Marking its 10th anniversary, The AI Summit New York returns to the Javits Center on December 10–11, offering the East Coast’s longest-running commercial AI gathering an expanded and celebratory edition. What began as a forward-looking conference has evolved into a defining hub for enterprise AI adoption, and this year’s milestone underscores just how far the industry has come in a decade. The 2025 edition promises two immersive days of programming designed to showcase both practical enterprise applications and visionary innovations, blending case study-driven content with experiential showcases.
The summit will feature ten stages of content, hands-on workshops, and deep-dive sessions that guide enterprises in scaling AI from proof-of-concept to mission-critical deployment. Returning favorites such as the Robotics & AI Playground, the Start-Up & Investor Village, and the prestigious AIconics Awards will be bigger than ever, creating a dynamic environment where business leaders, researchers, and innovators can connect. Caroline Hicks, Senior Director of The AI Summit Series, emphasized that the event is both a celebration of AI’s transformation from theory to indispensable reality and a preview of the transformative decade to come.
Headlining the anniversary summit is a diverse roster of world-class speakers spanning industries and institutions. From Walmart’s EVP & CTO Vinod Bidarkoppa and Ford’s Chief Data and AI Officer Dr. Franziska Bell to United Nations ICT expert Nnanna Kalu-Mba and Mayo Clinic AI leader Svetlana Makarova, the program will capture AI’s broad reach across sectors such as retail, automotive, healthcare, finance, entertainment, and global development. The lineup also includes corporate leaders from Capital One, Dow Jones, Lacoste, BET+, and Johnson & Johnson, reflecting how deeply AI is now woven into enterprise strategy.
