Ten years ago in June 2016 I spoke at the NY Tech Summit, and it was one of those conferences that genuinely moved the needle in my career. I met and learned from dozens of IT professionals and vendors across the region, and many of those connections have become enduring relationships long after the conference ended.
So when I heard the Summit was coming back this year with a renewed focus, I didn't hesitate. I'm returning to speak about real-world AI governance and how to move fast without breaking things while keeping the human in the loop.
Here’s what you need to know about this year’s event:
When: October 1-2, 2026
Where: Turning Stone Resort Casino, Verona, NY
Keynote: Stuart McClure, cybersecurity innovator and AI risk expert
Tracks: AI & the Future of Infrastructure, Cybersecurity & Operational Resilience, Modern Infrastructure & Cloud, Technology Leadership & Business Strategy
The focus: Practical conversations and real-world strategies, not hype. AI infrastructure readiness, security risks, governance, productivity. You leave with things you can use.

The NY Tech Summit has always been well attended by Rochester and Syracuse professionals. So this post is especially for my colleagues in Buffalo, the Southern Tier, Northern PA, and Southern Ontario.
You don’t need to fly somewhere to get a conference this good. You just need to make the drive.
See you there.
