About This Event
World Summit AI 2027 is a two-day artificial intelligence conference and expo held at Taets Art & Event Park in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 6 and 7 October 2027. It is run by InspiredMinds!, the community business Sarah Porter founded in 2017, and it anchors World AI Week (4 to 8 October 2027), a citywide programme the organiser says includes more than 50 affiliated events. The 2026 edition, the tenth, listed 10,000+ attendees from 130 countries, 300+ speakers, 100+ exhibitors and 10 tracks, with speakers including Audrey Tang, Daphne Koller, Zico Kolter, Grady Booch, AMD's Mark Papermaster and LangChain's Harrison Chase. That edition added a Sovereign AI track, expanded workshops and masterclasses to 40+ small-group sessions, and introduced peer-to-peer roundtables. The 2027 speaker lineup and agenda have not been published yet; tickets are already on sale.

Why Attend
World Summit AI suits a CIO or Chief AI Officer who wants a European read on AI policy, sovereignty and enterprise adoption in one compact trip.

Workshops and roundtables give your team hands-on sessions in small groups, and the 100+ exhibitor expo lets you shortlist vendors in a day. World AI Week's side events add investor and partner meetings around the two main days.
