## Summary

The Marketing AI Institute has released a practical field guide for the upcoming Marketing Artificial Intelligence Conference (MAICON) taking place Oct. 13‑15, 2026 at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio. It covers basics such as parking options—more than 5,000 walk‑able spaces nearby and limited spots in the Huntington Park Garage—rideshare directions, and recommended items to pack for a busy three‑day event.

The guide advises attendees to pre‑select sessions using the conference app, noting that all sessions operate on a first‑come‑first‑served basis. Two tracks are highlighted: Applied AI, which focuses on hands‑on use cases, and Strategic AI, which explores high‑level strategy and leadership. Build Sessions let participants work on real projects with laptops, and the AI Transformation Stage offers candid marketer perspectives. Networking opportunities include an AI for CMOs reception on Oct. 12, an opening night party at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, shared meals, and a happy hour on Oct. 14.

For those who purchase an On‑Demand package, recordings will be accessible through AI Academy for Marketers for 12 months, with upgrades available later. The guide reminds readers that registration remains open for the seventh annual MAICON.
