Two days, seven expos, one stand: AI & Big Data Expo 2027 booths in San Jose
AI & Big Data Expo shares one exhibition hall with six other TechEx events, so a stand catches security, IoT and data-center buyers along with AI leaders and has to say which problem it solves in a glance. Exhibitor access opens at 8 a.m. both days.

What makes AI & Big Data Expo North America different, and how we build for it
AI & Big Data Expo North America is the lead event of TechEx North America, which puts seven expos into one hall at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center for two days.A free Expo Pass opens the exhibition hall and the free stages to anyone in the industry, while the $499 Gold Pass adds every paid track, VIP networking drinks and the networking app. TechEx says 52% of its audience works at companies with 5,000+ staff, and students are turned away. The program adds a Physical AI track, an AI Hackathon and a Start Up Area with discounted stands. Because stands sit by event, a stand labelled AI & Big Data still sees cyber, IoT and edge buyers all day.
A business result they can repeat to their board, proof from a company their size, and a short meeting slot booked through the networking app.
A working demo, the code or architecture behind it, and a frank answer about integration with the cloud and data stack they already run.
A plain line on how your AI product touches security, IoT, edge or data-center work, since they reached your stand from a neighbouring expo.

Inside AI & Big Data Expo North America 2027
Rules that shape your AI & Big Data Expo North America booth
TechEx admits industry professionals only and asks students found in theatres or exhibition areas to leave. We plan your stand staffing and any demo helpers with that rule in mind.
Exhibitors can be in the hall from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on June 16 and 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 17, 2027. We build the stand to switch on in minutes so demos run before the first visitors.
Discounted Start Up Area stands are for founders or senior executives of companies with 20 or fewer staff and $10 million or less raised, first come, first served. We size kiosk graphics to that package.
TechEx issues visa invitation letters only to paid pass holders, exhibitors and speakers. International stand staff should be registered on your exhibitor list early so the letter can follow.
Programs worth planning for
Discounted exhibition space for bootstrapped or seed-stage technology companies with 20 or fewer staff and up to $10 million raised; limited and first come, first served.
A hackathon at the San Jose event where developers build live AI solutions, run alongside the expo.
A TechEx track on AI in robotics, autonomous systems and industrial automation, part of the 2027 agenda.
AI & Big Data Expo North America is an independent two-day trade expo with open stand sales; choose it over Ai4 when you want a lower-cost Silicon Valley stand and buyers from security, IoT and edge as well as AI. Compare every software and cloud show we build for →

The booth we would build for AI & Big Data Expo North America 2027
The crossover stand for a seven-expo floor
TechEx puts seven expos on one floor and the Expo Pass is free, so the aisles carry cyber, IoT and edge buyers as well as AI teams, and 52% of visitors work at companies with 5,000+ staff. The stand speaks to the AI buyer first, keeps a second message for the neighbors, and has to run from 8 a.m. access to the 4 p.m. close on day two.
Use-case header
One line on the business problem, readable from the next event's aisle, since the floor mixes AI visitors with cyber and IoT ones.
Two-screen counter
One screen for the AI result and one for the data pipeline behind it, for the developers who make up nearly a fifth of visitors.
App meeting table
A high table and two stools for meetings booked through the networking app, which opens two weeks before the expo.
Crossover panel
A side panel showing how the product connects to security, IoT or edge systems, for people walking over from the co-located events.
The demo
Run a three-minute use case a director or VP can repeat to their team: data from a familiar enterprise system goes in, the model answers, the screen shows hours saved. Keep a second version ready for the edge or security visitor.
The meetings
Exhibitors and Gold Pass holders get the networking app two weeks out, and networking drinks start at 6 p.m. on June 16. Book stand meetings in the app before travel and use the drinks for follow-ups, because the hall shuts at 4 p.m. on day two.
Turn the data you already hold into decisions this quarter.

Case study · Amazon
Amazon at ESSENCE Festival of Culture, New Orleans
A festival floor, not a tech expo, but Amazon's ESSENCE activation answered the same question an AI & Big Data stand faces: how to make software tangible to a passer-by in seconds.

04 Designing for AI, data, cloud, security, IoT, automation and edge technology vendors at AI & Big Data Expo North America
Designing an AI & Big Data Expo stand for a seven-expo floor
1Speak to the next aisle too
Seven TechEx events share the floor, so half your traffic may come from Cyber Security & Cloud or IoT Tech. We add a side panel that answers the neighbour's question, such as how your model is secured or deployed at the edge, without diluting the AI message.
2Built for an 8 a.m. start
Exhibitor access opens at 8 a.m. on June 16 and 8:30 a.m. on June 17, ahead of sessions at 9:45. We design a stand your team can bring to life in minutes: pre-wired screens, a single power switch and demos that boot to the right page.
3Between-session waves
Paid tracks run in blocks, and the hall fills when they break. A short loop on the main screen, a counter two people can work side by side and a scanner station at the front handle a sudden crowd better than one long presenter demo.
4Two days, then gone
The expo is over by 4 p.m. on day two. We plan a stand that installs and packs fast, with modular frames and fabric graphics, so you pay for less labor and the booth can leave San Jose for its next show the same evening.

Where you could be at AI & Big Data Expo North America 2027
TechEx puts all seven North America events in the San Jose McEnery Convention Center for two days. Here is how the floor works for an AI stand, from the organizer's own pages.
Main Exhibition Hall and Tradeshow
The shared floor for all seven TechEx events, open to free Expo Pass holders; stands are numbered and tagged by event.
Our advice Visitors arrive from security, IoT and edge zones as well as AI, so we give your stand one panel that answers their question.
Free expo stages
Stages on the expo floor open to every pass, including the free Expo Pass, alongside the TechEx Learning Hub sessions.
Our advice A stand near a free stage gets crowds at each break; we keep the front open and the demo loop running.
Start Up Area
A dedicated zone with discounted stands for qualifying startups with 20 or fewer staff and $10 million or less in funding.
Our advice Startup stands are small set units; we supply graphics, a counter and a screen sized to the package.

AI & Big Data Expo North America exhibitor questions
AI & Big Data Expo North America 2027 FAQ
When is AI & Big Data Expo North America 2027?
AI & Big Data Expo North America runs June 16–17, 2027. Exhibitors have access from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on June 16 and 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 17, and networking drinks start at 6 p.m. on the first evening.
Where is AI & Big Data Expo North America 2027 held?
The McEnery Convention Center on West San Carlos Street hosts it for 2027, next to the six other TechEx North America events.
How much does it cost to attend AI & Big Data Expo?
The Expo Pass is free and covers the exhibition hall and free stages. The Gold Pass costs $499 and adds all paid conference tracks, VIP networking drinks, the networking lounge and the app. Startups can apply for a $499 Startup Pass.
How much does a stand at AI & Big Data Expo cost?
TechEx does not publish stand prices; it quotes stand and sponsorship packages on request. Building the stand is a separate line: about $7,500 to $15,000 to rent a 10×20 from Purple, or $50,000 to $120,000 for a custom 20×20 island, plus venue labor and freight.
What events are co-located with AI & Big Data Expo North America?
Six: Cyber Security & Cloud, IoT Tech, Digital Transformation, Intelligent Automation & Robotics, Edge Computing and Data Center, plus a Physical AI track and an AI Hackathon. A Gold Pass covers sessions at all of them.
How many people attend AI & Big Data Expo North America?
8,000+ attendees, 250+ speakers and 250+ exhibitors over two days across the seven co-located events, per TechEx. Its audience profile lists 71.2% of attendees from the USA and 52% from companies with more than 5,000 staff.
Is there a startup area at AI & Big Data Expo?
Yes: the Start Up Area offers discounted stands to founders or senior executives of companies with 20 or fewer staff and $10 million or less in funding that build technology products. Spaces are limited and go first come, first served.
Can students attend AI & Big Data Expo North America?
No. TechEx says its conferences and expos are for industry professionals only, and students found in the theatres or exhibition areas are asked to leave, so booth interns or student helpers should not be in your staffing plan.
Who gets into the networking drinks and app?
Sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, Gold Pass holders and press. The networking drinks run on the evening of June 16, and the app opens two weeks before the event, which is when we suggest booking stand meetings.
What time do exhibitors get in at AI & Big Data Expo 2027?
8 a.m. on June 16 and 8:30 a.m. on June 17, before conference sessions begin at 9:45 a.m. Plan to have demos running before the first visitors arrive.
Can you build and install our stand in San Jose?
Yes. We build in our Fishkill shop, ship to the advance warehouse and install in San Jose with our own project manager directing the labor the venue requires, and demos are tested on site before exhibitor access opens on June 16.
Can we reuse the stand at other AI shows?
A modular stand from San Jose can return for Ai4 at The Venetian in August or The AI Summit New York at the end of the year, and TechEx runs sister expos in London and Amsterdam if you exhibit abroad.
Is AI & Big Data Expo North America worth it for a startup?
Often, because entry costs stay low. Qualifying startups get discounted Start Up Area stands, a $499 Startup Pass covers the paid tracks, and the free Expo Pass brings in directors, VPs and engineers from large companies.
What is the difference between AI & Big Data Expo North America and Ai4?
Format and city. AI & Big Data Expo is a two-day TechEx expo in San Jose in June with a free Expo Pass; Ai4 is a four-day conference at The Venetian in Las Vegas in August, with tiered sponsor packages and a 21-and-over rule.
Before you sign for AI & Big Data Expo North America
Five questions to ask any exhibit builder for AI & Big Data Expo North America:
- Which contractor and advance warehouse does TechEx name for the McEnery Convention Center in 2027, and when does the kit arrive?
- Can the stand be powered and running before the 8 a.m. exhibitor access on June 16?
- Can the side panels swap so the stand speaks to cyber or IoT visitors from the co-located events?
- How will you dismantle and ship out after access ends at 4 p.m. on June 17?
- Can you build a Start Up Area kit that ships in cases and goes up without tools?
What AI & Big Data Expo North America exhibitors ask us
The Expo Pass is free. Will the stand fill with browsers? Less than you might fear. TechEx admits industry professionals only, turns students away and counts 52% of attendees from companies with 5,000+ staff; one qualifying question at the counter handles the rest.
Only two days. Is a custom stand worth shipping to San Jose? For a first visit, a rental 10×20 with two screens is usually the better buy. A custom island pays off for Gold to Headline sponsors who will reuse it at other AI shows that year.
We are a startup. Should we take the Start Up Area? If you qualify, yes: 20 or fewer staff and up to $10 million raised gets a discounted stand on the same floor as the main expo, while the spaces last.
