​San Jose, 17 September 2026

​Date & Time
Wednesday, September 17, 2026 · 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (PT)

​EIII joins as co-organiser and founding partner, representing Swiss expertise in applied AI, advanced engineering, and responsible innovation.

​Intelligence is leaving the screen. AI is moving beyond software into the physical world — humanoids, factories, medical devices, infrastructure, vehicles, wearables, homes, and everyday objects. This new paradigm still lacks a common language, a shared architecture, and a community to shape it.

​Physical AI Summit is a founding, working summit, not another AI conference, bringing together researchers, engineers, founders, industrial leaders, investors, and public-sector innovators to:

• ​Develop a shared framework for Physical AI

• ​Shape the inaugural Physical AI Handbook

• ​Identify the technologies, development models, and business models that will define the field

• ​Launch a global community of practice

​Limited places. Join the founding community shaping the discipline of Physical AI.
