Description
AI Infra Summit is a recurring conference dedicated to the infrastructure that AI runs on, rather than AI applications themselves. It is organized by Kisaco Research, an events company registered in London. The next edition runs August 31 to September 2, 2027, at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center; this is a change from the previously stored September 2026 date at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

The event's own framing is that it "uniquely focuses at the infrastructure layer of AI," covering what it calls the bottom four layers of the AI stack (AI Data Centers, Compute, Data Movement, and Data & Models) plus a fifth track on Physical AI. According to the site, AI has a cost problem, an energy consumption problem and a scalability problem, and the summit's premise is that solving these at the infrastructure layer determines how viable continued AI investment and growth will be.
The program includes a main stage, an Expo Theater Agenda, invite-only executive events, and a hackathon. Speakers named for the most recent edition include senior figures from Google, Intel, HCLTech, NVIDIA, Amazon, AMD, Oracle, Qualcomm, OpenAI and Ambarella. According to the site's own counters, the event drew roughly 12,000 attendees, 600 speakers and 350 exhibitors. Attendee organizations span enterprise buyers (Airbus, CVS Health, Eli Lilly, JPMorgan, McDonald's, Walmart), model builders (AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Google Gemini, Meta, Mistral, OpenAI), independent software vendors (Adobe, Atlassian, Cursor, Databricks, ServiceNow, Snowflake), robotics and autonomous-vehicle companies (Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Tesla, Waymo), and compute, data-movement and data-center vendors (AMD, NVIDIA, Micron, Samsung, Equinix, Digital Realty, among others).
Testimonials quoted on the site, from attendees at companies such as Qualcomm, Nokia, Oracle and Microsoft's venture arm M12, describe the event as technically deep, well organized for networking among hyperscalers and neoclouds, and focused on real deployment and scaling challenges rather than general AI hype.
No ticket price is shown on the page itself; the calls to action are "Register Interest" and "Become a Sponsor," with sponsorship organized into Diamond and Platinum partner tiers. The site also offers a downloadable 2026 report and event image gallery from the prior edition. Given the roughly year-long gap between editions and the venue change already reflected here, anyone planning to attend should confirm current dates, venue and ticket details directly on the event's Register page before booking travel.
