Welcome to Chandler, Arizona!

We're thrilled to have the 2026 NAAIC host the 2026 National Summit on Artificial Intelligence, October 14-16, 2026.

This exciting event brings together leaders from education, industry, and government to discuss how AI is changing our learning and workforce development.

Hosted by the Maricopa Community Colleges at Chandler-Gilbert Community College, the summit will feature keynotes from AI experts, hands-on workshops, and a Student Innovation Showcase. Join us for insightful discussions and networking opportunities!

October is a busy month in Chandler, and we encourage you to book a room early at one of our nearby hotels to secure the preferred conference rate. The Chandler hotels are all located about a 20-minute drive from Phoenix International Airport (PHX) and only 5 to 12 minutes from Chandler-Gilbert Community College.

Experience a Ride in an Autonomous Vehicle

Have you wondered how autonomous vehicles are changing the world? While visiting Chandler, see and feel the future by experiencing a ride in a Waymo One autonomous vehicle. Waymo rides offer convenience like no other by operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unlike other ride-sharing services, take your Waymo to popular spots like Chandler Fashion Center and make stops along the way, all in one booking.

By booking and routing a Waymo One, the autonomous vehicle service works much like Uber or Lyft.

  • Download the Waymo One app, link your Google account and payment method, and enter your destination within the service area to request a ride.
  • Shortly afterward, a sleek white Jaguar I-PACE will arrive, with your initials displayed on a rotating screen atop the vehicle.
  • Alternatively, you can also book a Waymo One ride directly through the Uber app.
