Front-row spectators! MEET2027 registration portal officially opened, the first batch of heavyweight guests are in place

In 2026, AI is shifting from “being chatty” to “being productive.” As models begin to invoke tools, execute tasks, and embed into organizational workflows, the wall between smart technology and industry is being torn down.

December 9, Quantumbit MEET2027 Intelligent Future Conferencearrived as scheduled. This year’s conference is themed“Intelligent Mobility Unity·Shaping the Future”as the theme, we will discuss how AI moves from demonstration to delivery, from tools to organizations, and from single-point capabilities to systemic efficiency.

The engineering deployment of large models and agents, the large‑scale rollout of embodied intelligence, the management redesign of AI‑native organizations, and the deep‑water challenges of enterprise digital transformation—these are the most compelling topics to follow this year, and they will be repeatedly dissected during a day of high‑density collisions.

Academic frontiers and commercial applications share the same stage, with the latest breakthroughs in infrastructure, models, products, and industry frontlines showcased here.

The conference will also officially releaseAI Annual Rankings and Annual AI Trend Report, documenting this year’s technological achievements and forecasting next year’s evolution.
