What’s World AI Week?
It is a decentralised, open platform where anyone, from startups and tech giants to academic institutions and investors, can organise or attend events showcasing the latest in AI innovation, research, entrepreneurship, policies, and ethics.
Through over 100 affiliated events during the week, World AI Week highlights how AI is transforming business, science, and society while fostering collaboration and new partnerships across the global AI ecosystem.
Why host an event during World AI Week?
From 5 to 9 October 2026, the global AI community gathers in Amsterdam. With over 15,000 attendees expected, it’s a unique chance to connect with leaders across business, science and technology all in one place – a first in the AI ecosystem.
By hosting your own event, you’ll tap into this global momentum. We’ll list it as part of the official programme, so all you need to do is plan how you want to engage your audience. A workshop. A breakfast. Networking drinks. It’s up to you.
Who hosts events during World AI Week?
Anyone engaged in the AI ecosystem can host an event, whether you are a large tech company, an innovative start-up, an academic institution, an investor, a community organisation, or an individual AI enthusiast. World AI Week is truly for everyone passionate about AI.
