Speakers 2027
May 5–6, New York
What's Upscale
Upscale is where people who make things with AI get in a room together. Filmmakers, designers, marketers and technologists share what they're learning, building and imagining, and meet others who are just as into it. After 4 editions across Málaga and San Francisco, we're heading to New York. Created by Magnific.
Why New York?
Málaga and San Francisco brought the people building AI. New York brings the people deciding how it gets used: in campaigns, films and brand work. Sessions are shaped with you, not handed down as a brief.
Why should you speak?
Your stage
A 30-minute keynote on the main stage or a hands-on workshop of 60 to 90 minutes. Rough draft first, we'll polish together.
A team on your side
Flights, hotel and one producer as your single contact from the first email to the last thank-you. You show up and be brilliant. We handle the rest.
