A Summit built by builders
The room where the decisions get made
This year's theme, Agents at Work, signals where we are in the cycle. The awareness phase is over. The experimentation phase is largely over. What companies need now is clarity on deployment, ROI, and governance.
GenAI Summit 5 puts the full AI stack in one place: the foundational model builders, the application layer, the consultants who've already run the implementation you're about to attempt, and 1,200+ organisations at the same stage of the journey as you.
What sets us apart?
Produced from the inside. This Summit is made by a team that designs and ships AI products every day, for the people making the real calls on AI.

Our manifesto
Why we are building the GenAI Summit
This Summit is produced from the inside, by people shaping GenAI in practice, not watching it from the sidelines. It is the space we needed: a room where trust forms through direct human contact, where GenAI journeys begin, and where partnerships close. Made by and for the companies
a) that have made AI a core strategic priority
b) that have operationalized AI across their organizations, across a 12-nation corridor that can reach Athens in under two hours.
It's not a stage. It's a working session.
The best of the 4th GenAI Summit, as we build the 5th
Rewind highlights
A Summit built by builders
The AI agents are here.
Are you?
Meet the people behind the products you'll be using: 200+ speakers across every layer of the AI stack, on stage and in the room.
