Dubai AI Festival 2026 | 26-27 October

Dubai AI Festival brings together government leaders, technology companies, investors and entrepreneurs to examine how artificial intelligence can create commercial and economic value. Its position within Dubai’s wider digital strategy gives the event particular relevance for leaders considering where AI investment, infrastructure and governance may develop next.

Dubai AI Festival offers senior decision-makers a useful perspective on how a major financial and commercial centre approaches artificial intelligence as an economic strategy. Organised by Dubai AI Campus in strategic partnership with the Dubai International Financial Centre and the UAE Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications Office, the festival connects public policy with investment, enterprise adoption and technological development.

The programme addresses global AI governance, ethics, infrastructure, investment, workforce transformation and AI literacy. These themes give executives and board members an opportunity to consider the institutional conditions required for adoption, alongside the technologies entering the market. The event also incorporates workshops, roundtables, investor meetings and startup showcases.
