2026 theme - Infinite AI
Nobody knows the boundless potential of AI, but we come close.
AI is making headlines everywhere.
Behind the hype, it’s actually the unglamorous but persistent, behind-the-scenes thinkers —prompting, refining, reworking — who drive real change. It’s time to swap hype for substance. To transform bold ideas into insightful human sessions that reveal AI’s true potential.
Last year with AI XL, we went big. With Infinite AI, there’s no ceiling on where we’ll go next.
Who is behind it?
4YFN knows who.
