UserTesting at The AI Conference 2026

Get the right people behind the AI you’re building

As AI helps with more complex and specialized work, teams need people with the right expertise and experience to help create, judge, and test what they build.

Meet UserTesting at The AI Conference to see how AI teams access verified specialists and intended users for work that requires human judgment, from training and evaluating models to testing agents in real-world workflows.

From technical and domain experts to everyday consumers, bring in the right people with the human judgment needed to improve how AI performs in the real world.
