The Future of Physical AI Summit 2026
The Future of Physical AI Summit is a two-hour conference during Utah Hard Tech Week. It brings together founders, engineers, researchers, investors, professionals, students, and more to explore the next frontier of artificial intelligence, around one question: What happens when AI leaves the screen and enters the real world?
