What makes The AI Summit New York different, and how we build for it
The AI Summit New York, run by Informa and in its eleventh year in 2026, is built around applied enterprise AI: return on investment, governance and moving from pilot to production.The 2026 edition expected 7,500+ attendees, 350+ speakers on 11 stages and 200+ exhibitors and solution providers at the Javits Center. Its ambassador chapter includes leaders from JPMorgan Chase, The Walt Disney Company, Vanguard and Bank of America. The floor adds AI Demo Tours, The AI Clinic, The Networking Café, Hosted Buyer Meetings and a Start-up & Investor Village with a pitching competition whose winner gets a pod for the next edition. The AIconics Awards run alongside.
A use case from their own industry, the return in plain numbers and a reference they recognise, delivered in a few minutes on a two-day floor.
A working demo with the architecture visible, governance and security answers, and someone who can talk deployment, not just strategy.
The Start-up Village pods, a quick read of each company's traction, and a corner to keep a pitch conversation going.
Your team in New York
How Purple runs The AI Summit New York
Our Fishkill, NY shop builds, prints and test-assembles the booth, then trucks it down the Hudson Valley to the 2027 venue Informa names, or to the advance warehouse its exhibitor manual lists. Your Purple project manager directs the union crews the building requires on the floor, and the booth returns to storage in Fishkill after the second day.
Inside The AI Summit New York 2027
AI Summit New York rules that shape your booth
In 2026, VIP, speaker and exhibitor badges use the entrance nearest Hall 1A, while delegate and expo badges use the one nearest Hall 1C. We send your staff the right door with their move-in schedule.
Start-up & Investor rates need fewer than 50 employees, a company no more than three years old and under $3 million raised. We size Village pod graphics for qualifying startups.
At the Javits, only small booths under the 250-square-foot line, assembled by hand by your own employees, avoid union labor. Your project manager orders and supervises those crews.
Programs worth planning for
A Village of startup pods with investor sessions on day one and a pitching competition on day two; the winner gets a free pod and a speaking slot at the next edition.
A summit program that sets up meetings between buyers and solution providers, listed in the 2026 agenda menu.
Informa's AI awards program, run alongside The AI Summit New York.
The AI Summit New York is Informa's independent enterprise AI expo; choose it over HumanX when your buyers are New York's banks, insurers, retailers and media groups and you want an open booth floor rather than pre-booked meetings.

The booth we would build for The AI Summit New York 2027
The Demo Tour stop with a hosted-buyer table
The summit walks groups across the floor on AI Demo Tours and books Hosted Buyer Meetings, and its buyers come from banks, insurers, retailers and media groups that want a business result, not a model card. So this booth is built around one short demo that a tour group of six can watch from the aisle, with a table behind it for the booked buyer.
Tour rail
A waist-high rail and a large screen at the aisle edge, where a Demo Tour group stands for three minutes without blocking the next booth.
Sector wall
Back-wall panels that name the sector and the measured result, such as claims hours saved for an insurer or fraud losses cut for a bank, swapped per audience.
Buyer table
A four-seat table behind a half wall for Hosted Buyer Meetings, with a shared screen the engineer can drive.
Risk counter
A small counter where a technical lead takes the security, data residency and model-risk questions that regulated New York buyers ask first.
The demo
Run one workflow from a named industry on realistic data: a claim, a trade exception or a product listing goes in, and the screen shows the time saved and the control that logged each step. Keep it under three minutes so a Demo Tour leaves with the number.
The meetings
Hosted Buyer Meetings put booked buyers in front of solution providers, while The AI Clinic and The Networking Café pull people off the floor between sessions. A seated table inside the booth keeps a booked meeting from turning into an aisle chat, and two show days leave no slack to reschedule.
From pilot to production, with the audit trail.
Your team walks into a lit, stocked AI Summit New York booth. You just show up.

04 Designing for enterprise AI platforms, infrastructure, consultancies and AI startups at The AI Summit New York
Designing for AI Summit New York's Demo Tours and buyer meetings
1Lead with the industry result
New York buyers come from banks, insurers, retailers and media groups. We put the industry and the measured result on the back wall, such as hours saved in claims or fraud caught, and keep the model and platform detail on the demo screen.
2Ready for the Demo Tours
The summit runs AI Demo Tours that bring groups through the floor. We design a demo that runs in three minutes for a group of six, with a screen large enough to read from the edge of the aisle and a host who can hand off to an engineer.
3A pod that still looks finished
Start-up Village pods are small set units. We supply a printed backwall panel, a counter with a screen mount and a light, all carried in by hand, so a startup pod looks as considered as a sponsor booth.
4Two days, one shot
With only two show days, a booth that installs late or a demo that fails on day one costs half the event. We pre-build and test the booth in Fishkill, and your project manager rehearses the demo on site before the doors open.

Where you could be at The AI Summit New York 2027
The 2027 venue is not confirmed yet. In 2026 the summit uses the Javits Center's Level 1 halls; here is how that building works for an AI booth, from Purple's Javits guide.
Level 1 halls (1A to 1E)
The lower exhibit level, roughly a quarter million square feet, with docks opening straight onto it and lower clear heights than Level 3; the 2026 summit's entrances sit by Halls 1A and 1C.
Our advice We check the ceiling before designing tall, and freight to Level 1 moves faster during targeted move-in.
Marshaling facility
Carriers report to the Javits' indoor truck marshaling building and are called forward to a dock in turn.
Our advice Every piece is labelled with hall, booth number and show name so it is called to the right dock.
Special Events Hall and Level 4
A 100,000 square foot column-free hall and a ballroom above it, used for keynotes and galas.
Our advice Carpeted rooms mean light, hand-moved builds; sponsor graphics for a keynote room are made to carry in.
05 New York, NY
AI Summit New York 2027 venue, freight and Javits labor
The 2027 venue is not confirmed yet. The 2026 summit sits in the Javits Center's Level 1 halls, where exhibitors enter near Hall 1A. If Informa returns to the Javits, the building's union rules apply: every crate travels dock to booth with the Teamsters, carpentry covers any booth larger than 250 square feet or built with tools, and power belongs to the electricians. Our Fishkill shop is a short drive up the Hudson Valley, so a truck can leave the shop at dawn and reach the dock that morning, and your Purple project manager directs the union crews. We file the EAC paperwork and orders once Informa releases the 2027 exhibitor manual.
What Purple handles
- Informa exhibitor manual forms, EAC paperwork and labor orders
- Union crews directed by your project manager in New York
- Start-up Village pod graphics, counters and screens
- Same-day trucking from our Fishkill shop up the Hudson
- Demo counters tested at the shop before the booth leaves

What AI Summit New York exhibitors should know before December
In 2026 exhibitor badges use the Javits entrance closest to Hall 1A, while Delegate and Expo passes use the one by Hall 1C; send booth staff to the 1A doors on the first morning. source
Every badge QR code sits in the event app, which opened in November for the 2026 edition; staff with no QR code email by early December should contact Informa before they travel. source
Informa's Exhibitor Portal went live before the end of September for 2026 and each sponsor got a login by email, so a package signed in the fall leaves only weeks for the forms. source
The Javits has no public parking on site; rideshare drop-off is at 38th Street and 11th Avenue and the M42 bus runs around the clock, which matters for staff arriving before dawn. source
Informa books discounted rooms through HotelMap and admits no one under 18, so book staff through the summit link and leave younger helpers off the booth roster. source
Who you meet on the floor
The summit's ambassador chapter includes JPMorgan Chase, Vanguard and Bank of America; regulated buyers come to find AI that will pass their own risk review.
Informa lists them first in its audience; they want a use case from their own sector and the return in plain numbers.
They sit in the deep tracks and The AI Clinic, then test architecture, governance and deployment claims at the booth.
The Start-up & Investor Village runs investor sessions on day one and a pitching competition judged by New York VCs on day two.

The AI Summit New York exhibitor questions
The AI Summit New York 2027: exhibitor questions
When is The AI Summit New York 2027?
The 2027 dates are not confirmed yet. Informa's current edition runs Wednesday and Thursday, December 9–10, 2026, at the Javits Center, and we will plan your 2027 build as soon as the new dates post.
Where is The AI Summit New York held?
Not confirmed yet for 2027; Informa has not named a venue. The 2026 summit uses the Javits Center on 11th Avenue, with VIP, speaker and exhibitor badges using the entrance nearest Hall 1A and delegate and expo badges the entrance nearest Hall 1C.
How many people attend The AI Summit New York?
7,500+ attendees are expected at the 2026 edition, per Informa, with 350+ speakers on 11 stages and 200+ exhibitors and solution providers. The 2027 figures are not confirmed yet.
How do we exhibit at The AI Summit New York?
Through Informa's sponsorship team, which sells exhibit and sponsor packages built to each company's goals and offers a brochure and an animated floorplan. Startups can take a Start-up Village pod, with or without a pitching competition entry.
How much does a booth at The AI Summit New York cost?
Informa quotes its packages privately, so there is no public rate card. Purple's build is a separate line: about $7,500 to $15,000 to rent a 10×20 or $50,000 to $120,000 for a custom 20×20 island, plus union labor, power and drayage in New York.
What is the Start-up & Investor Village?
It is the summit's area for AI startups and investors. Day one brings investor-led sessions and the Village showcase; day two runs the pitching competition, judged by New York VCs, and the winner gets a free Village pod and a speaking slot at the next edition.
How much is an expo pass at The AI Summit New York?
For 2026, Informa lists the Expo pass at $129, the Delegate pass at $2,399 and the VIP All Access pass at $2,999, with those rates ending December 8, 2026. 2027 prices are not confirmed yet.
Who attends The AI Summit New York?
Business leaders, product and unit leaders, technical experts, founders, civil society leads and investors, per Informa. Speakers in 2026 come from companies such as PepsiCo, McKesson, TD Bank and The Walt Disney Company.
Can we set up our own booth at the Javits Center?
Only a small one. Javits rules let full-time exhibitor staff assemble a booth themselves if it stays at or under 250 square feet and needs neither tools nor a ladder; anything larger is union work, which your Purple project manager orders and directs.
What does drayage cost at the Javits Center?
About $195 per hundredweight is Purple's Javits planning rate for 2026 and 2027, with a 200-pound minimum per shipment; Informa's exhibitor manual sets the actual rate. A lighter aluminum booth from Fishkill keeps that line low.
Where should booth staff stay for The AI Summit New York?
Near Hudson Yards and the far west 30s, for the 2026 Javits venue: the 7 train ends a block from the hall, and Informa offers discounted rooms through HotelMap. The 2027 hotel arrangements are not confirmed yet.
Can we reuse our AI Summit New York booth?
Yes. A booth from New York can be stored at our Fishkill shop and sent to HumanX in March, Ai4 in August or AI & Big Data Expo North America in June, with industry headers swapped for each crowd.
Is The AI Summit New York worth it for a startup?
It can be, at low cost. Start-up & Investor rates apply to companies with fewer than 50 staff, no more than three years old and under $3 million raised, and the Village adds investor sessions plus a pitching competition whose winner gets a free pod next year.
What is the difference between The AI Summit New York and HumanX?
The AI Summit New York is an open expo floor in Manhattan for enterprise buyers from finance, retail, health and media. HumanX runs in Las Vegas in March and centers on SolutionBridge, a hosted program that books each buyer eight vendor meetings.
Before you sign for AI Summit New York
Five things to ask every builder quoting The AI Summit New York:
- If Informa stays at the Javits Center for 2027, will you file as our EAC and order the Teamster, carpenter and electrician labor a booth over 250 square feet needs?
- How will you label our freight so the Javits marshaling building calls it to the right Level 1 dock?
- Can a Demo Tour group of six read our screen from the aisle edge without crowding the neighbors?
- Can you send a Start-up Village pod kit that one person carries in: back panel, counter and light?
- What is your plan if December snow or a closed road slows the truck between Fishkill and Manhattan?
What The AI Summit New York exhibitors ask us
Informa has not named 2027 dates or a venue. Can we plan anyway? Yes. Pick the package and the story now; the 2026 summit sat in the Javits Level 1 halls, so we design a modular booth that fits that building and adjust the drawings once Informa posts the 2027 venue.
We only bought a Start-up Village pod. Is it worth dressing? Lightly, yes. A pod is a small set unit, so a printed back panel, a counter with a screen mount and one light, all carried in by hand, make it look finished without union labor at the Javits.
There are only two show days. How do we avoid losing the first one? Build and switch on the whole booth at our Fishkill shop before it travels, truck it to Manhattan on the move-in morning, and rehearse the demo on the floor before doors open, because a dead first day costs half the event.
