What is MAIXPO

Marketing is being
rewritten by AI.
Are you leading it?

MAIXPO 2026 is Southeast Asia's dedicated AI marketing conference and expo. Two days of real strategies, proven tools, and honest conversations about how artificial intelligence is transforming the way brands grow.

This is not a hype fest. No vague keynotes about "the future." MAIXPO brings together working marketing professionals — CMOs, digital leads, agency founders, brand managers — who are actually deploying AI in campaigns, creative, analytics, and customer experience right now.

Whether you're just starting your AI journey or already running AI-powered campaigns, MAIXPO gives you the tools, contacts, and clarity to move faster and spend smarter.

Kuala Lumpur, December 29-30, 2026. SEA's most accessible conference hub — easy visa for 160+ countries, world-class venues, and a city that knows how to host a serious event.

Why Attend

Six reasons
to be in the room.

01
Real AI strategies that work
No theoretical concepts. Every session is built around tactics that speakers have actually executed — with real results, real numbers, and real lessons from failure.

The regional marketing community
Meet 6,500+ attendees from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Pakistan, and beyond. The conversations in the corridors are worth the ticket alone.
03
Hands-on workshops
Walk out with skills you can use on Monday morning. Our workshop sessions are practical, tools-based, and limited to small groups so you actually learn.

The AI marketing expo floor
Explore 50+ of the most relevant AI tools for marketers — live demos, side-by-side comparisons, and the chance to negotiate real deals on the floor.
05
Structured networking
We don't do awkward networking breaks. MAIXPO runs curated roundtables, lunch sessions, and a closing evening for meaningful professional connections.
06

FAQ

Common questions.
Straight answers.

Who is MAIXPO for?
Marketing managers, CMOs, digital leads, agency founders, brand strategists, ecommerce managers, and entrepreneurs who are serious about using AI to grow. If you're responsible for marketing results, MAIXPO is for you.
Is there more than one MAIXPO event?
Yes. MAIXPO 2026 takes place in Kuala Lumpur on December 29-30, 2026. A second MAIXPO, the AI and Marketing Conference & Expo for the Balkan region, takes place in Tirana, Albania, on 30 and 31 March 2027. See the Albania event page.
Do I need a technical background to attend?
Not at all. MAIXPO is built for marketing practitioners, not engineers. Every session is designed for people who run campaigns, manage brands, and drive growth — no coding required.
Is there a Dubai edition?
Dubai is on hold for now and is not on the current calendar. Tirana, Albania is the next edition, on 30 and 31 March 2027.
What language is the event in?
All sessions, workshops, and materials are in English. MAIXPO is designed as a regional international event welcoming attendees from across Southeast Asia, the Balkans, and South Asia.
Can my company sponsor or exhibit?
Yes. Sponsorship packages start from $5,000 and exhibitor booths from $999. A Series Partner package locks in KL now with priority terms for Tirana when confirmed. Email [email protected] for a full prospectus.
What is the refund policy?
Full refund available if the event does not proceed. Ticket transfers are allowed up to 14 days before the event. No refunds for cancellations within 14 days, but tickets are fully transferable.
I'm interested in speaking. How do I apply?
We welcome applications from working marketing professionals with real AI implementation experience. No vendor pitches or sales presentations. Apply at [email protected] with your topic and brief bio.
How much do MAIXPO 2026 tickets cost?
Standard early bird tickets are USD 49 (regular USD 99) and cover both main stage days plus the exhibitor floor. VIP early bird tickets are USD 99 (regular USD 199) and add all four workshop tracks, the VIP networking lounge, and speaker meet-and-greet access. Early bird pricing ends October 30, 2026 — register before then to lock in the lower rate.
What AI marketing topics are covered at MAIXPO?
The programme covers AI-powered demand generation, predictive lead scoring, multilingual content at scale, AI-driven attribution, account-based marketing with intent data, conversational marketing, AI in influencer marketing, programmatic advertising with AI optimisation, and building AI-native marketing teams — all drawn from live deployments in Southeast Asian markets.
What AI tools will be demonstrated on the exhibitor floor?
50+ companies will demonstrate live AI marketing platforms across demand generation, content automation, analytics, attribution, and programmatic. Every demo is live with real data — not slides or pre-recorded walkthroughs. If you are evaluating any part of your martech stack for 2026 or 2027, the exhibitor floor is the most efficient way to shortlist tools without going through a full sales cycle.
Will there be workshops at MAIXPO 2026?
Yes. Four parallel workshop tracks run alongside the main stage across both days: AI content strategy, predictive analytics, campaign automation, and AI-native team design. Workshop seats are capped and included with VIP registration. Standard ticket holders can upgrade to add workshop access — email [email protected].
Is MAIXPO suitable for someone new to AI in marketing?
Yes. Sessions are designed for practitioners at all levels, not engineers. If you run campaigns, manage a brand, or lead a marketing function and want to understand which AI tools are delivering results right now in SEA — MAIXPO is built for you. No technical background is needed. Some workshop tracks go deeper for attendees who want hands-on time with specific tools.
Can I get a visa invitation letter for MAIXPO 2026?
Yes. If you require a formal visa invitation letter to support your travel visa application, email [email protected] with your full name, passport number, nationality, and country of application after registering. We issue invitation letters to confirmed ticket holders. Attendees from Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, India, and other countries attending from outside Malaysia frequently request this.
How is MAIXPO different from other AI events in Malaysia in 2026?
Most AI events in Malaysia in 2026 — the World AI Show, AI Revolution Summit, and similar — are built for enterprise IT leaders, government officials, and infrastructure buyers. MAIXPO is built exclusively for marketing practitioners: the people running campaigns, managing brands, and driving pipeline. Every session, workshop, and exhibitor is selected for marketing relevance. If you are a CMO, marketing manager, agency strategist, or growth lead, MAIXPO is the only October 2026 event in KL built specifically for you.
