Think big. Think future. Think!AI.

Join 300+ technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and business leaders for a full day focused on artificial intelligence strategy, innovation, and real-world impact.

Now in its 12th year, Think!AI builds on more than a decade of bringing together the technologists, innovators, and executives shaping what’s next in data and artificial intelligence. Long before AI was trending, we were talking about it.

Since 2015, our annual summit has evolved alongside the technology—from big data and automation to machine learning and generative AI—while staying grounded in what matters most: how intelligent systems are actually being deployed to improve operations, elevate customer and patient experiences, manage risk, and drive measurable growth across industries.

For more than a decade, Think!AI has been Pittsburgh’s home for practical AI insight and innovation. This is not about theory or hype—it’s about execution and impact.

Why This Matters Now

AI has moved beyond experimentation. Today’s leaders are being asked to deliver results—while navigating governance, risk, ethics, and rapidly evolving technologies.

Across sectors, organizations are shifting from pilots to production:

• Applying data and automation to operational decision-making
• Scaling intelligent systems across complex environments
• Aligning AI investments with real business outcomes

Think!AI focuses on execution, not exploration.

Who Should Attend

• Executives driving digital transformation and enterprise AI strategy
• CIOs, CTOs, Chief Data Officers, and IT leaders
• Manufacturing, healthcare, and technology innovators
• Data scientists, engineers, and AI practitioners
• Ecosystem partners

Why Attend Think!AI

• Learn from organizations actively deploying AI in mission-critical environments
• Explore practical, cross-industry use cases that translate beyond a single sector
• Gain clarity on AI strategy, governance, and risk
• Network with peers and decision-makers shaping Pittsburgh’s AI ecosystem

You’ll leave with insights you can apply immediately—whether you’re refining strategy, scaling solutions, or managing enterprise risk.
