AI Con USA is an applied artificial intelligence conference focused on how organisations build, govern and scale AI in practice. The programme is aimed at engineers, data scientists, technology leaders and managers who are responsible for moving machine learning and generative AI from experiments into production systems. The 2027 edition runs from June 6 to 11, 2027, at the Hyatt Regency Seattle in downtown Seattle, Washington, and is also available online as a hybrid event. The organisers describe an audience of hundreds of in-person attendees alongside thousands of virtual participants, and plan more than 50 talks across keynotes, tutorials and conference sessions. Themes listed for this AI conference in Seattle 2027 include agentic AI, LLMs, MLOps and AIOps, data strategy, AI security and safety, and governance, regulation and compliance. Attendees can combine longer tutorials with shorter sessions and keynotes, choosing between on-site and remote passes. The mix of leadership and hands-on engineering material makes it useful both for practitioners building AI applications and for those shaping AI strategy. For teams weighing the real return of enterprise AI, the event offers a practical forum for comparing approaches with peers.

AI Con USA occupies most of a week in Seattle in early June, which is when the Pacific Northwest reliably turns: the winter grey lifts, Mount Rainier appears on the southern horizon, and daylight runs to nearly sixteen hours. For an AI and software audience the local context is hard to miss, with cloud and machine learning engineering concentrated across the city and the Eastside. Downtown and the waterfront are walkable throughout.
Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA) links to downtown on the Link 1 Line light rail in roughly 40 minutes, running from a station connected to the terminal by walkway. Link continues north through the University District. Within the centre, buses, the streetcar and the monorail fill the gaps, all paid by ORCA card or contactless tap. Amtrak arrives at King Street station south of downtown.

Coverage across the city is excellent and free Wi-Fi is standard in hotels, cafes and public libraries. Visitors from abroad will find an eSIM arranged before departure much cheaper than roaming for a week-long stay. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Pike Place Market. A working public market above the waterfront running since 1907, stacked over several levels of produce, fish, flowers and small shops. Arrive before nine to see it trading rather than touring. Around two hours, and it is a ten-minute walk downhill from most downtown hotels. Tickets on Go City →
Chihuly Garden and Glass. At Seattle Center beneath the Space Needle, a set of glass installations in darkened galleries and a glasshouse, plus an outdoor garden. Combining it with the Needle on a single ticket saves time and money. Ninety minutes for both, and the monorail from downtown takes two minutes. Tickets on Go City →
Museum of Pop Culture. Housed in Frank Gehry's crumpled metal building at Seattle Center, with exhibitions spanning music, science fiction and video games. The Nirvana and Hendrix material is the strongest part of the collection. Two hours, and it sits beside Chihuly and the Space Needle for an easy combined afternoon. Tickets on Tiqets →
Bainbridge Island ferry. The 35-minute crossing from Colman Dock gives the best skyline view in the city plus Puget Sound and, in clear June weather, Rainier and the Olympics. Foot passengers pay only on the westbound leg. Half a day including a walk around Winslow at the far end.
How do I get from SEA to downtown?
The Link 1 Line light rail runs from the airport to downtown stations in about 40 minutes for a low flat fare. It avoids the traffic that makes road transfers unpredictable.
What is the weather like in early June?
Mild and mostly dry as the rainy season ends, typically high teens to low twenties Celsius with very long daylight. Occasional cloud and drizzle still happen.
Is Seattle walkable?
Downtown, the waterfront and Seattle Center are all walkable, though the hills are real. Light rail and buses cover longer distances without needing a car.
