# Future Plans in Perpetuity
Please mark your calendars for both July 3rd/4th (USA's birthday) and December 17th/18th (Perl's birthday), starting in 2025 and going forward every year from now on. Our current plan is to continue meeting in Austin until further notice, as it is a central location and we already have all of the conference equipment there.
Our PCC Summer conferences begin on July 3rd and run through July 4th, finishing in time for people to get home for fireworks if they so choose. Likewise, our PCC Winter conferences start one day early on December 17th and run through December 18th, giving people enough time to get home for their Christmas holiday travel plans etc.
Our 2-day format offers opportunities to have more talks, as well as more extracurricular activities such as Perl Hackathons, Bad Movie Night, and our official semi-formal dinner party soirée known as the AI & Science Reception. So, please set a permanent annual reminder in your calendar now, repeating every July 3-4 and Dec 17-18... forever. It is safe to assume the location will be Austin, TX indefinitely. Together we will put Perl back on top!Austin, Texas

I'm Attending!August 22, 2026August 22, 2026AI ConnectUTCThis is not one of those typical AI conferences just because it's a trend. We dig deeper. This is a one-day IN-PERSON event about artificial intelligence in our lives - for those who build AI, those who use AI, and those who want to discover it for the first time. Developers, professionals, students, and families in one place
We're curating talks, workshops and panels for AI Connect 2026. Submit your idea by June 15 and inspire builders, professionals and curious newcomers.
We're expecting 300 and more participants.
We live in a time when technology helps us work faster, smarter, and more efficiently. But in the rush of everyday life, it can also distance us from conversations and shared experiences
AI Connect was created to restore that balance. A reason to meet, learn, try things out, and experience something new together
A day when artificial intelligence becomes understandable, practical, and human — connecting AI builders, everyday users, businesses, students, and familiesRiga, Latvia
