​🎓 2. Learn What's Actually Working — From the People Who Built It

​Skip the trend reports. Get the unfiltered version, straight from the source.

The headline theme: The Rise of OpenClaw — the shift from "AI assists you" to "AI executes for you," and the defining transition of 2026.

​Deep-dive tracks include:

  • Vertical Claws — execution-grade agents in Coding, Finance, Security, Infra, Legal, and Healthcare
  • Agent Orchestration — multi-agent coordination and the emerging middleware stack
  • Autonomous Workflows — full end-to-end systems already running in production
  • AI-Native Enterprises — companies rebuilt from the ground up around agents
  • Multimodal Models at Scale — what's actually deployed, and what's still hype

​No vaporware. No demo-stage theater. Only systems already generating value.

​🎤 3. Pitch on the Main Stage — Applications Open

​If you're building a category-defining AI company, this is your direct line to the investors who actually move markets.

​We're convening the same networks behind Hugging Face, Perplexity, and other breakout names — Sequoia, Lightspeed, BlackRock, and more.

First-round selection is already underway.

​💼 4. Where Capital, Talent, and Partnerships Actually Move

​What happens at the Summit — beyond the stage:
