About this event

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.

What to expect

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).
