JOIN THE ULTIMATE AIX ROUNDTABLEDoha, Qatar
AIX Summit 2026 is a one-day executive summit in Doha, bringing together around 110 senior enterprise leaders across six sponsored roundtables and focused stage moments designed for leaders deploying, governing, and scaling production AI.
AI has evolved from experimental stages to practical implementation. The current challenges involve deployment strategies, redesigning work processes, security measures, governance, and converting investments into tangible results. AIX facilitates collaboration by bringing decision-makers together across two focused 75-minute sessions.
A Room Designed for Real Deployment Challenges
No Generic Panels
Stage time is reserved exclusively for unscripted, highly technical cross-examinations. The majority of the day happens off-stage.
Strictly Enterprise
AIX is built for institutional scale. We focus on sovereign deployment, critical infrastructure, financial services, and state security.
Verified Case Studies
Foundational models are only the starting point. We prioritize live demonstrations of applied, outcome-generating AI.
Closed-Door Candor
Meaningful challenges cannot be discussed on a livestream. The roundtables operate strictly under the Chatham House Rule.

Working AI, demonstrated to the people who buy it.
Four to six enterprise AI companies demonstrate working products to a room of buyers. Not a pitch competition — working software, real outcomes, and pre-booked introductions to the executives who want to see more.
During lunch, delegates select which companies they wish to interrogate further. AIX coordinates 15-minute 1-on-1 Enterprise Connections during the afternoon break, with follow-on briefings scheduled post-event.
Demonstration Criteria
- Working software: Live product in production, zero mockups.
- Documented outcomes: Measurable operational return on investment.
