AI conference Miami · December 4-6, 2026

An AI conference in Miami, for the people investing in it.

Future Wealth spends three days at the Hyatt Regency Miami, on the river next to Brickell. One of its four tracks is AI and the compute, data and energy it runs on, explained for investors rather than engineers: who builds it, who powers it, and how investors take a position.

AI conference Miami: the short answer

Yes, there is one this December.

Future Wealth runs from Friday, December 4 to Sunday, December 6, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Miami, 400 SE 2nd Ave, downtown on the Miami River next to Brickell. It is an investing conference with four tracks, and one of them covers AI and the compute, data and energy underneath it.

Here is what kind of AI event it is. There are no coding workshops, research papers or hackathons. The AI sessions are for people who want to follow the money behind AI and understand how an investor takes a position, in the same building as the sessions on stocks, digital assets and real estate.

  • When: Friday evening opens the weekend, then two full conference days
  • Where: the Hyatt Regency Miami, downtown, next to Brickell
  • What: AI as an investment, next to stocks, digital assets and real estate
  • Who: people investing their own money, founders, operators and allocators
Why Miami

Downtown Miami, the first weekend of December.

The venue, the trip in and the calendar, in a month when Miami is usually in the high seventies and dry.

The venue

Downtown, next to Brickell

The hotel is on the Miami River, at the edge of Brickell, the city's financial district. Restaurants, hotels and the waterfront are a short walk away, and the Metromover runs free through downtown.

Getting there

Flying in

About 15 to 20 minutes by car from Miami International Airport, depending on traffic, and roughly 40 minutes from Fort Lauderdale. Travel details.

The timing

The weekend after GTC in Washington

If you follow AI closely, NVIDIA GTC in Washington, DC ends on December 3, and Future Wealth opens in Miami the next evening. One week can cover how AI is built and how to invest around it.

The calendar

Miami's year of events

eMerge Americas, the area's large technology conference, is in Miami Beach in March, and Consensus brings digital assets to Miami Beach in May. Future Wealth brings investors downtown in December. Every Miami investment conference.

AI in plain words

New to the vocabulary? Start here.

The words you will hear in the AI sessions, explained the way a friend would. No background needed.

Compute

The machines doing the thinking

Specialised chips, and the racks of servers they sit in, that do the work every time an AI answers a question or writes a line of text.

Data

What AI learns from

The text, images, records and numbers a model is trained on and works with. Somebody owns it, and that ownership can be a business of its own.

Energy

What keeps it running

The electricity the chips and their cooling need, around the clock. Getting enough power to a new site is one of the slow, hard parts of building for AI.

Data centre

A building full of computers

Where compute lives. Each one needs land, a power connection, cooling and permits before it can open, and different people get paid at each step.

AI agent

Software that acts for you

Instead of waiting for you to open an app and click, an agent carries out a task on your behalf. Investing is one of the places this is starting to show up.

Wrapper

How you actually own a trend

The package you buy to own a piece of an idea: a fund, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that trades like a share, a private deal, or the company's shares themselves. Two people can back the same idea and get different results because of the wrapper.

Before the World Sees It (Opening Day One)

Armando Pantoja opens Future Wealth with a powerful invitation to see farther, challenge assumptions, and recognize opportunity before the world catches on. Discover the Power Triad: compute, data, and energy and why one idea, one connection, or one decision this weekend could change your future.

9:25amMain Stage

Real Estate and Hard Assets in an AI Decade: Where Allocators Are Putting Real Money

Software and AI take the headlines. The physical layer underneath — land, housing, energy, storage, logistics — quietly reprices on the back of the same demand. Robert Croak makes the case for real assets in an AI decade: what actually gets bid when compute and energy demand compound, how to size those positions against a liquid book, and where the return comes from — yield, appreciation, or the scarcity of the asset itself. Built for people who deploy capital rather than watch it.

1:50pmMain Stage

Agentic Investing: The Next Platform Shift

A mainstage fireside with Jannick Malling, co-founder and co-CEO of Public.com. Moderated by Trinity Chavez, NYSE. An agent is software that works while you don't — and investing is moving from apps you open to agents that act for you. Jannick's case: this is the early innings of the next platform shift, and the rails being built right now will decide how the next decade of money gets managed. What agentic investing actually is, what it changes for anyone running their own capital, where it breaks, and what Public.com is seeing from the front of it. The future of money management, argued by someone building it — straight into the afternoon break.

Sunday, December 6
9:10amMain Stage

Positioning for the Next Economic Cycle

Armando opens the final day with the three calls he got wrong this year, and why. Not the wins, the misses: what he weighted, what he underweighted, and how the framework changed because of it. Then where the model says the money goes next: the layer every technology runs on, compute, data and energy, and why capital accrues to the scarce layer rather than the popular one. Three moves to close: pick your layer, size it honestly, give it time.

11:00amMain Stage

The Wrapper Wars: How Institutions Actually Buy the Future

Everyone can name the trend. Far fewer can name the instrument. ETFs and ETPs, structured products, private vehicles and direct positions — and why the wrapper often decides the return as much as the asset does. Fees, liquidity, tracking, tax and counterparty risk, argued by people who build and issue these products for a living rather than people who comment on them.

1:00pmMain Stage

Investing in the Intelligence Economy: Where the Next Trillion Dollars Will Be Made

The Intelligence Economy is creating entirely new markets, business models, and investment opportunities at extraordinary speed. This session explores where the next trillion dollars of value could be created across AI, compute, data, energy, robotics, infrastructure, and the companies enabling this transformation—and how investors can identify the opportunities positioned to capture the greatest share of this new wealth.

1:50pmThe Lab

Power, Land and Permits: How a Data Centre Actually Gets Built

Everyone talks about compute demand. Far fewer people can tell you why a site takes four years, which of those years is the interconnect queue, and who gets paid at each stage. The practical version — siting, power agreements, permitting, and where the returns actually sit in the stack. This breakout is a placeholder — title, speaker and time are still being confirmed and are subject to change.

Times are Eastern. The agenda is a working schedule, so titles, times and speakers can still change. See the full agenda

An honest fit

Looking for a developer AI conference?

Future Wealth will not teach you to code, train or deploy a model. If that is what you need, a technical event is the right call: NVIDIA GTC for chips and the software that runs on them, or NeurIPS for research. In the Miami area, eMerge Americas in Miami Beach (March 2-4, 2027) is the large technology conference.

If you want to understand AI as an investor, where the money in it is made and what it means for everything else you own, that is what this weekend is for. Our guide to AI conferences for investors lays the two kinds side by side, and the AI investment conference page goes deeper on the thesis behind the track.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Anything else? The full FAQ covers hotels, refunds and the day itself.

Is there an AI conference in Miami in 2026?
Yes. Future Wealth runs December 4-6, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Miami, 400 SE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33131, downtown on the Miami River next to Brickell. It is an investing conference, and AI, with the compute, data and energy it depends on, is one of its four tracks. Friday evening opens the weekend, and the AI sessions run on Saturday and Sunday. For the other events in the city, see our guide to Miami investment conferences.
AI conference Miami: is this one for developers or for investors?
For investors. Future Wealth does not teach coding, model training or engineering, and there are no hackathons. If you build AI, a technical event such as NVIDIA GTC or NeurIPS will serve you better, and in the Miami area eMerge Americas (Miami Beach, March 2-4, 2027) is the large technology conference. Our guide to AI conferences for investors sorts the 2026 calendar into investing events and technical ones.
Which AI topics are covered?
The computing power and data centres that run AI, the electricity they need and how a data centre actually gets built, the land and other physical assets that reprice around it, AI agents that act for investors, the products institutions use to buy into AI, where the next wave of value could be created, and how to position your own money for it. Every session is listed on this page with its time and room.
I am new to investing. Will I be able to follow?
Yes. The AI sessions are built for people who do not work in technology or finance, and the plain-words section on this page covers the vocabulary first. The Lab, the smaller of the two rooms, is built for questions.
Where is the venue, and how do I get there?
The Hyatt Regency Miami, 400 SE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33131. It is about 15 to 20 minutes by car from Miami International Airport, depending on traffic, and roughly 40 minutes from Fort Lauderdale. When you buy your ticket you get a link to book the discounted Future Wealth room block at the hotel, while it lasts. Travel details.
Do I need a separate ticket for the AI sessions?
No. Every pass, Market, VIP or All Access, covers all three days, both stages and all four tracks. Current prices are shown on this page, read live from Eventbrite.
Will anyone pitch me an AI stock or fund?
No. Speakers explain how they read the market and why. No one sells a stock, a fund or any other offering from the stage, and nothing at the event is investment advice.

Nothing at Future Wealth or on this page is investment, financial, legal or tax advice. Speakers' views are their own, and no speaker is presenting an offer to buy or sell anything.
