About the event
The largest AI event in the world, for discovering AI-first products and solutions. Instead of walking a trade-show floor, you swipe a personalized feed and save what is worth a closer look. See exactly how it works.
NextAI Expo runs October 22–24, 2026. It's 100% virtual, so you can join from any browser on desktop or mobile — no travel required.
It is 100% virtual, so there is no convention centre, booth build or travel to pay for. Optional add-ons for exhibitors help support the event and keep it free for everyone.
We're expecting 1,000+ AI products and 100,000+ attendees across three days, which makes NextAI Expo the largest AI event in the world.
Attendees range from individual buyers to senior executives, decision-makers and investors; exhibitors range from early-stage startups to established teams.
No. NextAI Expo runs entirely in your browser. It's fully responsive, so the experience works the same on a phone, tablet or laptop.
Attending NextAI Expo
Nothing. Attendee access is completely free for all three days. Reserve your free pass.
The categories you pick at sign-up. Choose the ones your team cares about and your feed is built from those — change them any time.
Yes. Everything you swipe right on is saved to your shortlist, which you can browse anytime during — and after — the event.
Yes. Verify your official work email once, then start a direct chat from any showcase in your shortlist.
No — any email works to create your account and browse the swipe feed. To message exhibitors directly, you'll need to verify with your official work email address.
Your saved shortlist and any conversations you've started stay available for the full three days of the event, so you can pick up right where you left off.
Exhibiting at NextAI Expo
No. Every application is read by a human and judged on whether the work is genuinely new. Free to apply is not the same as guaranteed a spot.
Yes. There is no application fee and no booth fee, and no credit card is required to apply or to exhibit.
We're planning for 1,000+ showcases, and we do not fill them just to hit the number. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis against one question: is this genuinely new?
