World Summit AI Opening Night
About this event
Opening reception for World Summit AI's tenth anniversary edition, held at Circa in Amsterdam-West the evening before the main summit begins at Taets.
InspiredMinds! opens the tenth anniversary edition of World Summit AI with an evening reception at Circa in Amsterdam-West, the night before the main programme starts in Zaandam.
The evening is the traditional curtain-raiser for World AI Week, drawing summit speakers, sponsors and delegates arriving in the city. Programming includes an audience session with Audrey Tang, Taiwan's first digital minister and a longstanding voice on democratic technology governance.
This is a networking event rather than a conference track, and it functions as the anchor point for the wider fringe programme running across Amsterdam that week.
Access is by invitation. If you are not already on the summit delegate list, check the official page for whether places are open before making plans.
