AI Together
Summit
Practitioners, builders, and leaders — two days of hands-on sessions, real case studies, and candid conversation about where AI is actually heading.
Presented with Microsoft & Kynex · ~500 attendees
Why attend
Real work, not hype
Practitioners share what's actually shipping — case studies, live builds, and candid talk about where AI is headed next.
Sessions for every seat
Keynotes, breakouts, and hands-on workshops across tracks for technical, business, and in-between.
Built for connecting
An exhibit hall, sponsor booths, and networking breaks built into the schedule — not squeezed around it.
AI isn't magic — it's prediction, one token at a time. We'll show you exactly how it thinks.
The pace of AI
Look how far AI came — this fast
A few years ago most of this was science fiction. Here's how we got from there to now.
See how AI reads your words
Type anything below and watch it break into the tokens a model actually sees — no sign-up, running right in your browser. It's a taste of the hands-on you'll get across two days at the Summit.
How a model reads your words
Models don't see letters or whole words — they see tokens. Type something and watch it split.
15 tokens · 58 characters · ␣ marks a leading space (approximate — real models use learned BPE)
Personalize
Why attend, for you
Pick what best describes you — the pitch updates instantly.
You'll spend two days with engineers and data practitioners solving the same production problems you are — hands-on sessions and real case studies, not vendor demos. Built for people who ship, not just strategize.
The network effect
Alone you experiment. Together you accelerate.
Two days in one room with the people actually building AI — every conversation a shortcut, every connection a head start.
