Call For Presentations
The AI Conference 2025 – San Francisco, Sept 17–18
Are you ready to share your breakthrough ideas, hard-won lessons, and visionary insights with a community of over 2800 AI innovators? We invite researchers, engineers, founders, policymakers, and thought leaders from across the AI ecosystem to apply to speak at The AI Conference 2025. This is your chance to shape the conversation at one of the world’s fastest-growing AI events.
What We’re Looking For
At AI Conference 2025, we aren’t just interested in surface-level overviews. We want in-depth, engaging, and thought-provoking presentations that explore the most critical topics in AI today—and tomorrow. Whether you’re pushing the boundaries of AI research, developing the next generation of tools and frameworks, strategizing on AI’s societal impact, or sharing real-world case studies, we want to hear your story.
Our call spans four dynamic tracks, each designed to tackle a different aspect of the AI revolution:
Track Overviews
This is our marquee general session, spotlighting the very cutting edge of AI research and innovation.
Topics include:
- Next-gen foundation models and multimodal AI
- AI alignment, safety, and interpretability
- Emergent behaviors and breakthrough research in generative AI
- Open-source vs. proprietary innovations
If your work is redefining what AI can do—if you’re building models that challenge our expectations or unearthing new insights about AI’s inner workings—we want you on this stage.
For the engineers, developers, and tech builders crafting tomorrow’s AI applications.
Topics include:
- Cutting-edge frameworks and LLMOps
- Techniques for model optimization, compression, and efficient deployment
- Integration of vector databases, knowledge graphs, and AI-first systems
- Autonomous agents and developer tools that simplify AI integration
If you’ve built a tool, library, or infrastructure solution that empowers other developers, or if you’re pioneering novel methods to optimize AI performance, share your expertise with our community of builders.
For leaders, policymakers, and strategists examining the broader implications of AI.
Topics include:
- AI governance, ethics, and responsible AI frameworks
- Regulatory challenges and policy responses globally
- Economic impact, workforce transformation, and industry disruption
- Global AI competition and the strategic landscape
We’re looking for presentations that move beyond the technical details to address the big-picture questions. How do we ensure that AI is developed and deployed responsibly? How can we balance innovation with safeguards that protect society?
For practitioners who have taken AI out of the lab and into the real world.
Topics include:
- In-depth case studies from healthcare, finance, robotics, and beyond
- Scaling AI infrastructure and integrating AI into existing systems
- Overcoming practical challenges in AI deployment
- Lessons learned from both success and failure
If you’ve implemented AI projects that transformed your industry, or if you’ve navigated the complexities of deploying AI at scale, your practical insights are invaluable to peers facing similar challenges.
How to Submit Your Presentation
We’re seeking presentations that are not only technically sound but also inspiring and accessible. When crafting your proposal, consider the following:
- Depth & Substance: Offer detailed insights, data, or case studies that provide real value.
- Impact: What is the key takeaway for your audience? How can your talk change the way they think or work with AI?
- Engagement: We love bold, thought-provoking perspectives. Don’t shy away from discussing challenges or controversial topics—just be sure to back up your ideas with clear evidence and practical examples.
