SaaStr Rebuilds Conference For AI Growth

SaaStr reports that SaaStr AI 2026 is tracking 132% higher in tickets and sponsors year-over-year for its May 12–14 San Francisco conference, driven by AI-native sponsors like Google Cloud and Replit. The organizer says nearly all pre-AI B2B sponsors withdrew while attendance growth came from AI-native companies and developers; the event also replaced most staff with AI agents generating over $1 million. This change required refocusing sales on AI budgets.
