The service partners, peer networks, and talent you need to scale are at Catalyst 26.

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.

The playbooks that worked for traditional SaaS don't apply here. Native AI companies are figuring out new GTM motions and partner program designs in real time, and most of that learning is not being published anywhere.

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 Attends Catalyst 26


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. Attendees include founders, CROs, and partnership leaders, all with a direct stake in how their company grows through partners.

The three groups native AI companies need most will all be at Catalyst 26:

  • Service companies
    Evaluating which AI vendors to build practices around in the next 12 months. The vendors they already know personally get the first call.
  • Native AI Peer companies
    Working through the same GTM motions and partner program decisions you are, without an established playbook. The conversations you have with these teams are not available anywhere else.
  • 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 up to 10 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 over two days.

Stage Sessions

Practitioners sharing what is working right now, not what worked two years ago. Takeaways you can implement Monday morning.

Curated Connections

Catalyst App: See who is attending before you arrive and start conversations before day one. You walk in already knowing who you want to meet and why.

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.

Pricing goes to $1,299 at the end of July.
