2026 Maryville College AI Summit

The 2nd Annual Maryville College AI Summit will take place on May 12 and May 13, 2026, at the Maryville College Downtown Center, located at 118 East Church Avenue, Maryville, Tennessee. We are excited to welcome back the Blount Partnership as a key sponsor for this year’s Summit. Organizations interested in supporting the Summit’s expanded programming are invited to contact [email protected] for information about sponsorship opportunities. This two‑day, ticketed event brings together educators, business professionals, nonprofit leaders, and community members to explore artificial intelligence from multiple perspectives.

Please review all the information below prior to purchasing your ticket(s).

The Summit extends beyond teaching and learning to include the applied use of artificial intelligence in business and nonprofit settings, as well as sessions that examine broader societal and environmental implications. This event reflects Maryville College’s identity as a liberal arts institution and its commitment to the region by supporting thoughtful dialogue and diverse viewpoints.

Across both days, attendees will hear presentations and talks on a wide range of topics and will have opportunities to engage with fellow participants.
