We’re 60 Days Out from SaaStr AI Annual 2026. Last Chance to Apply to Speak. And Why You Should Sponsor.

May 12-14. SF Bay (San Mateo County Events Center). 40 acres. 300+ sessions. 10,000+ B2B and AI leaders.

SaaStr AI Annual is 60 days away, and two clocks are ticking down fast: the final speaker submission window and the final custom sponsorship deadline.

Last Chance To Apply to Speak

This is the last call for speaker submissions. We are closing the window. There will not be another one.

It’s your chance to join the founders, CEOs, CTOs and CXOs of Replit, Salesforce, Lovable, Databricks, Cloudflare, Legora, Snowflake and 100s more!

Speaking at SaaStr AI Annual 2026 is the single highest-leverage thing you can do for your personal brand and your company’s brand in B2B + AI. Period.

And I don’t say that because it’s our event. I say it because of who’s in the room.

We’ll have 10,000+ attendees. Not tourists. Not people collecting swag bags. These are founders scaling from $1M to $100M+ ARR, CROs rebuilding their go-to-market for AI, CTOs shipping AI products, CMOs rethinking every channel, and 100+ VCs actively looking for their next investment. Every session is hand-screened. We reject the vast majority of submissions. No paid speaking slots. No vendor pitches dressed up as panels. If you get on stage at SaaStr, it’s because you have something real to share. That’s why the audience actually pays attention.

What makes a great SaaStr AI workshop? The same thing that’s always made a great SaaStr AI talk: specificity. Tell the audience exactly how you did something, with real numbers, real failures, and real frameworks they can take home and use on Monday. The best sessions are from operators who got up and said, “Here’s what we tried, here’s what broke, and here’s what actually worked.”

This year, we’re especially looking for:

• How you’re actually deploying AI agents in production (not theory, not demos)
• Real pricing and packaging strategies for AI features
• How AI is changing GTM, CS, support, and post-sales (the org chart, not the press release)
• GTM playbooks that work in 2026, not retreads from 2022
• Honest takes on what’s working and what’s not in AI for B2B

If you’ve done something real in the last 12 months and are at $20m+ ARR and growing rapidly in AI+B2B, apply here. But do it ASAP. Once this window closes, it’s closed. Our agenda is 80% booked out already.

Why You Should Sponsor (And Why the Next 2 Weeks Matter)

Let me share the numbers, because this isn’t a vibes pitch.

The average SaaStr AI Annual sponsor walks away with 470+ qualified leads. Some sponsors are getting north of 600. And these aren’t badge scans from people wandering past your booth. These are actual conversations with decision-makers who have budget and are actively evaluating tools.

• Brex’s CRO and Monaco’s current CEO Sam Blond put it simply: they closed 4 five figure+ deals sourced from SaaStr AI Annual in less than 3 weeks. Highest ROI event they’ve measured.
• Artisan AI closed $250k+ on site last year, and $1m+ in months thereafter.
• Replit, Google Cloud, Vercel, Salesforce, Lightfield, Gamma, Lovable, Rippling and many more leaders are here this year in force.

This year, the audience has shifted. It’s all B2B + AI. We’re running 140% ahead of last year because we followed the money. The buyers at SaaStr AI Annual 2026 are AI-native companies with venture capital and growing revenue, incumbents with dedicated AI transformation budgets, and infrastructure players competing for developer mindshare. Many of these companies have separate AI budgets. Not marketing budgets, not events budgets. AI budgets, held by Chief AI Officers, transformation teams, or directly by the CEO. If you’re selling AI solutions to sales, support, or GTM teams, this is the room where those buyers are gathering.

Our Diamond sponsors this year include Google Cloud, Salesforce, Artisan, Monaco, Vercel, and Replit. Platinum includes Firebolt, Flatfile, and G2. Lovable, Rippling, Qualified, People.ai, and many more are going deep with us. These companies aren’t sponsoring because they like conferences. They’re sponsoring because they’re acquiring customers.

Now, here’s the deadline that matters: if you want anything remotely custom for your activation, you have 2 weeks. After that, it’s standard packages only. No custom booth builds, no bespoke activations, no special integrations. Two weeks. That’s it.

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is the moment to reach out here. You can even just talk to our AI 🙂

The Bigger Picture

We’ve been running SaaStr AI Annual for over a decade now. Every year, the event reflects what’s actually happening in B2B + AI. And what’s happening right now is a wholesale rebuild. The playbooks from 2021-2022 and even 2025 are done. The companies that are winning are the ones rebuilding their GTM for AI, rebuilding their products for AI, and finding each other.

That’s what SaaStr AI Annual is for. Not to talk about the future abstractly. To sit in a room with someone who already solved the problem you’re stuck on, and get the answer.

Whether you come as a speaker, a sponsor, or an attendee, May 12-14 is where the best in B2B + AI will be. See you in San Mateo / SF Bay May 12-14!
