, finance, manufacturing, retail, and the public sector 
— AI governance and regulation — analysis of current global policies and ethical issues
— team transformation — how companies are restructuring their workforce and skills in the face of automation 
— AI for Beginners — a track for those just starting out: basic concepts without technical jargon 
— Research Summit — a track for researchers and academics with presentations on cutting-edge AI developments.

Session formats: 20–40 minute presentations, panel discussions, open interviews, and practical training. On August 3, before the main program begins, General Assembly will host two practical workshops — one for technical specialists and one for business audiences.
