Founders Lounge Global AI Summit 2026 - Day 2
Details
The Founders Lounge Global AI Summit is three days focused on real builders working on AI right now. It brings together founders, operators, investors, and developers who are actually shipping products and navigating what AI means for their businesses.
This is not a hype-driven conference. The goal is simple: honest conversations, practical insights, and meaningful connections.
We'll talk about what is working, what is breaking, and what founders are seeing on the ground as AI reshapes their companies and industries.
What Day 2 is about
Day 2 goes deep technical. It's built for developers, engineers, and technical founders who want to get past the surface-level AI content and into the real work — agent architectures, shipping production systems, program management in an AI-first world, and security for AI applications.
If you write code, ship products, or make technical calls for your team, this is your day.
Morning sessions run as dual-track technical workshops across two classrooms at Spark Coworking.
