The AI conferences on our calendar right now
We only list official events we can verify. Here is the short 2026–2027 calendar, with links to each organiser, not ticket resellers.
There are more AI conferences than weeks in the year. Most of them are rebrands of older tech events with "AI" bolted onto the title. We do not invent dates, invent venues, or send you to a reseller.
This post matches the conference directory. If a date moves, the organiser site wins. We are not affiliated with these events and we do not sell tickets.
World Summit AI · 7–8 October 2026 · Amsterdam
Official site: worldsummit.ai
Europe's flagship AI summit. Two days at Taets Art and Event Park, part of World AI Week. Best if you want a broad, executive-level update rather than a research deep dive.
Confirm the programme and tickets on the organiser site before you book travel.
NeurIPS 2026 · 6–12 December 2026 · Sydney
Official site: neurips.cc/Conferences/2026
The annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems. The main meeting is in Sydney. Satellite meetings are listed for Atlanta and Paris later that week.
This is a research conference. Practitioners go for the tutorials and the poster floor, not the keynotes. Confirm registration windows on neurips.cc.
AMLD Intelligence Summit 2027 · 9–11 March 2027 · Lausanne
Official site: appliedmldays.org
Formerly Applied Machine Learning Days, organised with the EPFL AI Center. Talks, workshops, and an industry expo at the SwissTech Convention Center.
Quiet, technical, and European. Confirm the programme on the official site.
ICLR 2027 · 26–30 April 2027 · California
Official site: iclr.cc/Conferences/2027
The International Conference on Learning Representations. Official dates are posted. The exact venue is still listed as to-be-announced on the ICLR site.
Do not buy travel until the venue is confirmed on iclr.cc.
RAISE Summit 2027 · 6–8 July 2027 · Paris
Official site: raisesummit.com
A European AI leadership event. The next announced edition is at Palais des Congrès de Paris. The 2026 Paris edition has already happened.
Confirm dates, venue, and tickets on the organiser site.
What we will not list
We leave off events we cannot verify on an official organiser page. That includes generic "AI for [industry]" summits with no current dates, virtual events that only exist as a Meetup topic page, and anything that would send you to a reseller instead of the organiser.
If you run a real event and want it considered, use the promote your event form.
How to choose one
If you can attend exactly one:
- Researcher or aspiring one: NeurIPS or ICLR
- Executive who wants a once-a-year refresh: World Summit AI
- Applied practitioner in Europe: AMLD
- Founder or operator focused on the European ecosystem: RAISE
The talks are usually online later. The hallway conversations are the part you cannot replay. Either way, buy from the official site.
