About this Event
**This event will be held in person only.
Our biggest event of the year is back!
What technologies will truly have the most influence and impact in your companies and organizations, careers and lives, and society overall in 2026? As we stand on the cusp of another transformative year, it's time to cut through the hype and get to the core of what's next in AI, computing, biotech, energy, and more.
Join us for the Austin Forum's flagship annual event, Tech Trends for 2026 (and Beyond!). Once again, Austin Forum Executive Director Jay Boisseau will bring leading technologists to the stage to analyze what others are predicting, provide their own expert insights and rationale, and debate the most exciting technology opportunities—and risks—of the year ahead.
Attendees will hear a curated, high-level perspective on the innovations that will shape our world. The conversation is always fantastic, and the networking afterward is always stimulating and goes into the night. We hope you can stay to connect with our speakers and fellow attendees!
Please note: This is consistently our largest event of the year. Seating is limited and not guaranteed, so please sign up early. We strongly recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before the 6:15 PM start time to secure your spot.
