The Avatar AI Expo 2026
Walk the Floor and Shape the Future of AI.
Virtual venue. Browser-based. Beyond Zoom.
Sept 16-17, 2026 · Online, everywhere · Hosted on Gather
The Avatar AI Expo is unlike any virtual expo you've experienced. Move freely, explore what's happening in real time, and interact naturally with the space and the people around you. Instantly see who's who and what's going on — no more awkward grids or forced conversations.
All the energy and spontaneity of an in-person event, none of the flights.
THE EXPO BY THE NUMBERS
5 CURATED TRACKS
Our five-track program follows AI from breakthrough to broad impact. Your track determines your recommended session path and your avatar's outfit, which makes networking among your peers easy.
60 SPEAKERS FROM EVERY CORNER OF AI
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.
IMMERSIVE NETWORKING
The hallway conversations at an AI expo can be just as valuable as the keynotes. Real connection needs both chance and intention, so we create space for serendipity while our AI learns about our attendees to set up the right introductions and persona-based meetups. With dedicated time built into every day, you'll connect with the founders, builders, researchers, leaders, and creators who share your corner of the AI ecosystem.
THE EXPO HALL
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.
Agenda
Both days run 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM ET, and everything happens across all 5 tracks. The expo hall opens at 9:00 AM so you can arrive and settle in before the program begins at 10:00, and the floor stays open until 9:00 PM for anyone who wants to keep mingling.
Each day blends featured sessions and keynotes with plenty of open time to explore the expo hall and meet people. Day 1 opens with keynotes; Day 2 features a hands-on workshop. Sessions run as themed blocks of speakers in the room together — like a panel, without the panel structure.
Across the two days, all 60 speakers take the stage through keynotes, sessions, and workshops — 12 in every track.
Space is limited. Join us before spots are gone!
