AMD says its Advancing AI 2026 event will take place July 22–23 at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, with sessions focused on AI infrastructure, deployment, inference, training, optimization, open-source tools, and hands-on developer workshops.
AMD has announced that Advancing AI 2026 will take place July 22–23 in San Francisco, positioning the event around AI infrastructure, deployment, and developer education.
According to AMD’s event preview, Advancing AI 2026 is designed to bring together developers, customers, and partners for discussions and sessions on AI architecture, infrastructure, development, inference, optimization, and production-scale deployment. AMD says the event will include hands-on workshops, technical deep dives, and sessions focused on real-world AI systems.
AMD’s newsroom announcement describes Advancing AI 2026 as the company’s flagship global AI event. The company says the event will be hosted at San Francisco’s Moscone Center and will feature AMD Chair and CEO Dr. Lisa Su alongside participants from the broader AI ecosystem.
The Moscone Center’s public event listing also identifies AMD Advancing AI as an in-person event scheduled for July 22–23, 2026. The venue listing describes the audience as developers, enterprise customers, and partners, and says the program will cover AI architecture, infrastructure, compute innovations, frameworks, agents, optimization, training, GPU resources, and certifications.
AMD says registration is free while space is available, according to its official event materials.
AMD’s developer sessions page gives the clearest view of the technical agenda. The company lists hands-on workshops, sessions with AI practitioners, and technical deep dives on inference, training, deployment, and large-scale infrastructure.
The same AMD page says the program will include sessions on open-source AI infrastructure, vLLM and SGLang model serving, hybrid routing, and ROCm certification. ROCm is AMD’s software platform for GPU computing, and its inclusion in the developer program indicates that AMD is using the event to support developers building and deploying AI workloads on its hardware and software stack.
AMD’s preview also emphasizes production use cases. The company says attendees can expect material on model deployment, infrastructure optimization, and operating AI systems at scale. That focus matches the broader industry shift from early AI experimentation toward the operational challenges of serving models efficiently, managing compute resources, and tuning workloads for cost and performance.
The event comes as AMD continues to compete in data center AI computing, where software support, developer adoption, and ecosystem partnerships are increasingly important alongside accelerator hardware. AMD’s official materials do not frame Advancing AI 2026 solely as a product launch event; instead, they present it as a gathering for technical education, customer engagement, and partner participation across the AI deployment lifecycle.
The stated agenda suggests AMD wants to highlight both the infrastructure layer and the practical work required to run AI in production. Sessions on inference and model serving point to the growing importance of efficient AI deployment after models are trained. Workshops and certification content suggest AMD is also trying to reduce friction for developers using its software tools.
Based on AMD’s official pages and the Moscone Center listing, attendees should expect a two-day, in-person program centered on AI systems rather than a general technology conference. AMD says the program includes technical sessions, workshops, and discussions for developers, customers, enterprise leaders, and partners.
The main themes AMD identifies are AI infrastructure, architecture, inference, training, deployment, optimization, open-source tooling, GPU resources, and certification. The company’s event preview also says the event will cover production-scale infrastructure, which is likely to be a key topic for organizations moving AI workloads from prototypes into operational systems.
AMD has not disclosed a complete keynote agenda in the provided materials, but its newsroom announcement says Dr. Lisa Su and AI ecosystem participants will be involved. More detailed scheduling information is expected to come from AMD’s official event pages as the July 2026 dates approach.
