3DR Holdings Returns Q+AI Summit to New York City in 2026

The Q+AI Summit will return to New York City on October 25-27, 2026, an event dedicated to the developing intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. 3DR Holdings is organizing the summit, which will focus on how quantum computers can enhance AI algorithms, machine learning, and data processing beyond the capabilities of classical systems; applications span industries from pharmaceuticals to finance. Alan Meckler, CEO of 3DR Holdings, stated that the event will attract leading thinkers and organizations from around the world in the quantum and AI fields. Registration for the event includes a dedicated one-day track on Post-Quantum Computing and Cryptography, offering focused exploration of strategies to future-proof systems, and the event’s programming is guided by Bob Sutor and Brian Siegelwax.

Quantum AI Convergence Enables Advanced Algorithms & Data Processing

The synergy between quantum computing and artificial intelligence is unlocking computational capabilities previously considered unattainable. Q+AI 3.0, returning to New York City October 25-27, 2026, reflects this rapidly evolving field with a focused approach. Unlike broader quantum computing or AI events, Q+AI specifically addresses the intersection of these technologies, concentrating on algorithms, machine learning, and data processing enhancements enabled by quantum systems. According to 3DR Holdings CEO Alan Meckler, this specialization ensures in-depth coverage not provided by other quantum computing or AI events. Quantum computing’s ability to efficiently process vast datasets promises to deliver more robust insights and improved processes across sectors like pharmaceuticals, finance, and intelligence gathering. The conference will dedicate an entire day to Post-Quantum Computing and Cryptography (PQC), a crucial consideration for organizations preparing for a future where current encryption methods may be vulnerable, offering a focused exploration of strategies to mitigate these risks.

Dedicated PQC Track Explores Post-Quantum Cryptography Strategies

This specialized track concentrates solely on PQC, deliberately excluding broader cryptography and cybersecurity discussions to maintain a deep, targeted exploration of the subject. Quantum computing’s potential to break current encryption standards necessitates proactive development of post-quantum cryptographic methods, and the inclusion of this track signals the event’s commitment to addressing this critical challenge. The programming for this PQC component is being overseen by Bob Sutor and Brian Siegelwax, leveraging their expertise to curate a speaker lineup and content relevant to future-proofing digital systems. Early sponsors supporting the summit include SEALSQ, C12, Quantum Computing Inc., and DLA PIPER, demonstrating industry recognition of the growing importance of quantum-resistant security solutions.
