The Dubai AI Festival will bring together more than 20,000 attendees at the Dubai World Trade Centre on 26 and 27 October, with industry leaders expected to discuss developments shaping artificial intelligence and its adoption.
The event is being promoted as a meeting point for the global AI ecosystem, connecting industry participants, partners and organisations working across the sector.
A key announcement expected during the festival is the release of the State of AI 2026 report on Tuesday, 27 October. Further details about the report’s findings were not included in the announcement.
The programme also features a keynote by Dominic Williams titled “Sovereign Cloud for the AI Era”, scheduled for 3.10 pm UAE time on Tuesday.
The focus on sovereign cloud comes as organisations consider how to manage data, infrastructure and control over AI systems. However, the announcement did not provide further details about the keynote’s content or the report’s conclusions.
The festival offers an opportunity for businesses and technology professionals to exchange ideas and build partnerships as AI adoption expands across industries. Its announced attendance figure reflects the event’s intended scale, while the report and keynote are expected to provide further discussion points for participants.
