What Is SaaStr Annual 2026?
SaaStr Annual 2026 — officially branded as the SaaStr AI: ANNUAL x AI Summit — is the world's largest gathering for B2B SaaS and cloud founders, operators, and investors.

Turn the 2026 Record Into Useful Research
Use archived exhibitor, sponsor and agenda information to understand the market, compare companies and prepare for the next edition. Separate facts announced for 2026 from assumptions about a future program.
Priority areas
- go-to-market strategy
- founder and executive leadership
- fundraising and corporate development
- revenue technology and partnerships
Questions that improve vendor and partner conversations
- Which growth stage and business model make the advice relevant?
- What operating metric or constraint does the approach improve?
- Which customer, investor or partner outcome is in scope?
- What follow-up data or introduction should be exchanged?
Relevant stakeholders
- founders and executives
- sales and marketing leaders
- investors and corporate development
- SaaS operators and partners
Record the reason each company fits, the evidence still needed and one owned next step. Lensmor can help organize public exhibitor and company information into a reviewable account list with verified decision-maker contacts. Event participation is context, not proof of purchase intent, so keep human review before outreach.
How to Use a Past-Event Exhibitor List
- Group companies by the priority areas above instead of reading the directory alphabetically.
- Define one relevant use case, buying question or partnership hypothesis for every shortlisted company.
- Identify the stakeholder who can answer that question; a generic contact is rarely enough.
- Check the official directory again for additions, removals or booth changes.
- Rank targets by fit, evidence and the value of a live conversation.
Event Research Checklist
- Verify the official date, venue, registration status and access rules.
- Save the current agenda, exhibitor directory and floor-plan links.
- Separate must-attend sessions or meetings from optional discovery.
- Write comparable evaluation questions before speaking with vendors.
- Capture the company, person, evidence, constraint and agreed follow-up in every note.
- Assign owners and due dates within 48 hours of the event or research review.
