Physical AI Conference: A Must-Attend Event for the Future of AI
The Physical AI Conference, a key event for the evolution of robotics and autonomous systems, is set to transform Silicon Valley into a hub of innovation in May 2026. This conference will bring together the brightest minds in engineering and artificial intelligence, all committed to the mission of bringing artificial intelligence into the physical world.
The North America Physical AI Expo will take place on May 18 and 19, 2026 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. This two-day event will gather global AI pioneers, leaders in robotics, and cutting-edge infrastructure providers to discuss the future of AI in the physical realm.
Physical AI: An Industrial Revolution in Progress
As artificial intelligence moves beyond simple software applications to integrate into robotics and industrial automation, a new era of physical AI is emerging. The manufacturing, logistics, automotive, and defense sectors are heavily investing in systems capable of perceiving and acting in real-world environments. The Physical AI Expo aims to explore this transformation and understand how to transition from experimentation to large-scale production.
The Challenges of Physical AI
The conference will highlight how physical AI is redefining industrial operations. Discussions will focus on integrating intelligence into machines and autonomous systems, as well as building an infrastructure capable of supporting these innovations. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about enterprise-scale deployment strategies and discover the tools necessary to develop intelligent systems.
A Program Rich in Expertise
The conference program is designed to provide a deep technical understanding, coupled with concrete deployment strategies. It will cover various aspects such as:
- Physical AI and enterprise-scale robotics
- Autonomous systems and industrial automation
- AI infrastructure, data platforms, and computing
- Enterprise AI deployment and return on investment
- Human-AI collaboration
- Reliability, transparency, and security of AI
- From prototypes to production
- Tools and workflows for AI developers
Two Days of Discoveries and Innovations
Day One: AI Strategy, Infrastructure, and Data
The first day will be dedicated to AI strategy and business transformation. Sessions will focus on autonomous intelligence and large-scale data infrastructure, essential for deploying physical AI.
Day Two: Robotics, Autonomous Systems, and AI in the Real World
The second day will explore the transition from physical AI prototypes to production, particularly in the fields of robotics and automation. Participants will learn how companies are overcoming challenges related to scalability and reliability.
Global Leaders on Stage
The Physical AI Conference will feature renowned experts from leading AI and robotics organizations. Among them:
- Leslie Karpas, Global Head of Physical AI at NVIDIA
- Arne Stoschek, VP of AI and Autonomous at Airbus Acubed
- Jose Alvarez, Director of Research at NVIDIA
- Dr. Vinesh Sukumar, Vice President of AI at Qualcomm
