Think!AI - A Beyond Big Data Summit 2026

Where Pittsburgh’s AI Community Gets Real About AI

Now in its 13th year, the Pittsburgh Technology Council’s Think!AI Summit brings together the people building, deploying and leading AI initiatives to examine what’s working, what’s emerging and what’s next.

AI is rapidly moving from experimentation into the infrastructure of organizations, and increasingly into the physical world. Agentic AI is beginning to reshape workflows. AI-powered robotics and autonomous systems are changing how work gets done. Organizations are rethinking how people, data and intelligent systems work together.

But adoption also raises harder questions. Where is AI delivering meaningful returns? Where is it falling short? How should organizations govern increasingly autonomous systems? And which emerging capabilities deserve attention now?

Think!AI brings together executives, technologists, AI practitioners, researchers and innovators for candid conversations about those questions.

From agentic and physical AI to enterprise applications, robotics, manufacturing, healthcare and responsible deployment, the Summit focuses on practical experience rather than hype.

Come to Think!AI to see what AI looks like when it leaves the slide deck and enters the real world.
