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.

Yes — Dubai is confirmed and dates will be announced soon. Register for KL first and you'll get priority access and an exclusive early bird discount when Dubai tickets open. Stay tuned at [email protected].
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 GCC, and South Asia.
Can my company sponsor or exhibit?
Yes. Sponsorship packages start from $3,000 and exhibitor booths from $999. A Series Partner package locks in KL now with priority terms for Dubai 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.
