What is Momentum AI?

Momentum AI isn’t your standard “here’s how to sprinkle AI on top” conference. It’s a global summit series hosted by Reuters Events, where revenue teams, engineers, automation experts, and C-suites come together to figure out what AI can actually do — in real deployments, and without all of the theoretical mumbo jumbo. 

Here’s what Momentum AI really delivers:

1. It’s enterprise AI with receipts: Unlike most tech expos, the sessions focus on real-world rollouts — from precision manufacturing to hyper-targeted sales ops.
   
   
2. It connects AI to bottom lines, not buzzwords: You’ll hear how AI is being used to improve pipeline visibility, automate customer engagement, and optimize production — the kind of stuff a real momentum application is built for.
   
   
3. It’s not just for SaaS and finance nerds: Well, yes, those folks are everywhere. However, events like Momentum AI San Jose bring in manufacturers and roboticists looking to scale smarter — especially those choosing between different automation tools. (For more info, check out our guide on how to choose the right manufacturing robot.)
   
   
4. It sits at the AI × automation crossroads: From machine learning and revenue enablement to physical robotics, this series covers the full AI stack — software and the steel it runs on.

Momentum AI overview: Agenda, venues, & dates

Momentum AI 2025 is a global blueprint: The event hits multiple cities, each tailored to regional business challenges and AI use cases. Whether you're in finance, automation, or trying to blend both, there's a flavor for ya. 

Here’s where it’s happening (and when to show up):

Why the agenda’s worth your calendar:

• Regional flavor: Momentum AI New York dives deep into financial ops, while Momentum AI Singapore focuses more on enterprise scalability and platform integration.
  
  
• Tailored around the full AI lifecycle: From revenue tools to AI-driven automation and robotics, the sessions cover strategy, deployment, and results — with Momentum AI London emphasizing big-picture market shifts and governance.
  
  
• The content is made for doers, not lookers: Whether you’re automating manufacturing or optimizing sales ops, the 2025 agenda prioritizes practical solutions over fluff (e.g., learn how robotic arms actually work).
  
  
• Yes, even the West Coast gets love: Momentum AI San Francisco was absorbed into the San Jose flagship — meaning fewer events, more useful stuff.

Why you should attend Momentum

Momentum AI 2025 is one of the few AI events where revenue teams, automation experts, and tech leads actually get together in the same room — and leave with strategies that work beyond a pilot. It’s not a “let’s all network awkwardly by a vendor table” situation.

Here’s why it slaps (especially if you don’t like wasting your badge):

• The idea is to target more than SaaS sales reps: Engineers, integrators, and manufacturing teams will actually find content that moves the needle — like how automation drives growth instead of draining budgets (automation conferences like this are rare).
  
  
• Different cities, different flavors: San Jose’s for AI ops leaders. Singapore’s for builders scaling systems. New York’s for anyone who loves dashboards and margin boosts. London’s for AI governance and enterprise enthusiasts.
  
  
• You won’t be stuck watching theory slides: Case studies come with real metrics. Panels are stacked with people deploying AI — not “exploring potential frameworks for future usage.”
  
  
• It’s startup friendly without being a hype fest: There’s VC presence, but also tactical advice for turning prototypes into real deployments — whether that’s software, hardware, or some hybrid anomaly.
  
  
• The networking isn’t cringe: Use the app to book meetings, meet speakers, or join breakouts that aren’t 50 people pretending to brainstorm.

‍

Key speakers & must-attend sessions

Momentum AI brings in execs who run ops at Fortune 500 scale and know what it takes to actually launch AI systems that don’t break.

Here’s who’s speaking — and why you’ll want to grab a front-row seat:

• New York — financial AI with teeth: Jaime Montemayor (CDTO at General Mills), Ali Keshavarz (President of Data at CVS Health), and Sydney Klein (SVP + CISO at Bristol Myers Squibb) are talking real AI strategy (NYC agenda).

• San Jose — the ops-heavy hitters take the mic: Tim Langley-Hawthorne (CIO at Hertz), Viren Shah (CDIO at AGCO), and Doug Kulka (CITO at Tyson Foods) will break down how they’ve integrated AI into physical ops, from fleet management to food production (full speaker lineup).
  
  
• Singapore — tech brains and no fluff: Joyce Lee (CIO at J&J), David Hardoon (former MAS Chief Data Officer), and Sigrid Rouam (CDO at EFG Bank) are diving into risk management, platform scaling, and what it actually takes to move from pilot to production (Singapore agenda).
  
  
• London — strategy with a little horsepower: Ian Glasner (Group Head at HSBC), Cassandra Vukorep (CDO at Lloyd’s), Miriam Salah (CDO at Vodafone), and Niklas Sundberg (CDO at Kuehne+Nagel AG) are going to have in-depth discussions on AI in finance, and AI in enterprise — tough topics, but well worth it (London speakers).

How to prepare for Momentum AI 2025

Momentum AI venues are packed, the session rooms fill up fast, and everyone’s trying to book 15-minute meetings like it’s a speed date with enterprise AI. It isn’t the kind of event you wing.

Here’s how to walk in like you’ve been here before:

1. Register early or sit in overflow seating: Conference rooms fill at lightning speed — especially at keynotes. Book your badge early so you're not stuck awkwardly watching Ferrari’s CDIO through someone’s phone screen.
   
   
2. Sort out your travel while hotels still have pillows: Whether you're heading to San Jose or Momentum AI London, book something near the venue — nothing kills networking like a 45-minute commute.
   
   
3. Actually use the app — it's not just for vibes: This is how people find each other, RSVP to sessions, and lock in 1:1s. If you’re not on it, you’re invisible.
   
   
4. Pre-load your must-attends and backups: Favorite your sessions in advance so you don’t end up wandering into “AI and the future of spreadsheets, part XVIII.”
   
   
5. Bring real questions, not elevator pitches: Momentum AI draws legit operators. Ask something smart and specific, and you’ll get more than a polite nod. (And not a thought of “Aw, not this guy again.”)

‍

Virtual options & post-event resources

Missed your show? Doesn’t mean you missed everything. While you won’t get the hallway chats or badge flex, the digital side of Momentum AI still brings the value — if you know where to peek. 

Here’s how to keep up without booking a flight:

• Most major sessions are streamed live or recorded: Keynotes and top breakouts are usually available to registered attendees — you just won’t be elbowing your way to the front row.
  
  
• You’ll get recaps if your name’s on the list: Post-event, you’ll usually get a bundle of session summaries, slides, and speaker highlights — straight to your inbox. Not as good as being there, but still solid ammo.
  
  
• Remote still means interactive: Some events include live Q&A, voting, and app access even for virtual attendees. If you’ve got a take, you can still be part of what’s going on.
  
  
• No virtual FOMO — unless you want it: You won’t get the same networking, but you won’t be spending three nights in a Hilton either. Trade-offs.

‍

Related trade shows & further learning

If Momentum AI is the playbook for enterprise AI, these other events fill in the rest of the automation universe — especially the physical side. Most people attending Momentum should hit at least one of these.

Here’s where to go next if you want the full picture:

• Automate if you want to see AI meet steel: Robots, cobots, CNC, and machine vision demos — all live and running. If you care about integration, automation conferences are your floor.
  
  
• For robot fanatics who also like charts: Bookmark the biggest robotics trade shows and pull up to see how the hardware world is responding to all this AI noise.
  
  
• If you’re choosing tech, not just attending panels: Articles like how to choose the right manufacturing robot or how robotic arms actually work give you the foundation to truly act on what you hear at Momentum AI.
  
  
• Don’t let this conference be your only global move: Hitting more than one show gives you regional trends, different case studies, and a better BS detector. London, Singapore, San Jose — each one hits different.
