API + AI Summit | September 29 - October 2, 2026 | L.A.

Hi there,

Something is launching on the keynote stage at API + AI Summit — and only the people in the room get first access. Not a livestream. Not a recording.

Here's what we can tell you: it ships from the keynote stage, it's going to change to how you build on Kong, and the first people to touch it will be standing on the expo floor just minutes after the announcement.

Registration closes Sept 25.

Be in the room →

✋ Kong Expo Hall

Seven live product kiosks — including the one you just saw announced on stage. In-person attendees are the first people outside of Kong to touch it. Zero waiting for the press release.

🔧 Ask an Engineer

Bring your actual stack. Kong engineers are on-site to dig into your architecture, answer the questions you can't, and tell you exactly what's worth building on. No deck. No demo. Just the conversation you've been trying to schedule for months.

🤝 25 Sponsor Booths on the Floor

Teams from Accenture, AWS, Noma Security, EPAM and more — demoing what they're actually building on top of Kong in production. If you're evaluating vendors or comparing approaches, this is the most efficient two days you'll spend all year.

🤖 AI Activity Zone

A motion-reactive LED wall. Robotic arms that sketch your portrait in 60 seconds. A bullet-time freeze frame video rig from every angle at once. Nothing here is a slide. Everything here does something.

🍸 Evening Reception + Summit Celebration — Sept 30

Rooftop views at Spire 73. Claw machines on the pool deck. The Blockbusters live in the ballroom. Build your own mechanical keyboard. The sessions end. The conversations don't.
