ABOUT THE AI SUMMIT SERIES

In 2016, at a time when AI conferences were geared towards research & academia, Informa launched The AI Summit Series - the first-ever conference and exhibition to explore what AI practically means for enterprises. Every year since then, we’ve gathered top executives and investors with technology specialists and data scientists from across the globe to network, learn and showcase ground-breaking technology solutions for business.

Celebrating the ten-year anniversary in 2025, it’s clear we were trusted before the hype, and our conference & expo series has firmly established itself at the heart of the AI community with shows running in London, New York, Singapore, Cape Town, and at Black Hat USA.
