The EU AI Act runs through the whole 2027 programme.
What changes in 2027
For its sixth edition, the first dating from 2022, WAICF joins Informa’s AI Summit Series, which also runs the London, New York and Singapore editions. Two new passes appear: a Startup pass and a Government and Academic pass. The organiser announces the full programme and pricing from October 2026.
