2026 Chicago AI Week Summit
Chicago AI Week 2026 (June 25–26, 2026) marks the fourth edition of this premier gathering of global AI leaders from industry, government, and academia. Building on the success of the past three years, which welcomed 1000+ attendees for a week-long program featuring over 100 sessions and 300 speakers, this year’s event will further elevate dialogue on scaling responsible AI adoption across industries.
The 2026 edition is powered by AI 2030 in collaboration with 1871 and partners, and is supported by a distinguished Chicago AI Council featuring leaders from both the public and private sectors across a wide range of industries.
Responsible AI Day brings together global leaders to showcase AI in action—focused on deployed solutions in security, safety, and governance. The emphasis is on execution at scale: how organizations are managing risk, ensuring trust, and operationalizing AI in real-world environments.
Select Responsible AI startups will pitch directly to investors and enterprise leaders, accelerating solutions from innovation to global deployment.
Industry Day spotlights AI delivering measurable impact across financial services, healthcare, public sector, and logistics. Leaders will share how AI is being implemented today—driving efficiency, resilience, and growth—and how these solutions are scaling across systems, institutions, and markets.
Together, the two days convene a cross-sector ecosystem to move beyond ideas and into deployment, investment, and scale—advancing Responsible AI as a cornerstone of the global economy.
