Frequent Asked
Questions
What makes this different from other AI conferences?
Three things:
1. Implementation focus, not theory. We show you what actually works in production.
2. The Exchange marketplace where real deals happen—companies post projects, professionals sign contracts on-site.
3. Houston culture—business by day, festival experiences by night. This isn’t another hotel ballroom event.
Will sessions be recorded?
Yes. Paid EXECUTIVE, and VIP tickets include 90-day access to session recordings. PRO Pass holders get recordings for their specific track.
STARTER and EXPO passes don’t include recordings.
What's The Exchange?
Day 2’s marketplace where business happens in person. Companies post real projects ($50K+). Professionals showcase portfolios. Startups demo products. Deals get signed on-site.
Think: speed dating for business, but you leave with contracts. Included with all paid tickets.
What's the refund policy?
Full refund until March 15, 2026. 50% refund until April 1.
No refunds after April 1. Tickets are transferable—just email ticket@theaixp.com with attendee details.
