World AI Summit Bengaluru is an industry summit for the global artificial intelligence ecosystem, planned to be held on October 14-15, 2026 in Bengaluru, India, at the Sheraton Grand Bangalore Hotel at Brigade Gateway. The summit is positioned as a "global platform for AI innovation," building on the previous edition held in Bengaluru, and is dedicated to advancing an ethical, inclusive, and autonomous future for AI.
In terms of purpose, the summit provides a exchange platform for policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, researchers, and practitioners, promoting the responsible implementation of AI and creating practical value for citizens, businesses, and institutions. Its core value proposition is "the value is in the people in the room," emphasizing that through two days of focused dialogue, participants can stress-test priorities, meet relevant partners, and get closer to the people who are actually putting AI to use.
In terms of main capabilities and content structure, the summit features seven thematic tracks, covering: models and production (comparing model capabilities with the realities of compute, cost, and control), AI infrastructure and adoption needs, the relationship between AI capabilities and strategic dependencies and national priorities, operational change from pilot to daily work, the role of GCCs (Global Capability Centers) in research and talent and enterprise-level adoption, autonomous systems (agents and robotics) and their oversight needs, and AI accessibility and inclusivity. It also covers topics such as generative AI, large language models, AI governance, enterprise transformation, AI safety, and agentic AI.
Participation is in person. The summit offers multiple pass tiers: Full Summit Access includes full participation, a delegate pack, lunch and tea breaks, and a participation certificate; the VIP Pass adds priority seating, an AI policy roundtable, a speakers' lounge, an exclusive networking dinner, and exclusive access to special sessions on generative AI, agentic AI, and AI safety, as well as access to photos and event video.
