Armando Pantoja presenting an energy slide on stage at a previous event
AI investing · Miami · December 4-6, 2026

AI investment conference: the money is made underneath the chatbot.

Everyone argues about which AI app wins. The bigger money is being made in what every app runs on: the chips, the data centres, the power contracts and the data. Future Wealth spends three days in Miami on that layer, and on how investors can position for it.

The thesis the conference is built on

Compute, data and energy: the Power Triad.

Future Wealth is built around one idea from its founder, Armando Pantoja: the next economy runs on three inputs. Every AI product depends on all three, and each is scarce in a different way. When one runs short, the value tends to collect there.

That is why so much of the AI story for an investor is really a story about power plants, transmission lines, cooling, land and the companies that own the scarce piece.

  • Compute: the chips and data centres that do the thinking. Factories take years to build.
  • Data: what the models learn from and work on, and who owns it.
  • Energy: the electricity that runs all of it, and fast becoming the hardest of the three to get.
AI infrastructure investing

The bottlenecks are the opportunity.

The AI infrastructure, data centre and energy investment story in plain terms: where the shortages are, and who gets paid when they are solved.

Energy

Power is the constraint

A data centre is only as useful as the electricity it can get. Grid connections, power agreements and new generation decide which sites get built and when. This is the energy side of AI, and the one most people skip.

Compute

Data centres are real estate

Siting, permits, interconnect queues, cooling and construction. Who gets paid at each stage of a build, and why a site can take years.

Data

Data has owners

Models are only as good as what they learn from. Who owns the data, who gets to use it, and how that turns into a business.

Software

Agents that act for you

Investing is moving from apps you open to software agents that act on your behalf. Public.com's co-CEO on what that changes and who builds the rails.

Public markets

How the theme is bought

ETFs, structured products, private vehicles and direct positions. Why the wrapper you use can matter as much as the theme you pick.

Your own money

Position sizing at your size

Sunday closes on the practical part: how much to commit to a conviction, what to sell to fund it, and how to tell a thesis that is wrong from one that is early.

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.

10:45amMain Stage

The Domino Strategy: How One Move Forces the Next

Jake Claver's framework, built on one observation: the first move in any chain is the one everybody sees, and it is almost never the one that pays. What pays is the move it forces next. He walks it through in public — how he picks the first domino, what it forces, and how far down the chain he will position before the evidence runs out. Energy, compute and data sit underneath most of the chains worth running right now. You should leave able to run one yourself on whatever headline lands in January.

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.

5:00pmMain Stage

Before the Future Becomes Obvious (Day One Closing)

A powerful close to day one, bringing the day’s biggest ideas into focus through a message of possibility and a live sand art performance. Today, you understood the shift. Tomorrow, you begin building your place in it.

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

Emerging technology

Kept to what is actually on the agenda.

Future Wealth covers emerging technology through the investing lens rather than as a technology fair. Each subject is covered for the question an investor asks: who gets paid, how, and how you take a position.

If a technology is not listed here, it is not on the 2026 programme yet. The agenda is updated as sessions are confirmed.

  • Artificial intelligence and AI agents, and how agents are changing how money is managed
  • Robotics, inside the Day One closing and the session on the intelligence economy
  • Data centres and the power grid, from siting to power agreements
  • Blockchain and tokenization, on the digital assets track
Who this is for

Questions

Questions, answered.

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

Is this a technical AI conference?
No. Future Wealth is an investing conference. Nobody is teaching you to train a model. The sessions are about where the money in AI is actually made: the chips, data centres, power and data underneath the applications, and how investors take a position in them. If you want research papers or engineering workshops, a technical event such as NeurIPS or NVIDIA GTC is the better fit. Our guide to AI conferences for investors compares both kinds.
Do I need a technology or finance background?
No. The sessions are built so a smart person who does not work in technology or finance leaves understanding how the AI build-out works and where the money flows. There are also deeper sessions for people who already invest for a living.
What is the Power Triad?
It is the thesis Armando Pantoja built the conference around: the next economy runs on three inputs, compute, data and energy. AI needs all three, each one is scarce in its own way, and the value tends to collect at whichever one is in shortest supply. The conference uses it as a lens across every track.
Will anyone pitch an investment from the stage?
No. Speakers argue a view and show their reasoning. Nobody sells a product or an offering from the stage, and nothing at the event is investment advice.
When and where is it?
December 4-6, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Miami, 400 SE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33131. Friday evening opens the weekend and Saturday and Sunday are full conference days.
How much are tickets?
Three passes: Market, VIP and All Access. Current prices are shown on this page, read live from Eventbrite, and every pass covers all three days and both stages.

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.
