IDA AI Summit 2026 : From Demo to Deployment ｜ SEAMATE × Linkloud
Idea / Demo / Action: How AI Gets Built, Served, and Deployed
500+ AI founders, builders, creators, enterprise leaders, and investors. One afternoon in San Francisco to see how AI moves from ideas and demos into real-world products.
A compelling demo gets people’s attention. But what happens when real users, real costs, and real workflows enter the picture?
Idea / Demo / Action brings the AI community together to explore what it takes to turn emerging capabilities into products people use and businesses can rely on.
Join SEAMATE × Linkloud for an afternoon following the journey from the infrastructure that powers AI to the products built on top—and the work of putting them into production.
Run it. Build it. Put it to work.
What We’ll Explore
Run — Infrastructure for the Agent Era
As models become more capable, the systems around them matter more. We’ll explore how inference, runtime, compute, search, and context shape reliability, performance, and cost.
Build — Video, Multimodal AI, and New Products
Great AI capabilities don’t automatically become great products. We’ll look at how teams turn video and multimodal AI into useful experiences that fit real workflows and keep users coming back.
Deploy — The Last Mile of Enterprise AI
What happens when AI meets real organizations? We’ll discuss FDE, integration, customization, and the challenge of making AI work within existing systems and workflows.
Experience / Action — Build, Try, and Demo
A dedicated breakout space to try tools, work on projects, share what you’re building, and get feedback from other builders.
Bring a project, an idea, or simply your curiosity.
Booth Corridor — Products and Conversations
Meet teams, explore live products, and connect around feedback, ideas, and potential collaborations.
Speaker lineup and detailed schedule coming soon.
