The future of systems & intelligence.
AXIS is an invitation-led summit for the engineers, researchers and operators building the next layer of computation — where infrastructure, models, and interfaces converge.
Featured speakers
A curated lineup shaping the edge of the field.
3 days. One signal.
Every minute engineered for depth — keynotes, workshops, hands-on labs.
6 concurrent tracks.
Choose your own adventure across the program.
Frontier Models
Architecture, training systems and the next generation of foundation research.
Infrastructure
Compute, fabrics, schedulers, storage and the silicon underneath the stack.
Security & Trust
Adversarial robustness, sandboxing, supply chain and post-quantum cryptography.
Developer Experience
SDKs, agents, evaluators and the tools that make AI systems shippable in production.
Applied Research
Reproducible benchmarks, novel architectures and the empirical edges of capability.
Interfaces & Agents
Human-in-the-loop systems, multi-agent protocols and the next computing surface.
Backed by builders.

Common questions.
What's included with general admission?
Full three-day access to all six tracks, the demo floor and the research mezzanine. Workshops require a separate ticket. All meals and the closing-night reception at the Ferry Building are included.
Can I attend remotely?
Yes — every keynote and main-stage talk is broadcast live with captioning and chapter markers. Remote tickets include 90 days of on-demand access and direct Q&A in moderated threads.
Are there scholarships available?
We offer 200 fully-funded passes each year for students, independent researchers and underrepresented engineers. Applications open eight weeks before the summit and close two weeks before.
Can my company sponsor a track?
Track sponsorships are limited to four partners per edition. Contact partners@axis-summit.io for the prospectus — we evaluate fit on technical alignment, not budget.
What's the refund policy?
Full refunds up to 60 days before the event. Within 60 days, tickets are transferable to another attendee or convertible into a remote pass at no additional cost.
Will sessions be recorded?
All main-stage talks and panels are recorded and released publicly under CC-BY-4.0 within 30 days. Workshops and roundtables are off-the-record by default.
Secure your seat at the edge.
Early-bird pricing closes May 31. After that, GA passes increase by 35% and workshops sell out within the week.
