AI Business Summit 2026: FAQ
Dates, cost, replays, the VIP and Platinum upgrades and how to join. Straight answers in one place, with real prices.
The AI Business Summit 2026 is a free, 3-day virtual event hosted by AI strategist Alicia Lyttle, CEO of AI InnoVision. The next edition runs September 30 to October 2, 2026, starting at 12 PM ET each day. Its pitch is simple: learn to start or scale a business with AI, even from zero. That pitch generates a predictable set of questions, and the official page answers few of them directly.
So we did the work. Our editorial team reviewed the summit, verified the host's credentials, went through the actual registration funnel and pulled every price. The answers below come from that research, not from the sales page. Where a question deserves more than a paragraph, we link to the full breakdown on this site.
Two things up front. Yes, the free tier is genuinely free, including replays. And yes, there are optional paid upgrades: a $47 VIP pass and a $197 Platinum tier. Everything else lives in the questions below.

The questions, answered
Is the AI Business Summit free?
Yes. Registration, all three live days and the replays cost nothing. There are two optional paid upgrades, the VIP pass at $47 and the Platinum tier at $197, but neither is required. You can attend the entire event, watch every session and use the replays without spending a dollar.
When is the AI Business Summit 2026?
September 30 to October 2, 2026. Sessions start at 12 PM ET each day and run into the evening. If those dates clash with your schedule, replays are included with free registration, and our rebroadcast guide explains exactly how to catch up.
Where is it held?
Nowhere physical. It's a fully online, virtual event streamed live, so you can attend from any country with an internet connection. There's no venue, no travel and no ticket beyond the free email registration.
Who hosts it?
Alicia Lyttle, a certified AI consultant, TEDx speaker and CEO of AI InnoVision with 20+ years in digital business. Her bio says she has trained teams at organizations such as NASA, Cisco, JPMorgan Chase and Walmart. The 2026 edition adds guest speakers including Nehemiah Davis, Coach K, Lorette Lyttle, Nina Moorer, Adura Sanya and Sevyn Buffins. See the full lineup.
What will I learn?
How to start or scale a business with AI. The training centers on three deliverables: building an AI content system, setting up an AI assistant that automates repetitive work, and following a 30-day launch plan. It's implementation focused rather than theory focused, and it assumes no technical background.
Is it beginner-friendly?
Yes. The content is built for people starting from scratch as well as owners, coaches, creators and freelancers who already run a business and want to add AI. Advanced AI practitioners looking for technical depth in models or code are the one group likely to find it too basic.
Are replays available?
Yes. Every free registrant gets replay access for a limited window after each day, so missing a live session doesn't mean missing the content. The $47 VIP pass extends this to lifetime session recordings. Our rebroadcast guide covers how the replay window works in practice.
Is there a VIP pass, and how much is it?
Yes. The VIP pass costs $47 and is offered right after free registration. It adds lifetime session recordings, VIP evening sessions, a resource vault and early access each day. It's optional, and the free tier already includes the full live training plus replays. Our VIP page breaks down what's inside and who should bother.
What does the Platinum upgrade cost?
Platinum costs $197. It adds Ask AI Alicia (a 24/7 AI mentor), a bonus Day 4, a pre-summit strategy call and recordings from past summits. Buying VIP and Platinum together costs $244, which is exactly $47 plus $197, so there's no bundle discount. Our pricing breakdown compares all three tiers side by side.
Is there a catch?
The honest answer: the summit is free because it also showcases the host's paid programs. Expect upgrade pitches during the event. They're skippable, and the free training stands on its own if you ignore them. Our full review covers the funnel in detail so you know what to expect before you register.
What time do sessions start, and how long are the days?
Sessions start at 12 PM ET each of the three days. The most common attendee complaint is practical: the days run long. If you can't block out full afternoons, plan on using the included replays rather than skipping the event.
How do I register?
Click any register free button on this site to reach the official registration page, enter your email, and you're in. It takes about 30 seconds and costs nothing. You'll then see the optional VIP offer, which you can accept or skip.
Is the AI Business Summit legit?
Yes. The host is a verifiable, established educator with a corporate training record, the speakers are named real people, registration is genuinely free and replays are included. We found no credible reports calling it a scam. Read our full review for the complete legitimacy check, including the cons.
Is this the official summit website?
No. AIBusinessSummitLive.com is an independent guide to the summit. We're not the official organizer and aren't affiliated with the event, see our About page. The official site is aibusinesssummit.com, and our links take you to its registration page.
