AI Engineer produces the world's highest-signal technical AI conferences — including the AI Engineer World's Fair, the largest technical AI conference for engineers globally. Founded by Shawn "swyx" Wang (who coined the term "AI Engineer"), we've grown from 500 attendees in 2023 to over 7,000 at our 2026 flagship, with a sub-5% talk acceptance rate and speakers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Meta. What sets us apart: we're built by practitioners for practitioners — no vendor fluff, real technical content, and every top talk released free on YouTube. Today we run flagship and partner events across four continents, reaching 400,000+ AI engineers, founders, and technical leaders worldwide.
