You Have the Product.
Now You Need the Ecosystem.
Up to 2 tickets per company.
Every AI company hits the same wall.
The product works. The first customers are in. And then growth slows. Not because the product got worse, but because you don’t have the distribution layer to scale it.
That layer is built on partners. The service companies that implement your product for enterprise customers. The peer teams one quarter ahead of you. The leaders who have done this before and know which decisions cost the most time.
Catalyst 26 puts all of them in the same building for two days.

Who is in the room
Representatives from AWS, Salesforce, Microsoft, OpenAI, Snowflake, CoreWeave, Cerebras, HubSpot, and 1,500+ other companies have attended Catalyst events. This is not a general business conference. Every person in the room has a title in partnerships, alliances, business development, or ecosystem growth.
The three groups native AI companies need most will all be at Catalyst 26:
-
Service companies
Evaluating which AI vendors to build implementation practices around in the next 12 months. This decision is being made now, and the vendors they already know personally get the first call.
-
Native AI peer companies
Working through the same partner program decisions you are, one quarter ahead of where you are today.
-
Partnership leaders from established software companies
Who have already built what you are building and know which shortcuts are worth taking.
The format is built for outcomes
Catalyst is not a conference where you sit through keynotes and collect business cards.
Power Circles
Small-group working sessions of 10 to 15 practitioners solving one specific problem together. You leave with frameworks, introductions, and decisions.
Elevate Certifications
Your team leaves with credentials in the three frameworks the global partnerships community runs on: SCOPE, JVP, and QBR. Certified in a day.
Stage Sessions
Practitioners sharing what is working right now, not what worked two years ago. Takeaways you can implement Monday morning.
Curated Connections
Pre-matched 1:1 meetings set up before the event based on what you need to accomplish. You arrive already knowing who you’re meeting and why.
Testimonials
"A day of leadership, innovation, and collaboration that reminded us why relationships matter most."

"I found the woman's lunch super valuable because we were able to each grab a table topic card and give our explanation. I found that it created more conversations and topics started to resonate with others."
Toni Andres

"From speakers to workshops, every moment sparked ideas and meaningful conversations about growth through partnerships."
James Stacey

"The insights, energy, and connections from Catalyst will keep driving momentum long after it ended."

Sales Representative at JetBrains
Why this is not a decision to make later
The service companies at Catalyst are deciding right now which AI vendors to build implementation practices around. Those decisions mean preferred implementation partners, faster customer deployments, and co-sell pipelines that take 12 months to build from scratch if you miss them here.
The companies that show up in August influence those decisions. The ones that wait negotiate for what is left.
