JournalismAI Festival 2026: London Live Experience
About JournalismAI
JournalismAI is a project of Polis – the journalism think-tank at the London School of Economics and Political Science – supported by the Google.
The Festival is back in person
We're bringing the JournalismAI Festival back to London for our second in-person gathering, the premier global event at the intersection of journalism and AI.
Over the years, the Festival has grown from a bold idea into a space for creativity, collaboration, and fresh thinking. Join us to meet the community face-to-face.
Registration

🎫 Limited in-person capacity: apply now!
Attendance & Tickets
In-person capacity for the Festival is limited, so we use an application process to bring together a diverse cohort of peers across the industry who can learn from one another. To build a room rich in perspectives, we evaluate applications based on your current role in AI and journalism, geography, organisation size and type, career stage, and areas of expertise.
Why are we introducing a small fee this year?
Last year demand for the in-person slots was very high, yet a number of reserved seats went unused, meaning people on the waitlist missed out. Introducing a nominal ticket fee helps us confirm that everyone who secures a spot fully intends to join us. We hope this will help us fill the room and maximise the opportunity for everyone. The ticket fees are as follows:
£50 – both days
£25 – single day
*We never want cost to be a barrier. If you're unable to afford the ticket fee, please email us at festival@journalismai.info to request a waiver.
All applicants receive a decision within 15 working days. If you're not selected, you'll be added to our waitlist and notified if space opens up.
Please note: Approved applicants must complete payment within 48 hours to confirm their place. Unpaid tickets will be released to applicants on the waitlist.
