The programme is a single track with 16 talks across two days. Topics focus on applied AI: large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), autonomous agent architectures, and the practicalities of deploying AI in production. The CFP is open. Group discounts apply for three or more tickets. ## Why a single-track format at this scale The organisers' decision to run a single track with 16 talks reflects a specific editorial stance: depth and curated relevance over volume. Attendees follow the same programme rather than choosing between parallel sessions, which creates a shared frame of reference across the room and eliminates the dilution that comes with multi-track events where attendance is fragmented. ## Who attends The AI Conf - Engineering leads and senior engineers deploying LLMs and AI agents in production - Product managers and technology directors making AI build-vs-buy decisions - Data scientists and ML engineers integrating AI into enterprise data pipelines - CTO-level professionals evaluating AI adoption strategy - Practitioners responsible for AI implementation in mid-to-large organisations ## What The AI Conf format includes - Two full conference days with a single content track - 16 curated talks across the two-day programme - Group discount for three or more ticket purchases - In-person event at Auditori l'Illa in Barcelona ## What The AI Conf programme covers - Large language models: architecture, fine-tuning, and enterprise deployment - Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): implementation patterns and production considerations - Autonomous agents: agent frameworks, tool use, and orchestration - AI in production: monitoring, cost management, and reliability - Business impact measurement for AI initiatives ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### How many sessions are in the programme? The programme consists of 16 talks across two days, all in a single track. There are no parallel sessions. ### Is the CFP still open? Yes. The CFP is open as of 18 May 2026. Check theconf.ai for submission details and deadlines. ### Is there a group discount? Yes. Group discounts are available for purchases of three or more tickets. Contact the organiser via theconf.ai for group booking details. ### Who is The AI Conf NOT designed for? Developers seeking hands-on coding workshops, hackathon formats, or deep technical AI research presentations will find the enterprise-implementation focus of this event less aligned with their needs. It is not an introductory AI event and not aimed at those without a direct role in AI adoption decisions. Those looking for a broad multi-track developer conference with many parallel sessions will not find that format here. ## The venue: Auditori l'Illa, Barcelona Auditori l'Illa is an auditorium within the L'Illa Diagonal shopping and office complex on Avinguda Diagonal in Barcelona. The complex is served by Metro line L3 (Maria Cristina station) and is accessible by bus and on foot from the Les Corts and Eixample districts. The auditorium provides a single-hall format suited to a single-track conference. ## The organiser: The AI Conf The AI Conf is the organising body behind the event of the same name. It is positioned as a conference for practitioners responsible for enterprise AI implementation rather than a research or community event.
