At Predict 2026, Techstrong’s annual crystal-ball-gazing event, we’re throwing out the playbook and giving our “Person of the Year” award to the one entity that never sleeps, never eats, and already knows what we’re going to say next: AI.
From Agentic AI that’s starting to think for itself (and maybe outsmart us), to AI factories churning out intelligence at industrial scale, to the data centers that have become the new oil fields of the digital age — we’ll explore how AI is powering an entire new AI economy. Whether you’re coding it, securing it, scaling it, or just trying to make sense of it, this is where we’ll predict how the machines will shape the year ahead.
Come for the insights. Stay for the existential crisis.
After all — if 2026 belongs to anyone, it’s AI.
