The tech industry’s attention turns to Las Vegas later this month as NetApp prepares to host a conference focused on data and artificial intelligence.
NetApp is bringing its 2026 conference to Las Vegas, with data and AI talks scheduled to run Sept. 29, according to Stock Titan. CEO George Kurian and CFO Wissam Jabre are among the speakers, and live webcasts will be available with replays roughly 24 hours later.
For a city best known for tourism and entertainment, the event underscores how often Las Vegas now lands on the calendar for major business gatherings. Conferences like this fill hotel rooms, bring in spending and put the valley in front of executives who may not otherwise spend time here.
The timing also reflects the broader shift in what brings visitors to Las Vegas. Convention traffic is still one of the city’s most important economic engines, and AI has become one of the hottest topics in corporate America.
Stock Titan said the sessions will be part of NetApp’s 2026 Insight conference. For local businesses, the arrival of another large industry event is a reminder that the convention economy remains central to the city’s identity.
