AGENDA

The tracks

Six conversations across one day. Each practitioner-led, real-world, and ready to action on Monday.

AI Architecture

System design for AI-native applications — patterns, trade-offs, and what’s actually working.

  • RAG patterns
  • LLM gateways
  • Inference

CALL FOR PAPERS · OPEN

Speak at the summit

Got something real to say about AI engineering? We want to hear from you.

We’re looking for speakers who’ve been in the trenches — not polished vendor pitches, but honest, experience-driven talks that practitioners can take back to work on Monday.

📅 CFP closes Aug 15, 2026

AUDIENCE

Who should attend

  • Developers shipping AI-powered products
  • Engineers building intelligent systems

  • Leaders deciding how their org adopts AI

  • Architects designing for scale and reliability

  • Compliance & governance making AI trustworthy

If AI touches your work — you need to be in the room.

DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION

More than sessions

Beyond the structured formats, the entire conference is designed for the conversations between sessions.

Open seating

No assigned seats. Sit next to someone new every session.

Shared lunch

One room, every attendee, no assigned tables.

All-day speaker access

Speakers stay the full day and are available between sessions.

Community board

Post what you’re building, what you need, who you want to meet.

WHY ATTEND?

Built for engineers who ship

Four reasons  this isn’t another AI Conference – none of them theoretical.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS

Ten years of conferences for engineers

AI Engineering Summit launches from Testingmind — the team behind the Test Automation Summit (APAC) and Software Quality Summit (US). After a decade running technical conferences for engineers, we’re now focused on what comes next: AI engineering in production.

“Incredible speakers, top-tier networking, and cutting-edge discussions all in one place.”
