Editorial context
Oracle AI World 2026 is Oracle's flagship cloud and AI conference, scheduled for October 25-28, 2026 at The Venetian Convention and Expo Center in Las Vegas. The conference — renamed from Oracle CloudWorld in 2025 to reflect Oracle's AI-first product framing — is projected to draw more than 20,000 customers, partners, and developers. It is the venue for keynotes from CEO Safra Catz, CTO and chairman Larry Ellison, and EVP Cloud Infrastructure Clay Magouyrk, covering Oracle Database (now in version 23ai with native vector search), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Fusion Cloud Applications, NetSuite, and the company's deepening Stargate-era partnerships with OpenAI, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Oracle's cloud-infrastructure backlog crossed $130 billion in early 2026 after multi-year deals with OpenAI and Meta were disclosed.

The clock above counts down to Oracle AI World 2026, Oracle's flagship enterprise conference (rebranded from Oracle CloudWorld), scheduled for October 25-28, 2026 at The Venetian in Las Vegas. The opening keynote from Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison anchors the evening of October 25 at 17:00 PT, with CEO Safra Catz keynoting the following morning.
Oracle AI World is the calendar moment for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Autonomous Database, Fusion Cloud Applications, NetSuite, MySQL HeatWave, and Oracle's industry clouds. It draws 20,000+ in-person attendees from CIOs, IT operations leaders, application owners, and Oracle ecosystem partners. The conference spans four days of keynotes, 1,500+ breakout sessions, hands-on labs, and a partner expo.
The 2026 edition arrives with Oracle deep in its AI infrastructure expansion, anchored by the Stargate partnership with OpenAI and SoftBank, multi-billion-dollar GPU build-outs in OCI, and a sharpened message around running large training and inference workloads on Oracle's own metal. Expect heavy customer keynotes from financial services, healthcare, telecom, and public sector workloads.
Larry Ellison's evening keynote typically anchors the strategy narrative (AI infrastructure, sovereign cloud, multicloud partnerships with AWS / Microsoft / Google). Safra Catz's morning keynote covers the operations and customer story. Product keynotes follow across OCI Generative AI and Agents, Autonomous Database 23ai, Fusion Cloud Applications, MySQL HeatWave, NetSuite, and the industry clouds (Health, Energy, Public Sector, Financial Services).
Expect new training-cluster commitments, additional sovereign / dedicated cloud regions, and significant Database 23ai upgrades.
