Palm Springs Gets Ready to Talk AI as PS/NExT Summit Takes Over the Convention Center Next Week

The desert is about to get a crash course in artificial intelligence. The PS/NExT Summit takes over the Palm Springs Convention Center June 22nd and 23rd, bringing together creators, educators, business owners, and curious community members to dig into AI, creativity, and what's next for the region's economy.

The summit grew out of last year's sold-out Palm Springs AI & Creativity Expo, and organizers say this version is bigger and more immersive. Instead of just panels, attendees can expect keynote speakers, a full expo floor, and hands-on experiences built for people who want to actually try the technology, not just hear about it.

A full pass costs $250, though Coachella Valley residents get a reduced rate of $95 if they buy online with proof of address, since the price jumps to $150 at the door. Coachella Valley students get in completely free with a valid student ID and proof of enrollment, covering everyone from middle schoolers to grad students. 

The event runs at the Palm Springs Convention Center, with registration and full pass details available here.
