General

About the event

NextAI Expo is an AI expo — specifically, the largest AI event of 2026 — for discovering AI‑first products, services and solutions. Instead of walking a trade‑show floor, attendees browse a personalized feed of exhibitors and swipe right to save the ones 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.

We're expecting 1,000+ cutting-edge AI products and 100,000+ attendees, making NextAI Expo the largest AI event of 2026.

Attendees range from individual buyers to senior executives, decision‑makers and investors evaluating AI‑first tools; exhibitors range from early‑stage startups to established vendors building them.

No. NextAI Expo runs entirely in your browser. It's fully responsive, so the experience works the same on a phone, tablet or laptop.

Attendees

Attending NextAI Expo

Nothing. Attendee access is completely free for all three days — we make our margin from exhibitor plans, not attendee tickets. Reserve your free pass.

Your feed is ranked using the interests you set at sign‑up. Within that relevance ranking, Pro and Prime exhibitors appear more frequently than Basic exhibitors — but we never show something irrelevant just because it's on a paid plan.

Yes. Everything you swipe right on is saved to your shortlist, which you can browse anytime during — and after — the event.

Direct messaging is available for Pro and Prime exhibitors. Basic exhibitors include a link to their website, so you can still reach out directly there.

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.

Exhibitors

Exhibiting at NextAI Expo

A showcase page with your logo, tagline, description and a link to your website — listed in the swipe feed at standard visibility. No credit card required. See the full plan comparison.

Everything in Basic, plus 3x the visibility in the swipe feed, a video demo on your showcase page, and direct messaging with attendees.

Everything in Pro, plus another 3x visibility on top of Pro's reach (9x Basic in total) and a custom booth background color to match your brand.

Every exhibitor gets a baseline number of feed impressions. Pro multiplies that baseline by 3x; Prime multiplies Pro's number by another 3x. Attendee interest relevance is always applied first — plan tier increases how often you're shown within a relevant audience, not to irrelevant ones.

Yes — you can start on Basic and upgrade to Pro or Prime any time before the event opens on October 22, 2026. Apply to exhibit.

Basic requires no payment. If you apply for Pro or Prime, we'll send an invoice once your application is approved — your showcase goes live after payment is confirmed.

Custom booth brand color is a Prime‑exclusive feature. Basic and Pro showcase pages use our standard layout and color treatment.

We're planning for 1,000+ exhibitor spots across all plans. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so earlier applications have a better shot at premium placement.
