AI Horizon Conference Returns to Lisbon on 11 November 2026

AI Horizon Conference is back. On 11 November 2026, the AI Ethics and Integrity International Association (AIEI) returns to Lisbon with its annual conference: one evening dedicated to ethical AI, innovation and the people who make both happen.

AI Horizon Conference 2026 brings together AI entrepreneurs, investors and industry leaders to explore ethical AI and innovation, connecting with over 200 participants. The event features keynote speakers, panel discussions and interactive sessions with experts from leading organisations and companies.

Who you will meet

The room brings together the people who build, fund and shape AI. Founders of AI startups come to meet partners and investors. Investors come to find teams that take responsibility seriously. Leaders of companies that already use AI at scale share what works in practice, and legal and policy experts explain where regulation is heading.

The AIEI Board opens the evening, followed by keynotes from invited speakers and a panel discussion. Later in the programme, selected startups pitch on stage and AIEI presents its annual Awards.
