We missed you last year. Maybe you missed us (we hope). But there’s good news for 2026: Pendomonium is back in full force, and it couldn’t come at a better time. 

AI has changed everything. It’s scary, exciting, confusing, and many people (us included) have a lot of questions about the changes. 

That’s exactly what Pendomonium is for. We’ll dig into what it takes to drive AI adoption—where to start, how to scale, and what “good” looks like. We’re welcoming top thinkers in product, CPOs from leading tech companies, and AI innovators to our stages. 

Key things to know:

  • When: March 24-26, 2026

But first: What is Pendomonium?

Pendomonium is a three-day product festival with 40+ sessions to choose from. Attendees experience hands-on workshops, live music, glitter, swag, keynotes, and lots of confetti. We call it a product festival because it’s not your standard conference. You’ll leave Pendomonium with new friends and ideas you can put into practice immediately. 

What’s new for 2026? 

🗓️ New time of year

For the past several years, we’ve held Pendomonium in the fall. We took a hiatus because our amazing venue was under construction. They’re hard at work making the entrance plaza easier to access and adding more greenspace to make Pendomonium 2026 more fantastic than ever. 

👥 More pre-event programming

While the pre-event day (March 24) is optional, we recommend attending. It’s when we host workshops, extra sessions, and do hands-on product tours with our R&D team. It's a chance to get a first look at all the latest Pendo innovations. Think of it like college orientation but with better networking, tastier food, and a headshot booth. There’s also a VIP reception and customer awards ceremony.

🎵 Updated scheduling + BBQ & Beats

Based on past feedback, we’ve created more session formats, longer breaks, and faster food options. We’re also blowing out Tuesday evening with a BBQ & Beats party that celebrates NC food and tunes. There’s also an opportunity for more structured networking during the evening event. 

✨ Pendopalooza with OK Go

As Grammy winners who constantly evolve and lead with creativity, OK Go is the perfect musical guest for Pendopalooza. They’re known for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in a music video and changing how the world looks at treadmills. We’ll also be hosting a fireside chat with some band members on March 26.


Our 2026 keynote speakers 

Aside from the many amazing vibes, content is our key differentiating factor at Pendomonium. We’re thrilled to welcome speakers from 60+ companies and are honored to be joined by our keynotes:
