AI World Congress 2026

AI World Congress 2026 is an artificial intelligence conference held on November 25-26, 2026 at The Great Hall, Kensington Conference and Events Centre in London. Over two days, the event focuses on how AI is being applied across enterprises, research labs, and startup environments. Attendees experience a programme that combines strategy, technical depth, and policy discussion with structured networking in a central London venue.

AI World Congress 2026 is designed for professionals working directly with AI strategy, development, and research. Tech executives and decision makers, including CTOs, CIOs, and technology leaders, can use the event to refine AI roadmaps and learn from peers deploying AI in their organisations.

AI researchers and scientists are supported by content on emerging technologies, foundation models, and ethics, aligning with ongoing research questions. Developers and engineers building AI-powered applications gain insights into infrastructure, data management, security, and agentic AI at enterprise scale. Entrepreneurs and innovators, particularly startup founders working with AI, can explore industry disruption, market trends, and sector-specific use cases in fields such as healthcare, finance, and global challenges.

The programme is organised around clearly defined AI themes. Data and infrastructure sessions explore best practices for building resilient AI pipelines and scaling systems. Emerging AI technologies, including reinforcement learning, robotics, and computer vision, are examined with an emphasis on current developments.

Generative AI is a dedicated strand, covering the evolution of generative models, text-to-image systems, and creative AI applications. Responsible AI and ethics sessions focus on fairness, accountability, transparency, and regulatory approaches. Enterprise AI integration features strategies for deploying AI across business operations, alongside topics such as foundation models, AI and human collaboration, and AI for global challenges in areas like climate and healthcare.

The 2026 agenda offers a structured schedule of keynotes, panels, and talks from AI leaders and practitioners. On November 25, the programme includes:
