Cloud & AI Summit 2026

The Cloud and AI Summit is a three-day community conference focused on Microsoft Azure and AI technologies. Formerly known as dev up, we've sharpened our focus after 18 years to deliver a more targeted experience for professionals working within the Microsoft cloud ecosystem. Join us September 30 through October 2, 2026, at the Ameristar Casino and Convention Centre in St. Charles, MO.Our conference features expert-led sessions across seven content tracks: Pro Code, Low Code, Cloud Operations, AI, Data and Analytics, Security, and DevOps. All sessions are 1.5 hours in length, giving speakers the time to go deeper on their topics and providing more opportunity for hands-on learning, live demos, and audience Q&A. Whether you're a developer building with .NET and Azure, an IT pro managing cloud infrastructure, a data professional working with Fabric and Power BI, or someone exploring AI integration with Azure OpenAI and Copilot Studio, you'll find content tailored to your work.Beyond the sessions, The Cloud and AI Summit is about community. Connect with hundreds of fellow practitioners, architects, and technology leaders from across the midwest and beyond. Our attendee events, networking opportunities, and hallway conversations are where lasting professional relationships are built. Many attendees return year after year not just for the content, but for the people.We remain a non-profit, volunteer-run organisation committed to serving the technology community. We look forward to welcoming you to The Cloud and AI Summit 2026.
