Immerse Yourself in the Future of AI With These Unique Expo Hotspots

Special Events

Request to become a Special Event Partner

SCSP will provide a dedicated room at the AI+ Expo for a two-hour time block to host your own programming. You will curate the session as you see fit—such as a panel discussion, a fireside chat or to make a major announcement. Your programming must fit within our themes and align with SCSP’s mission. 

No cost associated with partnering: SCSP will provide the space, A/V support (screen, mics, podium, etc), a stage with chairs on the stage. All at no cost — all we ask is that you share your special event will be held at the AI+ Expo with your network. 

Exhibit Floor is officially open on May 7th, 8th and 9th, we have reserved May 6th exclusively for high-impact partner programming and special events. On May 6th, there is no competition for attendee attention from the exhibition floor and speakers on our main stages.
