    Next edition outlook

    2026
    confirmed

    TSIA World ENVISION 2026 builds on the AI Economics framework introduced in 2025, with deeper focus on execution across the AI Customer Lifecycle. The conference explores three tracks: architecting/organizing the AI-driven lifecycle, monetizing AI across the lifecycle, and building/operating the autonomous customer experience. It addresses the gap between AI-native challengers (who demonstrate value in weeks) and incumbents (who take months to activate customers). The agenda includes speakers from Salesforce, SAP, and TSIA leadership, and incorporates TSIA's 2026 State of AI for Technology Services reports published in February 2026.

    Greater emphasis on AI orchestration and managed MLOps – moving from chatbots to coordinated multi-agent systems with drift/bias monitoring More focus on outcome-based pricing and gain-share models as traditional FTE billing breaks Debate on professional services PS 2.0: moving from effort-based to outcome-based pricing to avoid AI cannibalizing revenue Practical workshops on Value Engineering Offices (VEOs) and Services Offer Engineering to industrialize delivery Case studies on AI Readiness and Governance Services (ARGS), Value Optimization Services (VOS), and Outcome-Oriented AI Services (OOAS) as foundational service categories

    Impact

    A bigger and stronger platform

    TSIA World ENVISION 2025 marked a pivotal moment for the technology services industry, as TSIA formally introduced its AI Economics framework, reframing AI as the most service-intensive era in technology. The conference shifted the industry conversation from AI as a threat to AI as an opportunity for services-led growth, launching the AI Pricing Ladder, Services Continuum, and AI Economics Declaration. The event demonstrated that services are becoming the profit engine of the AI era, with sessions covering outcome-based offerings, AI-driven service delivery, and customer success transformation. Attendees reported that peer roundtables served as a reality check for internal digital transformation timelines.

    Audience quality

    High-value decision-makers

    TSIA World ENVISION 2025 attracted a senior, high-intent audience of technology services professionals, including CIOs, IT service directors, customer support executives, and managed service leaders. The audience was described as strategy-focused, data-driven, and peer-to-peer. Attendees included decision-makers from Dell Technologies, Lenovo, Kantata, and other global technology firms. Participants praised the event for moving past generic AI excitement to focus on concrete data, benchmarking, and real-world execution. The conference's curated networking experiences and roundtables reportedly led to strategic partnerships and accelerated internal transformation timelines.

    Exhibitor outcomes

    Real business growth

    Exhibitors gained access to a high-value audience of services executives actively seeking AI-driven solutions. The STAR Awards provided verified proof points for exhibitors achieving measurable customer impact – Lenovo's two awards demonstrated that innovation frameworks delivered real customer value. Third-party estimates suggest approximately 6,750 attendees, offering significant lead generation potential. However, no official organiser post-show report with exhibitor satisfaction metrics or ROI data was published.

    Why it matters

    TSIA World ENVISION 2026 is the definitive strategic event for technology and services leaders navigating the most disruptive shift in the industry's history—the transition from seat-based SaaS economics to AI-driven outcome-based models. As BMI identifies AI as the single most disruptive megatrend through 2050, and TSIA research confirms that AI is dismantling traditional pricing and delivery models, ENVISION provides the only dedicated forum where services executives can access TSIA's proprietary AI Economics framework, benchmark data, and actionable playbooks unavailable elsewhere. The conference addresses the core industry paradox: AI doesn't reduce service demand—it multiplies it by introducing complexity across infrastructure, integration, and application layers. For buyers, ENVISION offers validated frameworks including the AI Pricing Ladder, DARE model, and Value Engineering Office blueprints to redesign pricing, delivery, and organizational structures. For exhibitors, the event attracts a high-intent audience of CIOs, IT service directors, and customer success executives actively seeking AI-driven service tools to capture AI upside and avoid being disrupted by AI-native challengers. As industrial automation investment increasingly hinges on interconnectivity and AI-driven intelligence, ENVISION bridges the gap between AI promise and enterprise reality, making it essential for technology services leaders who need to transform their organizations in the AI era.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    AI as the Most Disruptive Megatrend Across Industries

    AI is identified as the single most disruptive force shaping industries through 2050, driving 27 industry megatrends across 14 sectors. This surpasses climate change and geopolitical shifts in scope and reach, fundamentally transforming business models and service delivery.

    Source
    02

    Outcome-Based Pricing Replaces Seat-Based Models

    Technology services are shifting from traditional seat-based or effort-based pricing to outcome-based models where revenue ties to delivered business results. Clients demand measurable productivity improvements and value realization, forcing service providers to redesign offerings and commercial structures.

    Source
    03

    Services Become the Last Mile of AI Adoption

    Raw AI models cannot navigate the complexity of legacy systems, fragmented data, and enterprise governance. Professional services (integration/deployment), managed services (ongoing performance/cost control), and customer success are essential to translate AI potential into business reality, making services the profit engine of the AI era.

    Source
    04

    Robotics and Interconnectivity Drive Factory Automation Investment

    Robotics and autonomous production top industrial automation investment priorities for the next five years (41%), followed by smart/connected factories (33%). However, the true competitive advantage lies in interconnectivity—linking AI-driven predictive maintenance, IoT sensors, and data analytics to create intelligent, not just networked, production environments.

    Source
    05

    AI Economics Framework Reshapes Services Monetization

    TSIA's AI Economics framework—including the AI Pricing Ladder, Services Continuum, and DARE model (Design-Activate-Realize-Evolve)—provides a roadmap for transitioning from legacy service models to AI-driven value creation. Pricing evolves from per-seat to consumption-based to outcome-based models.

    Source
    06

    Managed Services Become Guardians of AI ROI

    AI outcomes require ongoing protection as models drift, data changes, costs spike, and risk accumulates. Managed services are evolving from infrastructure monitoring to AI performance orchestration—including managed MLOps, drift/bias monitoring, inference cost optimization, and governance enforcement.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    ARIA Resort & Casino is centrally located on the Las Vegas Strip. The Las Vegas Monorail runs parallel to the Strip from MGM Grand to SAHARA with seven stations, including Boingo Station at the Las Vegas Convention Center – trains arrive every 4-8 minutes and the full route takes about 15 minutes.

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Tipping Culture

    Tipping is expected and deeply embedded in Las Vegas service culture. Tip bellmen, housekeepers, cocktail servers, valet attendants, and tour guides. Cash is essential; casino ATMs charge high fees. Slipping $20 to a front desk agent may occasionally result in a complimentary room upgrade.

    Hydration

    Las Vegas is in the Mojave Desert. Drink water constantly, especially between alcoholic beverages. Carry a reusable water bottle and refill frequently. Tap water is safe to drink.

    Strip Walkability

    The Strip is approximately 4.2 miles long and appears deceptively shorter than it is. Wear comfortable walking shoes. For distances beyond a few blocks, use the monorail, rideshare, or taxis rather than walking.

    Pronunciation

    Nevada is pronounced "Neh-VAD-uh" (rhymes with "bad"), not "Neh-VAH-duh". Also, avoid adding an extra 'e' to Fremont Street.

    Business Attire

    TSIA World draws a senior, strategy-focused audience. Business casual or professional attire is appropriate for sessions; evening events may allow smart casual. Indoor conference rooms are heavily air-conditioned.

    24-Hour Culture

    While many casinos and attractions operate 24/7, not everything does. Confirm operating hours for restaurants, attractions, and services in advance. The Arts District offers bars without video poker screens for a more relaxed experience.

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)

    Visa

    Entry to the US for conference attendees typically requires either a B-1 business visitor visa (issued by US embassy/consulate) or an ESTA under the Visa Waiver Program if the traveller holds a passport from a VWP country. VWP travellers need to register online at least 72 hours before departure. Canadian and Bermudian citizens are visa-exempt. Travelers from non-VWP countries must apply for a B-1 visa well in advance.

    Estimated cost: Not yet confirmed

    Processing: ESTA: up to 72 hours; B-1 visa: several weeks to months depending on embassy workload

    Decision

    Visit, exhibit, or skip?

    QUESTION 1 OF 8

    What is your primary reason for considering TSIA World ENVISION?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    You are 100% focused on learning and benchmarking, not selling. You have a budget of at least $2,000–$3,000 for registration, travel, and lodging. You need strategic clarity on AI economics within the next 12 months.

    Best for

    Services executives, strategists, customer success leaders, product managers, and transformation teams. Anyone responsible for services monetization, AI adoption, or customer outcomes.

    Min. budget

    $2,000.00

    Timeline

    Plan 2–3 months ahead for travel, approvals, and pre-event reading. Register early for best rates.

    Risks

    Travel and accommodation costs can add up quickly

    Sessions may be too high-level if you need tactical implementation details

    Las Vegas in October is peak season – book early to avoid sold-out hotels

    exhibit

    You have a validated solution for the services/technology audience, a budget of $15,000+, and can send 2–4 experienced booth staff. You have a clear lead qualification process and post-show follow-up plan.

    Best for

    B2B technology vendors, services automation platforms, customer success software, managed service providers, and consulting firms that sell to enterprise services organizations.

    Min. budget

    $15,000.00

    Timeline

    Plan 6–9 months ahead – booth selection, staff training, lead capture setup, and pre-show marketing. Space selection based on agreement signing date – earlier is better.

    Risks

    Exhibitor costs: $15,000+ for a 10x10 booth including space, furnishings, staff travel, and marketing

    No official lead-capture product confirmed – prepare your own CRM and badge-scanning process

    High competition for attendee attention – need strong pre-show promotion and booth engagement

    skip

    You have severe budget constraints, your target audience is not services executives, or you already have a clear services AI roadmap and don't need external validation. You can revisit for future editions.

    Best for

    Early-stage startups with limited budget, organizations not focused on AI/services transformation, or those who need only online content or direct sales outreach instead.

    Min. budget

    $500.00

    Timeline

    No timeline commitment – but if you skip, consider alternative ways to stay informed: follow TSIA research, attend webinars, or review session recordings post-event.

    Risks

    Missing critical strategic insights that competitors may act on

    Skipping means no face-to-face networking with senior services leaders

    If you're a vendor, competitors gain visibility with your prospects while you're absent
