New York, United States: Q+AI 3.0

WHY ATTEND?

IQT’s flagship conference, Q+AI 2026 (3.0), is the leading event worldwide devoted to the convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The multi-day, multi-track program expands year after year, with 2026 once again heralding growth in the anticipated number of exhibitors, speakers, panelists, and networking and mentoring elements.

Q+AI 2026 (3.0) takes an in-depth holistic approach, looking at AI up, down, and all around the quantum stack, as well as at quantum for AI. The latter includes presentations on the growing number of commercial and scientific use cases, including for the pharmaceutical, supply chain, defense, cryptography, finance, and other industries.

Q+AI has been designed from the beginning to maximize networking opportunities among researchers, engineers, startup founders, corporate executives, investors, and policy makers. Mentoring was added at Q+AI 2025 (2.0), and its reception in-person and on social media warrants its return in 2026.

The latest twist to Q+AI 2026 (3.0) is that it is intended to answer questions from unique new angles and to assemble panelists in combinations attendees have never seen before. It will answer the questions that everyone asks, as well as questions no one thinks to ask.

PQC+IQT — A One-Day Event (October 26) is Included in Your Registration to Q+AI

(Paid Registration to PQC+IQT ONLY Also Available)

IQT’s newest conference, PQC+IQT, aims to become the leading event worldwide devoted to post-quantum computing and cryptography strategies. The initial single-day program takes place on October 26, 2026, to registrants of Q+AI 2026 (3.0). Separate registration for PQC+IQT is available. PQC+IQT is not just partnered with Q+AI, IQT’s industry-leading flagship conference; it is modeled after it. Expect a deep exploration of this crucial topic, every facet of it, without veering off into tangential cryptography and cybersecurity topics. Further expect to find Q+AI’s trademark networking opportunities adapted to PQC.

NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND

Q+AI offers numerous networking functions topped off by a glorious New York Harbor cruise including dinner where attendees can greet and meet fellow attendees in a relaxed setting on New York waterways.
