API + AI Summit | September 29 - October 2, 2026 | L.A.
Hi there,
Thirty days out. Nvidia, FanDuel, Ericsson, Gartner, Dell, Prudential — all on one stage. Prices have gone up, but for a limited time, registration is free with code
FINAL30.
/ / THE KEYNOTE LINEUP
DAY 1 · WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30
Augusto Marietti opens with the question that's actually on everyone's mind — not whether you can build with AI, but whether you can run it once it's live. FanDuel's Bryce Macher and Jonathan Kindberg join Reza Shafii for a fireside on what it takes to put real money behind AI in production. Marco Palladino follows with his take on where APIs and AI infrastructure are actually headed. Reza returns with the full Product team for the Product Keynote. Augusto returns for a fly-by fireside with Nvidia. Ken Kim and Accenture close the morning on making agentic AI real across the enterprise.
DAY 2 · THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1
Kallol Dutta from Ericsson opens — sharing how they're building AI at a scale most organizations won't see for years. The Kong Build Sprint winner is announced live. Dell and Prudential get honest about what broke when they got to production first. A Gartner analyst brings their POV on the state of API and AI systems in production — the kind of analysis that usually costs a lot more than a summit ticket. The Kong in conversation: Women who lead panel follows with PolyAI, TSB Bank, and Siemens Energy — moderated by Patricia Papadaki and Oshin D'Souza. Customer Awards close out the day.
