Introducing the AI:360 Summit
AI:360 Summit
Applied Intelligence. Feed it. Run it. Use it.
Extreme Tech Challenge — XTC — is proud to announce our 2026 AI:360 Summit —A global event connecting entrepreneurs, corporate executives, investors and policymakers across the full spectrum of AI: energy infrastructure feeding AI, computational infrastructure running AI and real-world practical uses of applied intelligence to solve the world's most urgent challenges.
November 19, 2026
14:00 - 19:00
By Invitation Only
One of the defining challenges of our time. Building on the momentum of XTC’s 2025 call to action at our last Summit—“How do we feed AI?”—this year’s summit expands the conversation into a full lifecycle view of AI through three critical dimensions
Energy generation and infrastructure
Compute, data centers, and efficiency
Applications, physical AI, and real-world impact

A Defining Moment
As AI innovation accelerates, the challenge is to obtain a more immediate return-on-AI, making it imperative that we find more efficient ways of Feeding and Running AI—from alternative energy to next-gen compute architectures—as well as more effective ways of Using AI whether in mobility, medicine, energy, industrial and physical AI—solutions built to work and scale now.
From breakthroughs in alternative energy to next-generation compute architectures to the rise of physical AI and autonomous systems, innovation is accelerating across every layer of the AI ecosystem.
The AI:360 Summit brings these threads together—aligning energy, infrastructure, and applications into one coherent platform for collaboration, investment and impact.
