Series Context
This is the first Los Angeles edition of AIAI's Agentic AI Summit. There is no prior LA edition to recap. The verified series context below gives useful background.
First Los Angeles Edition
The Los Angeles stop is new for the roadshow. It launches alongside the Generative AI Summit LA. Both share the Conrad Los Angeles venue.
The AIAI Global Summit Series
- AIAI runs Agentic AI Summits across many cities. Confirmed 2026 stops include Berlin, Boston, Toronto, and London. Each pairs with a co-located generative or executive summit.
- The roadshow targets engineers and senior technical leaders, and each summit avoids a large expo hall in favour of focused sessions. Editions typically draw a few hundred builder-focused attendees. The series also runs into 2027 across further US cities.
Venue
Conrad Los Angeles
The Conrad is part of the Grand LA development and sits close to the Walt Disney Concert Hall, with downtown transit and freeways serving the area. Los Angeles International Airport is the nearest major airport, and downtown LA has Metro rail access. Attendees should check the venue site for parking.
