AI Summit Brainport 2026

The AI Summit Brainport 2026 will explore this year’s critical question: “AI at work. Use it or lose it?” As AI becomes increasingly integrated into our organizations and daily work, the summit examines how humans and AI can cooperate effectively, what this means for organizations and employees, and how we prepare for the changes AI is already bringing, and those still to come.

The AI Summit Brainport 2026 will take place on Thursday, November 12, at the Evoluon in Eindhoven.
