About this event

What to expect

All Things AI 2026 is the Southeast's premier AI conference, returning to Durham, NC for two intensive days of hands-on training and industry insights on March 23–24, 2026. This year's event has expanded to four times its previous size, combining the iconic Carolina Theatre and Durham Convention Center to accommodate broader networking and more ambitious programming. If you're serious about deploying, managing, or building with artificial intelligence, this is the must-attend event of the year.

Day 1: AI Training Day (March 23)

The conference kicks off with deep-dive training sessions designed for professionals who need actionable AI skills immediately. Whether you work in marketing, product management, operations, or development, you'll walk away with practical workflows, proven tools, and tactics you can implement the very next day. Three specialized tracks cover AI for Business Professionals, AI for DevOps, and AI for Agents, ensuring content relevance across technical and non-technical roles. These aren't theoretical lectures—expect hands-on sessions that bridge the gap between AI hype and real-world application. Reserve your workshop tickets early as capacity is limited.

Day 2: Main Conference (March 24)

The main conference day features industry-leading speakers—builders, researchers, and business leaders—sharing cutting-edge insights on what's next in AI and how to leverage it today. The programme includes hard-hitting keynotes, candid panel discussions, and real-world case studies from organizations successfully deploying AI at scale. Expect honest conversations about challenges, failures, and breakthroughs rather than polished marketing presentations.

What's New in 2026

This year's expansion brings significant enhancements. The speaker lineup has grown substantially, offering broader perspectives from AI pioneers and practitioners across industries. The dual-venue format at the Carolina Theatre and Durham Convention Center provides significantly more space for networking, collaboration, and breakout sessions. Most importantly, the content focus has shifted toward applied, hands-on learning that attendees can immediately integrate into their work.
