What to Expect at the AI Engineer World’s Fair 2026

Short summary

The AI Engineer World's Fair (June 28–July 2, 2026 in SF) hosts 400+ sessions across 29 tracks on agents, autoresearch, robotics, healthcare, and finance. Success comes from pre-planning with the interactive schedule, anchoring to 1–2 core tracks, attending New Engineer Orientation if new, and leveraging hallway conversations. Sessions are recorded, so strategic focus, pacing, and networking matter more than trying to see everything.
