Dubai AI Festival opens on 26 October, focused on putting AI to work
Dubai AI Festival runs on 26 and 27 October 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre, six months after its original April dates. In its 20 October announcement, DIFC said the third edition expects more than 150 speakers, 500 investors and 200 exhibitors. The programme focuses on moving AI from experiments into everyday work. Coverage so far is the organiser’s release and event guides; independent reporting should follow once it opens.
