About AI Engineer Summit
AI Engineer Summit is the leading conference for the emerging discipline of AI engineering — focused on practitioners building real applications with foundation models. Founded by Swyx (Shawn Wang) in 2023, it brings together engineers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and hundreds of AI-native startups to share patterns for production LLM systems, agents, and evals.
Unlike academic AI conferences, AI Engineer Summit is hands-on and code-first. Talks are dense with implementation detail, making it the go-to event for engineering leaders deciding how to operationalize AI in their stack.
