Official Side Event programme

Your event,
inside our ecosystem

A side event is your own activation — a workshop, a launch, a closed dinner, a hackathon — recognised as part of AI Summit 2026. Four packages, from paperwork support only through to an event we co-organise with you end to end.

How the designation works. The right to describe your event as an "Official Side Event of AI Summit 2026" is granted by the organising committee after reviewing the content, the organiser, the venue and the format. It does not follow automatically from paying a fee, and the committee may withdraw it if an event departs from what was approved.

Four packages

Pick how much we carry

Fees are the organising committee's service fee, quoted per event. Venue, production, catering, equipment, media, contract staff, permits and other third-party costs sit outside the fee unless separately scoped and quoted.
